How to Start a Blog with Wix in 2024 (Complete Guide)

Want to launch a blog but don’t know coding? Wix makes it easy! In this guide, I’ll walk you through setting up a professional blog—from choosing a template to publishing your first post—in under 30 minutes.


Why Choose Wix for Blogging?

✅ No tech skills needed (drag-and-drop editor)
✅ Stunning templates (100+ blog-specific designs)
✅ Built-in SEO tools (help your posts rank on Google)
✅ Free plan available (upgrade later for a custom domain)

Let’s get started!

Step 1: Sign Up for Wix

  1. Go to Wix.com.

  2. Click “Get Started” and sign up (use Google, Facebook, or email).

  3. Select “Create a Website” (not Wix ADI for full control).

Step 2: Pick a Blog Template

  • Click “Blog” in the template categories.

  • Choose a design that fits your niche (e.g., “Minimal Blog” for writers, “Foodie” for recipes).

  • Hit “Edit” to customize.

💡 Pro Tip: Look for templates with “Blog” in the name—they’re pre-optimized for posts and categories.

Step 3: Customize Your Blog’s Design

  • Change fonts/colors: Go to Theme Manager (left sidebar).

  • Add a logo: Click “+” → “Logo” (or use Wix’s free logo maker).

  • Set up a menu: Link to “Home,” “Blog,” “About,” and “Contact” pages.

Step 4: Set Up Your Blog Page

  1. Click “Add” → “Blog” → “Add to Site.”

  2. Organize categories: Go to Blog Manager → Categories (e.g., “Travel,” “Recipes”).

  3. Enable comments: Settings → Blog → Toggle on “Comments.”

Step 5: Write Your First Blog Post

  1. In Blog Manager, click “Create New Post.”

  2. Add:

    • A catchy title (e.g., “How I Made $1,000 Blogging in Month 1”).

    • Featured image (use free sites like Unsplash).

    • SEO-friendly content (break it up with subheadings!).

  3. Click “Publish” when ready!

Step 6: Get a Custom Domain (Optional but Recommended)

  • Go to “Domains” in your dashboard.

  • Buy a new domain (e.g., YourName.com for $14/year) or connect an existing one.

🔥 Why this matters: A custom domain (e.g., MyAwesomeBlog.com) looks more professional than username.wixsite.com/blog.

Step 7: Optimize for SEO

  • Use Wix’s SEO Wiz (guides you step-by-step).

  • Add keywords to post titles and meta descriptions.

  • Link to other posts (internal linking boosts SEO).

Step 8: Monetize Your Blog (Make Money!)

Here’s how to turn your blog into income:

  • Google AdSense: Run ads (needs 30+ posts and traffic).

  • Affiliate marketing: Promote products (Amazon, ShareASale).

  • Sell digital products: E-books, courses, or printables (use Wix Stores).

Final Tips for Success

📌 Post consistently (aim for 1-2x/week).
📌 Share on Pinterest/Twitter to drive traffic.
📌 Reply to comments to build a community.
