Blogging :Kids Edition

You might wonder... How to Make a Blog for Kids?

Here are a few guidelines to amaze your kids with wonderful blogs! Let´s begin!!

1. Choose a Niche

➜Most bloggers have a specific niche, whether it is cooking, gardening or even

daily rants and raves. Consider choosing a niche

that both your child and you are interested in and can do

together.

Ask your little one for ideas on the domain name. You want to select something that is easy for people to

remember. Even if you cannot think of something fun and creative, your child may have the perfect name for your

blog and domain.

2. Decide on the Perfect Domain Name

It is sometimes difficult to come up with topics on a daily basis, so sit down together with your child and try to

come up with a list of different creative posts you can complete with one another. Get plenty of input from your little one to make sure he or she

feels involved. 

3. Come Up With Creative Posts

4. Work Together

on Projects for Posts

Do not forget to work with your child on each post

You may have to do most of the typing if your child is a bit young

Be sure to take plenty of pictures of the different activities

Your readers will love to see all the fun activities they can try at home too

Starting a blog for kids is not complicated, but you do need to figure out a few things ahead of time
