Hi Lumen! I just read your blog and I loved it 💕 I was wondering where you would recommend to start if I wanted to start my own blog or podcast?

Hi lovely anon,

Ohh, great question! I actually have a post called "How to start your blog from scratch", which goes over the absolute basics such as domain name, hosting, strategy etc. It is part of a series called the Blogger Series, since I knew this could be super helpful for other people looking to launch a blog as well.

In January my blog’s focus will be on everything business-related, and so in the upcoming weeks I'll be sharing more guides in the blogger series, tackling topics like: how to create engaging content as a new blogger, essential plugins, everything regarding newsletters, SEO and more.

Let me know if there's a particular topic you'd like to know more about regarding blogging, and I'll add it to the series. ✏️📋

As for podcasts, this is a fun venture I personally haven't dabbled with, but here are a few articles that should get you right on track:

How to start a podcast: the beginner's guide 2020

How to Start a Podcast: Every Single Step for 2021

How to Start a Podcast in 2020: The Complete Podcasting Tutorial

How To Start A Podcast: A Complete Step-By-Step Tutorial

Hope this helps. Congrats on making the first step darling and good luck in your exciting new plans! 💕💕

The last 10 years of pixel art

Retronator the blog is exactly 10 years old right now (+ an hour or so more since I can’t seem to stop editing this post)!

I want to take this opportunity to look back at the teenage years of the 21st century and reflect on how the pixel art scene has grown over the years. I only promise a personal perspective, pieced together from my faulty memory and a bit more reliable archive of 1,700 posts on this blog.

2010

Social media sites emerged already in the late 2000s (Facebook launched in 2004, Twitter in 2006, Tumblr in 2007), but it took quite some time before they caught on, especially outside the US. I joined Tumblr in July 2010 and there were relatively few pixel artists active on the site. @jinndevil and @unomoralez go the farthest of those that I followed. The first post I reblogged was a Back to the Future piece from @megapont (via some blogpost share, since Megapont duo didn't join till 2013).

What was huge on the network however was sharing retro-gaming artworks by blogs like @it8bit and @gameandgraphics. This included many pixel art pieces and it helped grow a community of fans that adored both old games and pixels.

2011

I'd put 2011 down as the start of the hi-bit era of pixel art games, championed by the release of the iconic adventure game Sword & Sworcery. Pixel purism of the initial pixel art movement was left behind by mixing pixels with high-res special effects like soft shadows and vignetting. Also, spaghetti legs started their fad period.

Artists such as @probertson, @drewpixel, and @merrigo started their days on Tumblr, gathering huge audiences over the years. Meanwhile, Retronator grew to a whooping 100 followers by the end of the year.

2012

Tumblr's fan spirits were going stronger and stronger, to which I threw my own logs on the fire by releasing Tribute, my biggest and most popular piece of fan art I created so far.

The highly anticipated FEZ got released (to critical acclaim and other more controversial consequences), further bringing pixel art in front of the mainstream gaming audience.

From newly-followed artists, @johanvinet was damn inspiring with his smooth animations. Anything GIF did immensely good on the Tumblr dashboard.

2013

This was THE year for Tumblr. So many new artists joined, it was hard to keep track. Anyone from established names like Mojang's art director @jnkboy and @konjakonjak of Noitu Love 2 fame (later Iconoclasts) to pixel art beginners such as @waneella, now one of the most well-known illustrators in the scene.

The push for modern art direction with pixel art games wasn't stopping either. Not that amazing, more traditionally styled titles (with fresh color palettes) weren't present, as Chasm's debut on Kickstarter showed, but it was Hyper Light Drifter that really stole everyone's heart (machine) on the same crowdfunding platform. Gradients and smooth dynamic shading became unapologetically part of the pixel art (gaming) vocabulary from then on.

When Papers, Please got released at the end of the year to universal appraisal, a new example was set for showing that pixel visuals don't necessarily need to be the most polished, technically-impressive pieces of artistic expression, they can also be simple—the majority of detail-filling can be offloaded to the player's imagination.

2014

Pixel purist ideology was a highly debated topic. Dan Fessler, the background artist on Chasm, did a strong push against the tighter set of constraints which said you should only use 'clean' tools such as the pencil and color fill to complete your artworks. Dan instead only cared about clean results, pioneering in the process the technique of HD Index Painting that used the depths of Photoshop layer magic to get otherwise identical results. And there were plenty of others right around the corner that wouldn't even care about keeping the results married to traditional pixel art ideals.

Still, the majority of pixel art at this point was very orthodox. I started the Artist Feature series that showcased my favorite artists and none of them did anything controversial (nor they needed to). The biggest break from the old days was mainly highly increased color counts that allowed for subtle transitions without dithering, and free color picking without creating predefined color palettes. Octavi Navarro started his highly iconic @pixelshuh scenes, and the completely unknown @8pxl started her journey towards experimentation with pink sky gradients.

Even more importantly, Pixel Dailies were born on Twitter, following Ben Porter's 365 days of doing pixel art daily.

2015

I called 2015 The Year of Pixel Dailies in the end-of-the-year article in my newly started Retronator Magazine. The Twitter community really exploded this year, bringing in many new artists to the medium, with Pixel Dailies serving as a platform to raise visibility to everyone, old and new. I found out about @weilarddrake and @orange-magik this way, Slynyrd, @iceztiqarts, @igorsandman … Other freshly-discovered people on tumblr were @kirokazepixel (one of the most prolific artists on the scene), @faxdoc (his learning journey was inspiring enough for its own article), and Talecrafter with @deathtrashgame (starting a whole new style of aliased, low-res painting without caring about individual pixels).

The discussion whether pixel art could survive past its nostalgic roots was still in the air, stirred by opinions such as A Pixel Artist Renounces Pixel Art. History is proving them wrong however, with pixel art stronger than ever in 2020. It's not a visual language people born after the 80s couldn't understand.

New-school voxel art pieces started trending with the advent of Magicavoxel, pioneering the development of pixel art's sibling in 3D. The first pixel art convention Pixel Art Park was held in Tokyo. And (important for me personally), I came up with Pixel Art Academy, an adventure game that would take my ambitions in pixel art education into the future.

2016

After 9 years in development, Owlboy released! Also Hyper Light Drifter! And Stardew Valley! And Kingdom! Pixel art games were not dying, they were on the rise.

Edge (the popular British video game magazine) published a special 200+ page issue called Art of the Pixel. It featured contemporary artists outside the gaming context, championing the aesthetic's transition from its video game roots into its own art form.

Pedro Medeiros of @studiominiboss started his famous series of GIF tutorials, subsequently encouraging many others to share their knowledge in the popular square format. Tumblr still saw new artists joining the platform, such as @motocross-arts and @apolism (two thirds of the Japanese trio The Ultimate Pixel Crew), while others like @6vcr started their first pixel explorations that year. @brunopixels, an old-schooler on the platform like me, sparked the Octobit movement, a pixel art alternative to Inktober.

2017

Further new names on Tumblr included @guttykreum (outdoorsy perspective pieces) and @scrixels (one of the most consistent daily posters with over 1,000 artworks by now).

The annual Shibuya Pixel Art Contest joined Pixel Art Park at promoting the art form in Tokyo, Japan (and worldwide really). Lospec became the new go-to resource site for pixel art, picking up the mantle from PixelJoint and Pixelation that��while still active—stagnated technologically and feature-wise.

More than anything, pixel art games were everywhere. Maybe it only seemed to me this way since I was able to go to the Game Developer's Conference as press and had the chance to interview many many people in the scene, leading to over half a year of daily content on this blog. Indie games felt stronger than ever with so many of us full-on realizing our dreams of creating our own games professionally. The one that left the biggest splash on the scenes was no doubt The Last Night, announced front and center in-between AAA titles during Microsoft's E3 conference. The brothers Soret pushed the art direction even beyond the hi-bit era moniker, fusing 3D, shaders, and modern cinematography with pixels in an iconic combination that, like Sword & Sworcery's spaghetti legs, was so atmospheric that it couldn't be resisted by future imitators.

2018

Another game that pushed technological boundaries was Pathway, finally stepping into full light in 2018 and releasing one year later. I still think it has the most advanced pixel art graphics engine to date, using voxels and other tricks under the hood to deliver a completely dynamically lit environment while retaining the pixel-perfect 3/4 view aesthetic. Pixel art games were firmly part of mainstream gaming by now, with Celeste winning many awards alongisde pixelish Return of the Obra Dinn, further cementing the presence of pixels as an ever-evolving medium capable of expressing very different art styles.

I decided to focus solely on developing Pixel Art Academy in 2018, putting this blog on relative hiatus with very sporadic updates towards the end of the year. But I never let it die. I thoroughly enjoy writing about the scene and my interest in the art form only grows with time.

2019–2020

Ironically, the closer the years are to the present, the less I remember what things stood out most. Maybe it's because my brain hasn't had the chance to automatically prune my memories yet from the overload of information that is the interwebs these days. Pixel art seems so out there, so much of my everyday life, encompassing me on Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Reddit, DeviantArt … Even on TikTok you see kids zooming out of their freshly pixelized Minecraft photographs they call pixel art. The medium is alive, and more than ever.

As for the Retronator blog, from its zero followers exactly 10 years ago, it grew to 100 after a year and a half, 1000 the year after, 10k when it was 5 years old, and 30k just last month. Tumblr is still the platform where most of you follow my pixel art reports and I don't intend to stop anytime soon.

Here's to the next decade! Thank you all for reading. <3

hi ngoc! how do you make your wonderful gifs? i wanna learn from my favorite gif blog owo

hi hi! sorry this is late but thank you so much ;-; idk how you want me to answer this but i’ll try to make this detailed as possible and try to explain what my thought process is!

programs/sites that i use:

photoshop cc 2020: i have a mac and this is how i dl’ed ps. this is essential and you can make gifs with just ps but i use other programs it easier for me and to make the process faster

vapoursynth: this is what i use to cut, resize, denoise, and sharpen. i rely on vps heavily

4k video downloader: used to dl youtube videos (i use the free version

twitter video download: to dl twitter videos

naver vlive: to dl vlives

kpop24hrs, 4sashi, twitter and more for .ts files

process:

i’m going to assume you know how to make gifs? so i will just explain what it is that i do, if not, follow this tutorial if you are a beginner :D

i find the video that i want then dl it before finding the timestamp that i want and entering that into vps; these are my usual settings

i prefer my gifs to have a nice balance of sharpness and smoothness. i dont like oversharpened or overly smooth gifs where lines aren’t defined so my finesharp is always half the amount of my knlm filter. this is for regular high definition youtube videos tho! for performance gifs, i use a different setting

as you can see the knlm filter is much higher and this is bc most performance stages are filled with so many colors and that’s a nightmare for ps and denoising it much further will help the quality of your gifs. another thing is the addition of the first line which is used for .ts files which are interlaced

although i said these are my usual settings, every video is different with lighting and quality so i always play it by ear. i tweak my settings to what fits the video best

next step is to run it through the vps editor and import it into ps

as soon as i have it in ps, i change the frame delay either from 0.03 to 0.04 or from 0.4 to 0.5. for performance gifs, i go from 0.02 to 0.3 most of the time

it’s up to your preference but i think 0.3 is too fast. more often than not, i just increase the frame delay by 0.01 and it makes it look so much better! timing also plays a huge part in improving your gif quality

next thing is to color! everyone’s coloring is different and catered to their own preferences but for me, i prefer warm tones with magentas, reds, and yellows. i also add a lot more contrast (this makes your gif much more hd), darken the lighting, and make it more vibrant

i won’t go into detail about how i color (then this would be too long) but i can definitely make another post about coloring if you would like!) i think we can both agree the second gif looks a LOT better

these are the layers i use every single time; you can say this is my base psd but i dont save psds because i use the same layers but with different settings each time. i prefer to color every set than have a designated psd bc every video is different and psds usually work for one video only

last but not least, time to export the gif. export settings can also help improve the quality of your gifs. when i first started, i researched a lot on what export settings were the best. i have tried pattern before but im not a big fan of it. i use selective + diffusion. if you want more info on export settings, i suggest this post (this is what i used when i started)

after all that is done, upload to tumblr dot com and hope for the best

i hope this helped you out in some way 💖

What is a Blog? – The Definition of Blog, Blogging, and Blogger

(Published on: April 8th, 2018 Last updated: July 29th, 2020)

Do you know what a blog is? If you don’t, then you’ve come to the right place. In 1994, when blogs began, a blog was more of a personal diary that people shared online. In this online journal, you could talk about your daily life or share about things that you were doing. Then, people saw an opportunity to communicate information in a new way online. Thus began the beautiful world of blogging.

Table of contents

Today, there are more than 600 million blogs on the web. The number of bloggers in the United States alone is set to reach 31.7 million users by 2020.

What is a Blog?

Definition of blog

A blog (a shortened version of “weblog”) is an online journal or informational website displaying information in the reverse chronological order, with the latest posts appearing first, at the top. It is a platform where a writer or a group of writers share their views on an individual subject.

What is the purpose of a blog?

There are many reasons to start a blog for personal use and only a handful of strong ones for business blogging. Blogging for business, projects, or anything else that might bring you money has a very straightforward purpose – to rank your website higher in Google SERPs, a.k.a. increase your visibility.

As a business, you rely on consumers to keep buying your products and services. As a new business, you rely on blogging to help you get to potential consumers and grab their attention. Without blogging, your website would remain invisible, whereas running a blog makes you searchable and competitive.

So, the main purpose of a blog is to connect you to the relevant audience. Another one is to boost your traffic and send quality leads to your website.

The more frequent and better your blog posts are, the higher the chances for your website to get discovered and visited by your target audience. This means that a blog is an effective lead generation tool. Add a great call to action (CTA) to your content, and it will convert your website traffic into high-quality leads. A blog also allows you to showcase your niche authority and build a brand.

When you use your niche knowledge for creating informative and engaging posts, it builds trust with your audience. Great blogging makes your business look more credible, which is especially important if your brand is still young and fairly unknown. It ensures presence online and niche authority at the same time.

Blog structure

The appearance of blogs has changed over time, and these days blogs include a wide variety of items and widgets. However, most blogs still include some standard features and structure.

Here are common features that a typical blog will include:

Header with the menu or navigation bar.

Main content area with highlighted or latest blog posts.

Sidebar with social profiles, favorite content, or call-to-action.

Footer with relevant links like a disclaimer, privacy policy, contact page, etc.

The above example is the basic structure of the average blog. Each item has its own importance and helps visitors to navigate through your blog.

Blogs and websites

Many people still wonder if there is any difference between a blog and a website. What is a blog and what is a website? It’s even more challenging to differentiate between the two today. Many companies are integrating blogs into their websites as well, which further confuses the two.

What differentiates blogs from websites?

Blogs need frequent updates. Good examples of this include a food blog sharing meal recipes or a company writing about their industry news.

Blogs also promote reader engagement. Readers have a chance to comment and voice their different concerns and thoughts to the community. Blog owners update their site with new blog posts on a regular basis.

On the other hand, websites consist of the content presented on static pages. Static website owners rarely update their pages.

Read more: How to Make a Website (in 2020): The Beginner’s Guide

Key elements that identify a blog post from a static website page include a publishing date, author reference, categories, and tags within a byline. While not all blog posts have all of those byline elements, static website pages do not have any of these items. From a visitor perspective, the content on a static site will not change from one visit to the next. However, depending on the blog owner’s publishing schedule, the content on a blog will offer something new each day, week, or month.

What is blogging?

In the early 2000s, blogging emerged in a variety of forms when several political blogs were born. Blogs with how-to manuals also began to appear. Established institutions began to note the difference between journalism and blogging.

Definition of blogging

Blogging is a collection of skills that one needs to run and supervise a blog. This entails equipping a web page with tools to make the process of writing, posting, linking, and sharing content easier on the internet.

Why is blogging so popular?

It’s important to mention that the popularity of blogging grows with each passing day! To answer the question ‘what is blogging’, we need to look at the factors behind its rise.

In the early stages, blogs became mainstream, as news services began using them as tools for outreach and opinion forming. They became a new source of information.

Through blogging, businesses saw a positive way to improve their customer’s level of satisfaction. Blogs assist companies in keeping clients and customers up to date. Also, the more people that visit your blog, the more exposure and trust your brand gets.

Personal and niche bloggers saw the potential to reach more people interested in specific topics. Through a blog, visitors can comment and interact with you or your brand which helps you to create a network of loyal followers.

Did you know that you could earn money through blogging? Once your blog receives enough attention and fans, you can investigate ways of monetizing your blog. Through the blog, you can offer your services and sell products.

Who is a blogger?

In recent times, bloggers have become famous for various reasons. Blogging has become an alternative career or side gig to many. Seeing this, even more people are choosing to join the blogging ranks.

So who are bloggers? Bloggers are individuals who love sharing parts of their lives with you. They post on various topics from arts, home designs, carpentry, and finance articles. Bloggers are mobile and don’t need to be in one place. They live on the internet!

Definition of a blogger

A blogger is someone who runs and controls a blog. He or she shares his or her opinion and knowledge on different topics for a target audience.

Why are many people blogging today?

Would you want to have a blog of your own? Yes!

Most people today are creating blogs for a variety of reasons. Every human being has their own story to tell. Through the internet, bloggers can communicate to a massive number of people.

Why is blogging so popular?

Blogs allow you to talk about any topic you are interested in and express your opinion. You’ll find some bloggers writing on every activity that took place during their day. These activities may range from small things like waking up to major issues like human rights and climate change! Remember that as a blogger running your own blog, you need to focus on the topics that you are passionate about and through that focus strive to become one of the best blogs on the web.

Are bloggers getting paid?

Bloggers do earn money, but this is not a get-rich-quick kind of profession. Before you can start monetizing your blog, you need to build both your Google SERPs ranking and your niche influence. Those tasks take a lot of time and quality content. Money-making opportunities won’t present themselves until you’ve gained some credibility in the field. So, get down to business.

Here’s how you can make good money as a top-ranked niche blogger:

Selling ad space on your blog privately or via Google AdSense.

Becoming an affiliate partner privately or through ad networks.

Selling your own digital products such as eBooks and tutorials.

Selling memberships for access to exclusive content or advice.

Using your blog as a content marketing tool for your business.

If you’re starting a blog as a way to market and boost your existing business, you probably won’t be selling ad space or memberships. However, you can create and start offering exclusive digital products such as eBooks, guides, or online courses as a lead capturing tool in exchange for visitors’ email addresses. That way, you’ll nudge them one step further down your sales funnel.

Want to start a blog on your own?

Creating your own personal blog takes a few steps. First, you need to decide on a name for your blog, also called a domain name. Then, you need to choose the best blogging platform for your needs. We recommend going with a self-hosted platform. There are a few choices when it comes to self-hosted platforms, but the most popular is WordPress.org.

The next step is to choose a web hosting service. For new bloggers, we strongly recommend Bluehost, a company that powers over 2 million websites worldwide. You will get a Free domain name when you sign up with them and if you don’t like their services, they offer a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Disclosure: FirstSiteGuide is supported by our readers. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. We test and try all the products that we recommend.

Recommended tool:

Type in the desired domain in the “new domain” box and BlueHost will show you whether it’s available or not. If not, it will provide you with a list of similar names for you to choose from.

Conclusion

We hope that you’ve learned some helpful information about the world of blogging. If you’ve managed to start a blog, then your next step is to work on your blog content in order to keep your future readers satisfied and engaged.

Hi Anya. I really like the way you explain how to start a blog on your website firstsiteguide. In particular, the pictures of the basic blog structure. I wanted to get your permission to use it in my class as I am a teacher, developing a unit on how to start a blog for my grade 6 students. It would be part of their year 6 English curriculum.

Anya SkrbaJuly 28, 2020 at 9:08 amReply

Hi Terrence, it’s not a problem at all. A simple credit would be appreciated. Thanks!

Outstanding post. Well done Anya! And I couldn’t agree more with Bluehost, and then simply install WordPress as the site builder. In fact, over the years I have eventually moved all my domains to Bluehost. I have also started using the Gutenberg Blocks Editor plugin for WordPress. Works really well to make your content more understandable to both readers and search engines. And seeing that user experience along with site load speed are major SEO ranking factors? The Gutenberg WP Blocks Editor really contribute hugely to user experience.

Nice post and I really appreciate your hard work. Blog commenting is also the best medium to share our views. Nice article you have shared.

Glad you can reply to me, I am very happy, your website design is very beautiful, I like it very much!

I was so happy to finally have my blog published then decided to take it down. My big mistake I didn’t do a lot of research. I used wix and found out they don’t have a working comment feature that will not allow visitors to log in. I’m late for 14days for full refund so I was charged for full year tried to ask for partial refund got denied. Wix is easy to use but stay away from them. I’m trying to learn how to use wordpress coz last time I made website was during college years

Anya SkrbaJanuary 10, 2020 at 2:22 pmReply

Thanks for your comment Tess. Let me know if you need any help with WordPress. All the best with your blogging journey!

BillDecember 1, 2019 at 12:15 pmReply

Hi Notizie,

Self-hosted platforms allow you to run a blog using your own domain. Aside from following your domain registrar and web hosting company’s rules, you’re fully in charge of your blog and its contents. You have a number of choices when it comes to self-hosted systems (also called a Content Management System or CMS). The most popular is WordPress.org.

Start with using a spell checker and a grammar checker.

Time + good content + honesty + a fresh attitude = a readable blog.

Start where you are. Write every day, find someone to edit your stuff.

The sooner you start, the quicker you fail and failures is where we learn about successes.

Hi! I have been wanting to start a blog. My roadblocks are being afraid of failure as I know I need to constantly create new content, but I guess my question is how often? (every day? once a week?) and I also need a niche. I would like a lifestyle blog that I can blog about being a military wife with a job and everything that is going on in my life etc, which can include almost everything. But I don’t want to seem too scattered at the same time. I would also want to create new content that is engaging! help! 🙂

Anya SkrbaAugust 23, 2019 at 9:23 amReply

Hey Sarah,

I think it’s great that you want to start a blog! I like the idea of a lifestyle blog – we have a great guide that can lead you through the entire process of starting a lifestyle blog (with a few great examples of lifestyle blogs you can find inspiration from)! Or we can do it for you for free – if you’re interested in that write to use at [email protected]

Regarding your question about content creation – you need to know that this is going to be YOUR blog, which means YOU decide how much content you want to publish and what kind of content you’re going to create! Your first post should be about you – give your future readers a little introduction about yourself, your idea behind the blog, etc and later you can let the story leads you further. Experiment a bit, write about different things that you find to be valuable for sharing. In the beginning, you don’t have to have a content publishing schedule – whenever you feel like writing do it and press publish. Just feel free to practice – it’s your first time being a blogger, the world of blogging is a new thing for you and making mistakes is just fine! No blogger started without making mistakes and no blogger exists without making mistakes because you learn from them 🙂

Your blog is YOUR online space – you have total freedom on doing whatever you wish with it and from all of us here at FirstSiteGuide you have full support! 🙂

Goodluck with your blog Sarah, and if you need any help we’re always here for you!

PS. see blogs of other military wives like The Frugal Navy Wife, The Military Wife and Mom, Army Wife 101, etc

This was a fantastic blog. A lot of very good information given, I had no idea what a blog was or how to start one. I will definitely use this information in the very near future. I have saved this link and will return in a couple of months, when I need to build my first blog. Thank you for the information.

Hi, Thank you for the useful tips on how to start a blog. I especially agree with the sentence, “Every human being has its story to tell”. Blogging is a lot of work but what a great way to record your story and share with others. Thank you for sharing!

Great post, blogging is hard. We run a travel blog and I think the most important thing we tell people is to travel with a purpose, Do not just wander around the world aimlessly. So many travel blogs do not really have a purpose or a niche. Niche is key and many miss out on that because they want to cover and do it all. Do not just start a blog because you think you will get rich quick and be able to travel the world. It takes a lot of work and lots of time.

it is a very useful article……now I’m gonna create a blog.

The coronavirus outbreak is taking over headlines. Due to the spread of COVID-19, remote work is suddenly an overnight requirement for many. You might be working from home as you are reading this article. With millions working from home for many weeks now, we should seize this opportunity to improve our skills in the domain we are focusing on. Here is my strategy to learn Data Science while working from home with few personal real life projects. "So what should we do?" "Where should we start learning?" Grab your coffee as I explain the process of how you can learn data science sitting at home. This blog is for everyone, from beginners to professionals. Photo by Nick Morrison on Unsplash Prerequisites To start this journey, you will need to cover the prerequisites. No matter which specific field you are in, you will need to learn the following prerequisites for data science. Logic/Algorithms: It’s important to know why we need a particular prerequisite before learning it. Algorithms are basically a set of instructions given to a computer to make it do a specific task. Machine learning is built from various complex algorithms. So you need to understand how algorithms and logic work on a basic level before jumping into complex algorithms needed for machine learning. If you are able to write the logic for any given puzzle with the proper steps, it will be easy for you to understand how these algorithms work and you can write one for yourself. Resources: Some awesome free resources to learn data structures and algorithms in depth. Statistics: Statistics is a collection of tools that you can use to get answers to important questions about data. Machine learning and statistics are two tightly related fields of study. So much so that statisticians refer to machine learning as “applied statistics” or “statistical learning”. Image source : http://me.me/ The following topics should be covered by aspiring data scientists before they start machine learning. Measures of Central Tendency — mean, median, mode, etc Measures of Variability — variance, standard deviation, z-score, etc Probability — probability density function, conditional probability, etc Accuracy — true positive, false positive, sensitivity, etc Hypothesis Testing and Statistical Significance — p-value, null hypothesis, etc Resources: Learn college level statistics in this free 8 hour course. Business: This depends on which domain you want to focus on. It basically involves understanding the particular domain and getting domain expertise before you get into a data science project. This is important as it helps in defining our problem accurately. Resources: Data science for business Brush up your basics This sounds pretty easy but we tend to forget some important basic concepts. It gets difficult to learn more complex concepts and the latest technologies in a specific domain without having a solid foundation in the basics. Here are few concepts you can start revising: Python programming language Python is widely used in data science. Check out this collection of great Python tutorials and these helpful code samples to get started. Image source : memecrunch.com You can also check out this Python3 Cheatsheet that will help you learn new syntax that was released in python3. It'll also help you brush up on basic syntax.

You can start learning BeautifulSoup4 which helps you scrape websites and make your own datasets. Advance Tip: You can automate browsers and get data from interactive web pages such as Firebase using Selenium. It is useful for automating web applications and automating boring web based administration Resources: Web Scraping 101 in Python Cloud servers If your data is stored on cloud servers such as S3, you might need to get familiar with how to get data from there. The following link will help you understand how to implement them using Amazon S3. Resources : Getting started with Amazon S3, How to deploy your site or app to AWS S3 with CloudFront APIs There are millions of websites that provide data through APIs such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. So it is important to learn how they are used and have a good idea on how they are implemented. Resources : What is an API? In English, please, How to build a JSON API with Python, and Getting started with Python API. Data Preprocessing This topic includes everything from data cleaning to feature engineering. It takes a lot of time and effort. So we need to dedicate a lot of time to actually learn it. Image source : https://www.pinterest.com/pin/293648838181843463/ Data cleaning involves different techniques based on the problem and data type. The data needs to be cleaned from irrelevant data, syntax erros, data inconsistencies and missing data. The following guide will get you started with data cleaning. Resources : Ultimate guide to data cleaning Data Preprocessing is an important step in which the data gets transformed, or encoded, so that the machine can easily parse it. It requires time as well as effort to preprocess different types of data which include numerical, textual and image data.

Hackathons: Image Source : https://me.me/ Now we need to implement these algorithms on a competitive level. You can start looking for online Data Science Hackathons. Here is the list of websites where I try to compete with other data scientists. Analytics Vidhya — https://datahack.analyticsvidhya.com/contest/all/ Kaggle — https://www.kaggle.com/competitions Hackerearth — https://www.hackerearth.com/challenges/ MachineHack — https://www.machinehack.com/ TechGig — https://www.techgig.com/challenge Dare2compete — https://dare2compete.com/e/competitions/latest Crowdanalytix — https://www.crowdanalytix.com/community To have a look at a winning solution, here is a link to my winning solution to one online Hackathon on Analytics Vidhya — https://github.com/Sid11/AnalyticsVidhya_DataSupremacy Projects: We see people working on dummy data and still don’t get the taste of how actual data looks like. In my opinion, working on real life data gives you a very clear idea how data in real life looks like. The amount of time and effort required in cleaning real life data takes about 70% of your project’s time. Here are the best free open data sources anyone can use Open Government Data — https://data.gov.in/ Data about real contributed by thousands of users and organizations across the world — https://data.world/datasets/real 19 public datasets for Data Science Project — https://www.springboard.com/blog/free-public-data-sets-data-science-project/ Business Intelligence After you get the results from your project, it is now time to make business decisions from those results. Business Intelligence is a suite of software and services that helps transform data into actionable intelligence and knowledge. This can be done by creating a dashboard from the output of our model. Tableau is a powerful and the fastest growing data visualization tool used in the Business Intelligence Industry. It helps in simplifying raw data into the very easily understandable format. Data analysis is very fast with Tableau and the visualizations created are in the form of dashboards and worksheets.

Are you new to affiliate marketing and want to learn how to tap into this billion-dollar industry? In this tutorial, you’ll learn how you can get started with affiliate marketing today (without the hype). Subscribe ► https://www.youtube.com/AhrefsCom?sub_confirmation=1 *************************************** Additional Affiliate Marketing Resources SEO For Beginners: A Basic Search Engine Optimization Tutorial for Higher Google Rankings ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvwS7cV9GmQ&list=PLvJ_dXFSpd2uHtGoHf8K06ebr-TIrgM0G&index=2 How to Write a Blog Post That Actually Gets Traffic ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kOT39l0omU How to Do Keyword Research for a NEW Website (Complete Tutorial) ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5IJ0APR0EQ Link Building for a New Website: 5 Actionable Ways to Get More Backlinks ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sF-m5LKCf4 *************************************** If you’re a beginner to affiliate marketing, it’s easy to get consumed with the idea of making money online. When this happens, you might be tempted to look at unsustainable ways to run a quick side hustle. This is the wrong way to approach affiliate marketing. Here’s why. Business Insider found that around 15% of the digital media industry's revenue comes from affiliate marketing. But that report was published in 2016, and today, affiliate marketing has become even more popular. This means that it’s possible to build a sustainable business with affiliate marketing. In fact, it’s possible to build a multi-million dollar affiliate website that you’re proud of. And that’s exactly what this tutorial will help you do. So, what exactly is affiliate marketing and how does it work? Affiliate marketing is when you promote other people’s or companies’ products. When someone makes a purchase through your affiliate link, you’re compensated with a commission. To know you’re the person who sent them the sale, the merchant uses a unique link. When a visitor clicks that link from your website, blog, or wherever, a small file called a cookie is stored on their device. An affiliate cookie does two things: ► It helps the merchant attribute the sale back to the right person; ► It (usually) holds an expiration date. This means a person that clicks through via your link doesn’t have to immediately purchase the product. You’ll see an example of how this works in the video. So how much money can you make as an affiliate marketer? The simple answer to that is that there is no limit. There are reports from affiliate marketers who are making over 6-figures a month in affiliate commissions. You’ll see some examples of these reports in the video. With those questions answered, let’s go over the things you’ll need to get started with affiliate marketing. First, you’ll need a platform where you can use affiliate links. You’ll find out which platforms you can choose from in the video. Next, you’ll need to choose a niche. When you’re choosing a niche, remember you’re choosing a niche, not an industry. You’ll learn some tips on how to find a profitable niche in the tutorial. Thirdly, finding affiliate programs to join. There are lots of popular affiliate networks like Amazon Associates, Commission Junction and ClickBank. However, these aren’t the only affiliate networks out there. You’ll learn proven ways to find high converting affiliate programs and those with high sales volume. You’ll also learn the three models of affiliate programs that are available as well as each of their pros and cons. Now that we’ve gotten the fundamentals of affiliate marketing down, here’s a basic formula to actually make money from your affiliate marketing site. Traffic + clicks + conversions = revenue In the video, you’ll learn how to optimize the different aspects of the formula to help you get more affiliate revenue to your site. Finally, the last piece of advice is to experiment. Don’t expect perfection or a life-changing income that happens overnight. It doesn’t happen that way, otherwise, we’d all be billionaires. Focus on making that FIRST affiliate sale. And as your site grows, set new reachable goals rather than settling for a one-off hustle. #affiliatemarketing #affiliatemarketingforbeginners #affiliatemarketingtutorial Be sure to subscribe for more actionable marketing and SEO tutorials. https://www.youtube.com/AhrefsCom?sub_confirmation=1 STAY TUNED: Ahrefs ► https://ahrefs.com/ YouTube ► https://www.youtube.com/AhrefsCom?sub_confirmation=1 Facebook ►https://ift.tt/1ghgAkr Twitter ►https://twitter.com/ahrefs Related Posts Search Engine Optimization Techniques Video Tutorial 2018 Seo Tutorial For Beginners Step By Step Video 2018 Seo Tutorial Video In Hindi 2018 View on YouTube via Blogger https://ift.tt/2QYogEC #blogger #bloggingtips #bloggerlife #bloggersgetsocial #ontheblog #writersofinstagram #writingprompt #instapoetry #writerscommunity #writersofig #writersblock #writerlife #writtenword #instawriters #spilledink #wordgasm #creativewriting #poetsofinstagram #blackoutpoetry #poetsofig

What is a Blog? – The Definition of Blog, Blogging, and Blogger..

Do you know what blogs are? If you don’t, then you’ve come to the right place. In the beginning, a blog was more of a personal diary that people shared online, and it goes back to 1994. In this online journal, you could talk about your daily life or share things you do. But, people saw an opportunity to communicate any information in a new way. So began the beautiful world of blogging.

What is a Blog?

Definition of blog

A blog (shortening of “weblog”) is an online journal or informational website displaying information in the reverse chronological order, with the latest posts appearing first. It is a platform where a writer or even a group of writers share their views on an individual subject.

What is the purpose of a blog?

As a business, you rely on consumers to keep buying your products and services. As a new business, you rely on blogging to help you get to these consumers and grab their attention. Without blogging, your website would remain invisible, whereas running a blog makes you searchable and competitive.

So, the main purpose of a blog is to connect you to the relevant audience. Another one is to boost your traffic and send quality leads to your website.

The more frequent and better your blog posts are, the higher the chances for your website to get discovered and visited by your target audience. Which means, a blog is an effective lead generation tool. Add a great call to action (CTA), and it will convert your website traffic into high-quality leads. But a blog also allows you to showcase your authority and build a brand.

When you use your niche knowledge for creating informative and engaging posts, it builds trust with your audience. Great blogging makes your business looks more credible, which is especially important if your brand is still young and fairly unknown. It ensures presence and authority at the same time.

Blog structure

The appearance of blogs changed over time, and nowadays blogs include different items. But, most blogs include some standard features and structure. Here are common features that a typical blog will include:

Header with the menu or navigation bar

Main content area with highlighted or latest blog posts

Sidebar with social profiles, favorite content, or call-to-action

Footer with relevant links like a disclaimer, privacy policy, contact page, etc.

Feel free to use this template on your site

The above example is the basic structure of the blog. Each item has its own importance and helps visitors to navigate through your blog.

Blogs and websites

What differentiates blogs from websites?

Blogs need frequent updates. Good examples include a food blog sharing meal recipes or a company writing about their industry news.

Blogs promote perfect reader engagement. Readers get a chance to comment and voice their different concerns to the viewer. Static websites, on the other hand, consists of the content presented on static pages. Static website owners rarely update their pages. Blog owners update their site with new blog posts on a regular basis.

Key elements that identify a blog post from a static page include a publishing date, author reference, categories, and tags within a byline. While not all blog posts have all those byline elements, static website pages do not have any of these items. From a visitor perspective, the content on a static site will not change from one visit to the next. The content on a blog, yet, has the potential to offer something new each day, week, or month. Depending on the blog owner’s publishing schedule.
