A new post every Monday

Good to know before you start a blog

Joud Hamad

Five things I wish someone had told me before I published my first post.

An open notebook, a pen and a cup of coffee beside a laptop on a white desk

Starting a blog is easy. Keeping it going is the hard part.

Pick a topic you can write about for years

If you can list thirty post ideas today, the topic will carry you through the quiet months.

Own your platform

Use your own domain from day one, so your readers and your search ranking stay with you if you change tools.

Publish on a schedule you can keep

One good post a week beats five rushed ones followed by silence.
