The beginning is the hardest part. Starting a blog is not only a series of tasks and hours, but also overcoming the fear of failure. We fear that no one will read us and at the same time we are afraid that many people might do so and then criticize us because they don't like the content.

Launching a new blog is like ripping off a band-aid. Either you do it with force or it will be worse . We already have the reader's "no" now we have to go for the "yes". Being afraid is human but letting it stop you is cowardly. You have to get out of your comfort zone because life is a collection of new experiences and it is not about living on memories.
I will soon begin my adventure of launching 6 new blogs.

1. Set up a blog with WordPress
Don't think twice about whether WordPress or Blogger is better . Stop messing around and set up a professional blog so you don't regret not being able to do cool things with it because you chose Google's platform. If you're really serious about setting up a blog, there should be no doubt that your choice should be WordPress .
Add a legal notice : avoid problems from the start. Even if you are a “legal” guy, it is not enough to avoid being sued. You need a page on your blog for this and this digital lawyer explains what you have to take into account.
Pages to manage subscribers : you need to create 3 pages to manage subscribers. If you use the double opt-in where the user has to confirm the subscription by email, you need to create one that I like to call “You’re almost there” where you remind them to go to their inbox to definitively enter your list. The second would be the page where you thank them for subscribing. The third would be for those who are already subscribed to avoid getting the default error (typically in English) from the email marketing tool you are using.
