How do I start blogging in 2026?
Starting a blog in 2026 is not about finding the “perfect niche.” It is about finding a format you can show up for even on your laziest days.
For me, it looked like:
20 minutes daily writing
1 weekly post (even if it felt “not deep enough”)
A simple Notion page to store ideas
Here’s the part no one says:
Your blog only grows when it stops living in your drafts folder.
Pick one of these formats and stick to it:
Short opinion posts (150–300 words)
How-to guides from your actual experience
Before/after stories that show what changed
FAQs people keep asking you
Then:
Buy a clean theme on WordPress or use Substack (zero fiddling).
Reuse your posts on LinkedIn/Twitter. Distribution matters more than the platform.
Block calendar time for it. Literally. A “Blog Hour” every Sunday. Structure keeps consistency at bay.
And remember:
Readers don’t want perfect. They want presence.
