I'm not a big fan of the typical 10 tips for, 10 mistakes that, etc. posts, because most of them only seek to gain exposure (I'd like to see the data regarding conversions, visit times, bounce rate, etc. etc.) and the advice doesn't add much value. But hey, I'm sure more than one person will find them useful, so I won't go on about it.
But it is true that you can find interesting things in some of them in the form of advice, useful websites, applications, etc. That's why I'm going to try to make a short and as useful as possible list of advice for beginner bloggers or people who are thinking of creating one.

The first thing is to break that mental barrier that we all have before starting.
You must start by having a clear idea (it doesn't have to be 100% defined) of the topic you want to write about. Once you have that, stop thinking about it and start now.

There are many bloggers who write every day. In my opinion (purely logically, not from personal experience), it's impossible to maintain the level of quality day after day.
Writing every day has the benefit of staying in the ' top of mind ' of your readers, but the problem is whether you do it with the positioning you want (type of content and quality, and therefore type of audience), and if this is going to help you achieve your goals.
Especially at the beginning, I recommend laying the foundations of your blog with posts that deal with topics in depth. Write 4-5 posts of what we call 'depth charges', combined with shorter posts.
As time goes by, you will discover your style.
