How to write a blog?

I wasn't sure where to start from so I did a bit of research. I started by going to websites of people I already follow.

One of the websites was https://www.theminimalists.com/blog/ which has a blog post about how to start a blog. I decided that was a good start!

In the blog post, they write about how to create a blog and give tips on how to expand it. I felt very motivated looking at their blog. Some of the tips were "20 Blogging Tips to Improve Your Writing" and1"5 Reasons You Should Start a Blog".

I looked at a few other blogs and the first impression I have is that all the posts are very long. I am having a hard time wrapping my head around how people can produce such a length of text consistently, I feel like I don't have that many ideas and topics in my head.

For finding out more about blogs I went to one of the most popular blog sites https://problogger.com I found the same question I was asking already on my screen: How Long Should a Blog Post Be? The answer I got was not very specific which is what I feared. The text said that the length of the post will vary and will depend on the subject of the blog. I found the information that an average blog reader spends 96 seconds reading a blog quite informative.

To be honest, I feel quite nervous to start writing a blog as I was always intimidated by writing and find it difficult. I am ready to try this new media of self-expression and hope it will stick.
