I'm Starting a New Blog

Hey everyone! I've decided to start a new blog to allow my readers to keep up with my progress. I'll be using this blog as sort of a journal, and I'll try to write down each step along the way. I hope that by following along, you can learn the methods that I use to make money blogging.

So far, all I've done is register a new domain and set up Wordpress on it. I recommend the Wordpress platform because its extremely easy to use, and it comes with amazing SEO built right in. (SEO means Search Engine Optimization, and we will cover that later.)

To get your own Domain with Wordpress installed, use the link below. Hostgator has probably the lowest prices in the industry, and they have over 99% uptime, so you'll never have any maintenance problems.



If you need any help setting up your hosting, just ask HostGator. They will help set everything up for you.

I also registered a new domain name. A domain is the ".com" that you see in the address bar. I picked one that was related to my product, and I suggest you do the same. For example, if you are going to blogging about "green widgets", then you should try to register "green-widgets-blog.com" or "find-green-widgets.com".

 Feel free to use other TLD's such as ".net" or ".org", but I wouldn't recommend buying a domain with an extension other than those 3.

Once I got my hosting and domain setup, and get WordPress installed on my domain, I started writing. Just write a couple of posts about your product and publish them so that your blog has some good content. Remember, "Content Is King". Your blog simply must have good content if you ever plan on making money with your blog.
