How to Create Your Own Blog
So you have a website and you want to create a blog for it to get more visitors. Maybe you have an ecommerce site that you need to talk or blog about as part of your marketing strategy. Probably you just want to try and make money using your blog.
So how do you create your own blog?
This post will focus on the technical aspects of creating a blog on your own domain and hosting. Forget about those free blog platforms. They are hard to customize, not easy to monetize and don’t look very professional.
So here are what you need to do:
1. Get A Hosting.
A web hosting is where you will put all the files for your blog for the world to see. We recommend using Fatcow. You can get a discount from Fatcow by following the link below. You also get Unlimited Disk Space, Unlimited Bandwidth, and FREE Domain Name from them.
2. Install WordPress.
Most web hosting will have one-click installation for WordPress via Fantastico. If you signup with Fatcow above, you should have be able to install WordPress in a single click.
3. Start Blogging
There is no better time to start than today. Do not wait until you get every post “perfect”. Post a few before you go to the next step. This is the beauty of internet, you can change your product (or your blog post in this case) as many time as you want. This is not manufacturing some hardware where it needs to be perfect the first time it comes out the factory. Come back again and improve the post if you will, but don’t delay.
4. Tell the world
This is where you need to advertise a little about your blog. You can try Pay-Per-Click (PPC) marketing if you want people to find your blog fast. You can get free credits at Yahoo Search Engine Marketing by following the link below.
Have fun blogging and money making.
