How To Start A Blog From Scratch and with No Experience

This blog creation guide is created for users like you who are just starting out and knows a little or nothing about blogging.
Within the next few minutes, you will have your blog up and running.

Step 1: Pick a Blog name & domain name for your blog

Domain Name:
  1. Easy to remember
  2. Easy to type
  3. Easy to pronounce.
Just remember these 3 secrets when picking a domain name for your blog.
Name of your blog is the most crucial part for success. A domain name is the URL of a blog which a visitor will use to open a blog.
For example; www.ShoutMeLoud.com
A custom domain name is like www.ShoutMeLoud.com, for which we need to pay  $12/year. However, I have shared a trick below which will help you save this $12 on domain purchase.
Now, there are a few rules which will help you to pick the best name for your new blog. Here are some of the tips from my experience:
  • Prefer .com domain name above everything else.
  • Your domain name should be easy to pronounce and easy to type.
  • Make sure your domain name should not be confusing to the listener.
You can use Bluehost domain suggestion feature to check if your domain name is available or not. Simply enter any word that you have picked for your blog and it will also show you available domain name suggestions.
My suggestion is to be creative and follow the three rules I shared above. Here are a few things you should not do when selecting the domain name for your new blog:
  • Don’t use a too long domain name. Try to keep it lower than 12 characters. Ex: ShoutMeLoud
  • Don’t use domain extension like .info, .net and so on, because they tend to rank bad in Search engines. I always prefer and suggest to use a domain name extension like .com or .org.

Picking the hosting to start the blog:

Now, let us build our blog on a hosting.
Web-hosting is where WordPress will be installed. This is a server which stays online 24*7 and all your future blog images, your blog design and everything will be stored on this server (hosting).
That is how your website will be up and running 24*7.
The good thing is, hostings are cheap.
There are plenty of hosting service providers but for your blog:
Bluehost is the idlest choice as it offers everything you need to create a blog. Features like:
  • Free SSL

RAPO RATE AND RBI POLICY UPDATE आरबीआई नीति अपडेट और वर्तमान रेपो रेट के रुझान

आरबीआई नीति अपडेट और वर्तमान रेपो रेट के रुझान (फ़रवरी 2025) 📊 आरबीआई नीति का ताज़ा अपडेट: भारतीय रिज़र्व बैंक (RBI) की मौद्रिक नीति समिति (MPC) की बैठक में आज महत्वपूर्ण फैसले लिए गए। RBI गवर्नर शक्तिकांत दास ने नीति दरों में बदलाव की घोषणा की है। इस निर्णय के पीछे महंगाई पर नियंत्रण और आर्थिक स्थिरता बनाए रखने का मकसद है। 📈 वर्तमान रेपो रेट (Repo Rate) अपडेट: मौजूदा रेपो रेट: 6.25% (0.25% की कटौती) रिवर्स रेपो रेट: 3.10% (0.25% की कटौती) कैश रिज़र्व रेश्यो (CRR): 4.50% रेपो रेट में कटौती का निर्णय आर्थिक वृद्धि को प्रोत्साहित करने और क्रेडिट की उपलब्धता को बढ़ाने के उद्देश्य से लिया गया है। 📌 रेपो रेट का अर्थ: रेपो रेट वह ब्याज दर है जिस पर RBI वाणिज्यिक बैंकों को अल्पकालिक ऋण प्रदान करता है। जब रेपो रेट बढ़ता है, तो लोन महंगे हो जाते हैं और जब घटता है, तो लोन सस्ते हो जाते हैं। 🚀 रेपो रेट में कटौती का प्रभाव: लोन और ईएमआई: होम लोन और कार लोन पर ब्याज दरें घटेंगी, जिससे ईएमआई कम होगी। ब्याज दरें: एफडी और सेविंग्स पर ब्याज दरों में भी थोड़ी कमी आ सकती है। महं...
