Jane’s article pretty much covers blogging from conception to seasoned blog sites. Some of the points we will cover are listed here. We will cover one at a time. Each Sunday, you will be directed back to Jane’s article, so keep the link. Bookmark it.

How to Start Blogging: A Definitive Guide for Authors

April 23, 2020 by Jane Friedman

“The average author does not benefit much from blogging

For clarity: I define “blogging” as publishing material to a site that you own and control—usually your author website. Blogging is sometimes conflated with writing for other websites or blogs, but that’s not what I’m discussing in this post.

“Blogging” has become a somewhat dated term.”

The first Topic Chat will address What it takes to become an effective blogger.

Join us on Sundays at 7PM EDT bring your questions or experience to share with the room.
