Domain market have come to invade bloggers. Short and English word domain name with high traffic are sold at a high price. Since good blogs generates heavy traffic, domain marketeers buy blogs for a decent amount of money.
There have been some notable blog sales, and one of the primary way of evaluating the price of [...]
I encourage every blogger writing on popular blogging sites, free or paid, to make a blog that not only could make you money, but could make your blogging experience a success.
People think they have to spend thousands of dollars and weeks of development time to have a functional web blog. But this is an outdated way to think about it. These days, there are a variety of content-management tools available to simplify website creation and management. WordPress is one of those tools. Yes, WordPress, the blogging system. You can create a highly functional, easy-to-manage web blog using only WordPress and a just bit of technical skills.
For the the past three years, I follow this step-by-step approach every time I create a blog from scratch.
The domain registry costs around $10 per year, and the hosting will cost you between $7 to $ 100 per year, depending on the web hosting options. Add the two and that’s the total cost for web domain and web hosting for one year of blogging. Popular domain registrars like GoDaddy, and 1and1 can give you this in about one hour. So far, the fastest domain registration I had was when I bought at Dynadot, my domain is up the soon as I checked out.
If you don’t have the money to shell out that much, you can opt for free web hosting services. Be reminded though, read reviews and pick the one that you think suites you.
This sounds complicated, but it’s a five-minute operation. If you don’t know how to do it, I’m sure your web host has a quick and easy guide for it. Normally, you need to go to the database section of the hosting control panel, select create, and then give it a name and password.
In case you’re not aware, WordPress is free. Download the Wordpress files, open wp-config.php and insert the database name and password you created in the previous step, and then upload the entire WordPress files onto the web host.
Fourth step. Launch and Configure WordPress
When all the WordPress files are uploaded to the web host, you’re ready to run the installation process. Go to your web address (the domain) and follow the steps for installation.
Log in using your admin account and customize the appearance and behavior of your blog to your liking.
The most important part. The reason why you are doing this. Content. Start with a few pages of content telling your readers on what to expect on your blog.
Enjoy blogging!
