There are a free options to setting up blogs and you can do this using WordPress. WordPress is the best blogging platform in the world and comes with it’s own content management system.
It is not rocket science folks, getting a website or in particular a blog is very easy, you just need to sort out 3 main fundamentals and that is, domain name, hosting and installation of your blog. Just prior to doing all this you may want to do keyword research to find what niche best suits you and the domain name you want with the correct keywords you want to target, so therefore I suggest you use Market Samurai first. Then once you’re ready you should get started!
5 Easy Steps To Create A Blog
1. Godaddy – Buy your domain name (normally costs between $7.50- $10)
2. Hosting – I suggest you go with the most reliable hosting company around which is Hostgator and you can get started using the Hostgator Coupon Codes (the cost is just $0.01 cent for the first month trial)
3. WordPress – (Install WordPress it is free) In your hosting account in the cpanel area there is a fantastico icon. When you click this icon you can see the WordPress install link and if you click on that link you can have WordPress installed in minutes. After you have installed it I suggest using a custom design theme using Woothemes
4. After you have your blog set up I recommend you install a few plugins like the retweet button and Facebook share button which are totally free plugins. For a small investment I highly recommend you install the Keyword Winner plugin which will help you optimize your titles in so your pages rank well in Google.
5. Last but not least I highly recommend you get a newsletter program set up and a subscribe form which will help build your email list this is something that is vitally important when starting a blog. This can all be done through Aweber. Make sure you click here for the $1 free trial for the first 30 days.
Once you have all these 5 things put in place you can easily make money with your blog as long as you put in all the right modules and plugins and build a community to drive the traffic then you can join affiliate programs and start adding campaigns on your blog for that niche.
And lastly what you will need to do is blog post regularly to get the most benefit to your readers and by doing so will get good traffic flow, usually no more then 1 hour a day is sufficient.
Lastly have fun while your doing it and good luck!
