How to Blog on Blogger

Many people think that creating a blog is the most difficult thing, but it also needs to be maintained and promoted. In principle, there is nothing complicated in this, you just simply need to figure out how to do it correctly. For example, at the beginning I had problems due to the fact that I stubbornly did not want to study simple material. Then I will try to put everything on the shelves so that you do not have problems with the promotion of the blog.

Posts

Why do we need Posts? Posts are one of the main tools for blog promotion. With their help, we will write, for example, news, if we have a news site, recipes, be it a culinary site, etc. 

Pages

The Blogger also has a "Pages" section, which I thought I could use instead Posts. But you can't create categories and use additional widgets with pages.

Layout

Blogspot Layout
This is the structure of the blog. Here you can add a new gadget and place it in the most suitable place for you, as well as change the blog title, upload a header banner, and set a certain number of posts to be displayed on the Home page.

Theme

The Theme section will help you change or customize the template at any time. There are also a number of additional functions here, for example, saving a backup copy of the template on your device in case its settings are lost.

Settings

In the Settings section there are many additional features that will definitely help you. Yes, there are a lot of settings, but they can be easily dealt with. For me, the most important functions are Save and restore content, Template messages and of course Comments. You can also set the blog language here.

SEO Settings

Because the latter have come up with special SEO rules for every web resource that wants to promote itself with their help. The one who plays better by these rules collects all the profits accordingly.

Blog Customization

And this section is for those who want to improve their website significantly. To improve user experience on your blog, I recommend using the following tools:

Links are one of the most important functions of a blog. Thanks to them, we can direct users to other resources or pages on our blog.

It's much easier and more comfortable to navigate between blog pages with numbered pagination. It is easy and quick to install.

The main menu will give you the opportunity to display those posts or pages that you think need it most.

Another essential element for more convenient content viewing.

A navigation path with special markup will make the site even more convenient and help increase its ranking in search engines.

Tools for easy Blogging

To make the job of creating content and blogging in general easier, I use the following tools:

At times you need to quickly edit a picture so that readers can understand the right way to proceed, an online editor can help you with this.

Search engines value unique content, so I created a tool to generate my preview images. This way you can create your own unique preview images.

Compressing images will help keep your site's pages loading fast. Your readers will definitely thank you for it.

How to earn money

And this is not all, in fact, you can make money on your free blog by using Google Adsense and combine it with other affiliate programs, that will increase your monthly profit. Also, you can sell your products or services.
