How To Start a Blog: A Beginner’s Guide – Review and Facebook Chat!

Possibly the most common question I get asked is from some beautiful and inspired people who would love to start a blog, but are not really sure where to start.

I’ve always found it a really tricky question to answer well. When I first started, I found it difficult to access information that was based at a beginner level, and that wasn’t in “tech-speak”. I spent many many MANY late nights Googling and emailing bloggers, begging for help! Thankfully the blogging community is incredibly generous and supportive and someone would always be able to help me with my issues, but I often wished for a resource that would have all the information in the one place.

A beginner’s blogging bible if you will.

So it is with great excitement that I would like to share with you the recent launch of Louisa Claire’s new eBook – How To Start A Blog: A Beginner’s Guide.

Louisa is one of us. She is an incredibly bright, inspiring and passionate woman who has blogged in different capacities over a number of years. And this eBook stands apart because it is written FOR bloggers BY A blogger!

With 46 pages of very easy to understand hints and tips, some of the topics you will learn about include:

• What Is A Blog?
• Tips For Naming Your Blog
• Blogger vs WordPress: Which Platform Is Best For You?
• Setting Up Your Blog
• 5 Things Every Blog Needs
• Finding Readers
• Tips & Tricks For Successful Blogging
• How To Make Your Blog PR Friendly

And not for a minute do I think that I come even close to being a blogging expert, so I was so very happy to learn a few tidbits that have also helped me with my own blog!! (Plugins – love ‘em or hate ‘em they are a necessary evil!)

The ebook will be available for the introductory price of $8.00 however, there is a special Mummy Smiles discount – a further 15% discount by using the code smile12 at checkout (just click the Buy Now button below).

I feel very lucky to have Louisa as a member of the Mummy Smiles community, so I have invited Louisa to participate in a Mummy Smiles Facebook chat TONIGHT (Wed 2nd May) between 8pm – 9pm AEST. Louisa will be able to answer some of your blogging questions and may even have a few giveaways on the night too! This is a brilliant opportunity to be able to tap into an incredible resource – Louisa’s knowledge and years of blogging experience!

So whether you are thinking about blogging, have just started a blog, or are already a full-scale blogger, join us tonight for a bloggy chat – I am CERTAIN you will learn a thing or two (I know I always do after speaking with Louisa!).
