The Four Step Answer To The Question How Do I Create A Blog?

By:

You may sometimes feel, with the way your online business is going, that you are destined to fail at earning money on the Internet, but here’s a secret: if you can keep a journal, you can keep a blog.

And if you can keep a blog, you can use it make money on the Internet. Many very successful online entrepreneurs have made a science of understanding the attractions and limitations of blogs, and using them to promote their businesses.

So if you’ve ever wondered,”How do I create a blog?” the answer can be broken down into a few simple steps. Believe it or not, with a little practice you’ll be able to get a fully functioning blog set up in about thirty minutes, thanks to sites like http://Wordpress.org.

The first thing you’ll have to ask yourself is whether or not you want to pay to have your blog hosted. I love the idea of anything that’s both free and useful, but sometimes those who give also take away, and that can happen if you go with a free blog hosting site.

You may not realize that when you use a free blog hosting site you really surrender you ownership of your blog, and you could easily wake up one morning to find it has disappeared. You don’t want to go from asking oeHow do I create a blog?” to asking oeHow do I hang on to the blog I created?”

One huge bonus of paying a little to have your blog hosted is that you will be immune from spam complaints in case someone selling the same thing your blog is promoting decides to get nasty.

One approach I like is to start with a free blog, and I recommend WordPress, so that you can get into the habit of posting each day, hone your writing style, and learn how to add graphics and links to your blog entries. If you are still enthusiastic about your blog after one or two months, pony up for an inexpensive web hosting service.

Second, when you are ready to move to a paid webhost, I advise you to go with a Cpanel based web hosting plan featuring Fantastico. C-Panel is short for the control panel that you’ll use to administer your blog site, and Fantastico is s C-panel add-on which will automate your blog script installation. Nothing could be easier!

Your third task is to register your blog with a domain name. You won’t get any traffic to your blog unless you have an actual domain name where people can find you, and I like the using http://hwinc.com for my blog sites.

I’ve found they do not raise your registration fee, unlike some domain registrars that have terrific, but temporary, introductory prices. To avoid unpleasant surprises you should check in advance and find out how long your initial charge is going to last. Make sure you pick a domain name which will reflect the contents of your blog!

Finally, you can find some terrific answers to your question oeHow do I create a blog?” by taking advantage of the http://Blogtactics.com tutorial videos. A good blog tutorial video can teach you much more in a lot less time than having to pore over pages of instructions.
