Building a blog architecture for SEO?

Hi Blackhat world,

I'd like to start my first blog, where I'll share educational content and sell wall art prints and affiliate products, but I'm not sure how to build the blog architecture. If you could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it if you could show me step by step how to create everything: pages, menus, and so on.
I don't want to utilize website templates; instead, I'd like to start from scratch and keep it simple, so if you could point me in the right direction, that would be great.
Please accept my profound thanks in advance.

Hello,

Well, for technical guidance you just need to search online, plenty of detailed guides there.

As for SEO perspective....

The key thing that will make or brake your success will be proper categorization of content and content plan in general.

I like to plan things out in advance before a single word is written. Niches, topics, keywords.

I highly recommend WordPress for content management.

If I were you I would start, by taking any SEO course of Udemy. It feels a waste of time, but it's better to initiate with a good head start.
Just take any that talks about SILO structure

And you will be fine to go.
