Create the Actual Site
If you want your theatre blog to appear serious, you should have a paid hosting plan rather than a free one. A .com blog, for instance, seems more serious than a .wordpress.com one.

Engage Your Social Media
Once it is time for your blog to go live, your social media will play a massive part in making it successful. Promote it on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and all forums where theatre lovers frequent.
