Essential things to think about before starting a blog

?

It takes several ingredients to create a delicious blog.

It has been exactly 3 years since I wrote my first blog series entitled “Flavorful Tuscany”, but starting it was definitely not easy. Back then, I didn’t know much about blogging, let alone think that one day it could become my full-time job. Even though I had many recipes and food-related stories to tell, it never crossed my mind that I could be sharing them with the whole world

I am now a full-time blogger and the curator of the Simply delicious newsletter, sharing stories about traveling and cooking, as well as tips on how to run a successful blog.

If you are tempted by the idea of creating your own blog, please think about the following:

• Your story (what do you want to tell your audience)
• Your audience (who do you write for)
• Your blog name and design

After you get your head around these 3 essentials, all you have to do is grab your keyboard and the rest will follow.
