Memulai blogging bagi saya adalah keputusan lama yang tertunda.. *tsaelahh* entahlah kenapa butuh waktu yang terbilang lama untuk memulainya secara serius. Padahal saya sudah senang menulis sejak di bangku SD lho.. Gak percaya? Dulu kan menulis buku diary itu ngehits banget. Jauh sebelum ada social media, sarana curhat ya buku diary itu. Hayooo ngaku siapa yang dulu suka nulis buku diary? π
Blog saya pertama kali itu proyek kroyokan bersama sahabat-sahabat saya. Yang berujung mandeg karena kesibukan masing-masing personilnya. Setelah vakum lama, sejak awal tahun 2016 saya berkeyakinan untuk mulai membuat blog secara serius. Karena sejak 2 tahun lalu saya concern tentang dunia hewan domestik yaitu anjing dan kucing maka blog saya seputar itu. Tapi rasanya gak bebas dengan niche tersebut. Yamasa saya curhat di blog tentang mengobati flu pada kucing? Hehehe
Maka dari itu terpikirlah untuk membuat blog gado-gado istilah bekennya atau blog lifestyle istilah kerennya. Bukannya latah dengan trend blogging jaman sekarang. Tapi rasanya sudah saatnya isi kepala ini dikeluarkan. Apalagi rencana saya untuk menjadi full time wife tapi tetap gak mau kudet alias kurang update. Maka dengan mengucapkan basmallah, cuss bikin blog atas nama uchysudhanto.com
Apa sih blog itu?
Tak kenal maka tak sayang, kita bahas dulu sedikit pengetahuan mengenai blog. Blog merupakan singkatan dari web log. Yang diperkenalkan dan menjadi populer oleh Jorn Barger pada tahun 1997. Lalu untuk nama blog dipakai yaitu sebagai kependekan dari weblog dan diprakasai oleh Peter Merholz pada tahun 1999. Dewasa ini blog banyak dijadikan sebagai diary pribadi, juga media informasi bagi pengguna internet. Maka munculah berbagai jenis blog secara lebih detail seperti blog pribadi atau personal, blog media berita dan hiburan dan juga ada blog pendidikan, blog bisnis dan masih banyak lagi.
Blog sebagai media informasi
Blog bisa berfungsi macam-macam lho. Kalau dulu blog kebanyakan diisi curhatan saja, sekarang ini bisa digunakan tempat wadah online untuk menulis berbagai hal berupa catatan dari seorang blogger. Dengan semakin berkembangnya dunia digital, blog pun bisa dijadikan sebagai sarana berpromosi yang ampuh dan juga bisa menjadi sumber pendapatan uang dengan cara memasang iklan atau pun hal lainnya.
Bagaimana memulai blogging?
Trust me, saya sendiri bingung untuk mulai dari mana. Banyak baca sana-sini dulu sebelum memulai, dan yang pertama harus dilakukan adalah dibreakdown dulu, apa saja yang harus dilakukan saat harus mulai membuat blog. Siapkan kertas dan pulpen ya! Coret-coretan dulu juga gak apa-apa yang penting kebaca.
First thing to do!
Tentukan niche blog kamu. Apa sih yang mau kamu tulis? Mau membuat blog dengan cakupan atau tema apa? Kalau kamu suka terjun ke dapur, bisa membuat blog khusus memasak. Suka traveling? Pas rasanya kalau kamu membuat blog untuk menceritakan perjalanan kamu. Selain memberikan referensi kepada pembaca, bisa memberikan tips seputar traveling. Untuk para mommy kece, blog tentang parenting bisa jadi ajang sharing ilmu lho..
Well, apa pun niche yang kamu ambil, pastikan ya you will gonna have fun with it. Jangan sampai cuma ikut-ikutan yang berujung mandeg di tengah jalan karena gak sesuai passion.
After that, get your own domain and hosting
Mau serius memulai blogging? Pilihan tepat untuk mendapatkan nama domain sesuai dengan pilihan kamu. Kamu bebas mengekspresikan apa yang ada di kepala kamu. Selain terlihat profesional, bisa bikin kamu mik moir berkali-kali buat berhenti ngeblog. Sayang tsayyy udah beli domain sm hosting dianggurin begitu saja? Kan sayang kalau jadi sia-sia.. :))o
Eittsss jangan sedih kalau budget belum mumpuni.. Ada kok sarana untuk membuat blog gratisan terlebih dahulu, salah dua yang terkenal adalah WordPress dan Blogspot. Istilah kata mah, ya udah testing aja dulu.. Lebih suka pake platform yang mana. Yang bikin semangat ngerjainnya dan teteup semangat 45 juga buat ngoprek perintilan-perintilan blognya.
Mulai Persiapkan konten
Konten adalah segalanya dalam blog? Benar! Karena pasti gak ada yang mau mampir ke blog kita kalau konten yang kita sajikan itu standar. Saya sendiri masih terus belajar bagaimana membuat konten yang baik dan benar dalam segi SEO.
Untuk lebih memudahkan, pastikan dulu kategori-kategori di blog kamu. Ada berapa kategori lalu pembagian waktu postingnya kapan. Teorinya adalah membuat schedule untuk konten yang akan dibuat. Per minggu kah, dua minggu sekali atau sebulan sekali, yang penting konstan.
Take your picture
Butuh peralatan mahal gak sih untuk membuat blog yang bagus?
Duh duh.. Gak butuh kok.. Yang pertama paling penting adalah tekad dan kemauan! Iyess! Sama jangan lupa action nya ya kakak.. Β Tekad dan kemauan gak ada gunanya kalau gak action yes? π
Jaman sekarang pasti banyak yang males kalau disuruh baca teks yang panjang-panjang.. Ya kan? Ya kann? Makanya visualisasi itu penting juga di dalam blog. Alat yang dibutuhkan sederhana kok:
- Kamera standar. Pakai kamera smartphone juga cukup kok asal jago edit. Edit paling ok di smartphone untuk saya saat ini ya pakai VSCO.
- Gak mau pakai hape ah ngeditnya! ~ Ya udah sok atulah mangga pakai Photoshop/Corel draw untuk mengedit gambar.
- Cahaya yang natural. Mau foto dimana aja selama pintar mencari background mah ya pasti keren aja..
Domain+Hosting sudah, merencanakan konten blog sudah, lalu apalagi? Well, untuk pemula (termasuk saya) cukuplah itu dulu yang dilakukan untuk memulai blogging. Nantinya akan ada banyak hal lagi yang bisa dilakukan dengan blog kamu. Satu hal yang harus diingat juga, pastikan apa sih sebenarnya tujuan kamu blogging? Karena dari tujuan kamu itu juga nantinya untuk menentukan langkah yang harus kamu ambil untuk blog kamu.o
Bergabung dengan komunitas blogger juga bisa menambah wawasan kmu lho saat memulai blogging. Selain banyak ilmu yang dapat diserap, networking antar blogger bisa membantu menaikkan traffic blog kamu. Karena biasanya sesama blogger sering melakukan BW alias Blog Walking untuk menambah trafik. Sharing dengan teman-teman di komunitas blogger juga bisa jadi ajang pembelajaran. Makanya kenapa tadi saya bilang penting untuk bergabung dengan komunitas blogger.
Sebagai newbieΒ tentunya gak hanya sampai disitu untuk memulai blogging. Biasanya setelah bergabung dengan komunitas blogger akan ada event-event untuk kelas blogging. Mulai dari yang pemula sampai yang expert. Gak ada salahnya berinvestasi di event ini. Toh ilmu yang didapat akan berguna dalam kamu memulai blogging.
Sering main ke blog orang lain juga banyak manfaatnya, selain menjalin hubungan yang baik sesama blogger, bisa mencari ide untuk artikel-artikel kamu selanjutnya. But always remember, it’s a BIG NO NO for being a copycat. Usahakan tulisan kamu adalah tulisan yang original. Mendapatkan ide dari blog lain boleh tapi cara penulisan harus tetap berbeda. Copy cat itu contohnya adalah artikel yang jelas-jelas copy-paste saja dari blog orang lain. Pastinya kamu juga gak mau dong hasil karya kamu dijeplak begitu saja oleh orang lain? Makanya harus saling menghargai karya orang lain ya..
