Are you wondering “How to have a blog?”
January 29, 2009 – 6:52 pmBlogging is more popular than ever, and it can be a great way to make some extra money - or a significant income. (just ask ProBlogger Darren Rowse.) Many people want a blog, but setting up a WordPress blog (just like the pro’s use) can be a mystery if you’re just getting started. Because they don’t know how to set up a WordPress blog, many new bloggers are forced to blog on platforms like Blogger, that just don’t have that cool factor and sense of being a real blog.
Wait, what about WordPress.com? WordPress.com blogs are basically the same as Blogger - you’ll never have full control and your blog address will be something like myblog.wordpress.com. See, WordPress makes it confusing by having two options, the “easy but cheesy” way and…
The Best Way To Have A Blog
What you want is a WordPress.org blog that is hosted by you, with your own domain name and 100% control over the content and advertising.
Yes, you do have to pay for the hosting. Hosting is very inexpensive and is worth it to have your own online “property” that you fully control and can even sell one day, if you wish.
Since I have been blogging for a few years now and have over 50 websites, most of them WordPress blogs, I have set up quite a few WordPress blogs and I’ll set up a WordPress blog for you, too, for free.
Free? Yes, free.
All you have to do is sign up with Hostgator through the link below. You also have to be a new Hostgator customer.
Hostgator is the best hosting at the lowest price from a top notch company. It won’t cost you much, and then I’ll set the blog up for you. I get paid because I referred you to Hostgator, so I can afford to do the blog set-up for free. I could have this arrangement with lots of other hosting companies but I only recommend Hostgator because they’re the best I’ve ever used. And I’m from Florida, I like gators.
If you already have a domain name, great. Enter it when prompted. If you don’t have a domain name you can get one as part of the sign-up process. Make sure to get Linux hosting, and pick either Baby or Hatchling as your plan. You can always upgrade down the road.
