Starting Your Blog: Part Two

Posted in Blogging for Profit at 10:48 pm by admin

So you’ve now thought of what to write about and are all set to make your millions, right? Not so fast. If you truly want to run a “professional” blog, you’ll want to stay clear from the public blogging websites. These include the blogger.coms, livejournal.coms, etc. There is absolutely nothing wrong with using these sites, but you want to find a way to stand out from the croud. Go buy a domain, they’re cheap and will give you a bit of an edge from the 30 million other blogs online.

The next step will be to setup hosting for your blog. I personally use Blue Host for a number of my sites and have found them to be excellent. A nice bonus is they come with a free domain name, and WordPress (which we’ll discuss next) is pre-installed and ready to go.

Now that you have a domain name registered for your site and have hosting set up there is only one setep left. I strongly recommend you install WordPress on your server for your blog. It’s extremely easy to get going with, especially with their famous 5-minute install.

That’s it. Start blogging already.
