3. Pick the Right Web Hosting to Get Your Pet Blog Online
Every blog needs web hosting. Your web host securely stores all the pages, images, and australia phone number resource on for your website, and keeps your site online 24/7/365.

There are dozens of fantastic web hosting companies out there, which can make it tricky to know what to look for when you’re just getting started.

I always recommend Bluehost and Dreamhost to beginners. Both of those hosting providers work seamlessly with WordPress (my favorite blogging platform by far)—and both have great deals for your first year of blogging. You’ll get a free domain name, too, helping keep costs down even further.

4. Design Your Pet Blog with Free Tools & Platforms
Ultimately, it’s up to you which blogging platform you use for your pet blog. I always recommend WordPress: it’s flexible and built with good blog SEO in mind. If you follow along with my comprehensive guide to starting a blog, that’s exactly how we’ll get your pet blog set up.

Once you’ve set up WordPress on your blog—which only takes a click or two with Dreamhost or Bluehost—then you can start to customize your blog so that it looks great.

Some easy tools to use are:

WordPress Themes: A WordPress theme is like a template for your blog that controls things like the font size, colors, and placement of different elements on your site. You can change your theme as often as you like—your content (blog posts and pages) won’t change. There are lots of excellent WordPress themes available completely free of charge, though you can also upgrade to premium (paid) themes if you want extra features. One of my favorite themes is Elementor: the theme pairs with Elementor’s great drag-and-drop page builder so you can easily customize your website.
WordPress Plugins: One of the best things about WordPress is that it can be endlessly extended using plugins—add-ons for your blog. Plugins let you do things like add a contact form to your site, sell products online, add social sharing buttons to your pet blog, and much more. You can even use plugins to create an online forum or run a podcast from your website.
Free Images: Great photos of pets will add visual interest to your blog. It’s important to use copyright-free images, if you’re using photos you’ve found online: the websites Unsplash, Pixabay, and Pexels are all good sources of these.
5. Come Up With Smart Post Ideas for Your Pet Blog
What should you write about on your pet blog? Maybe you want to share pet-related news, product reviews, or tips for pet owners. You could spend some time brainstorming ideas. Think about what you wanted to know as a new pet owner or what you’ve learned about your pets over the years.

Some easy ready-made ideas for pet blogs are:

Writing a “beginner’s guide” to owning a dog/cat/rabbit/whatever type of pet you blog about.
Writing about the top pet products you’ve bought in the past year.
Sharing your tips on a common question or problem (e.g. how to stop your cat from scratching your furniture).
Training tips (e.g. training your dog to walk on a leash).
Signs and symptoms of pet health issues, like fleas and ticks, and how to treat them.
Sharing quotes or funny posts from pet lovers.
