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 [...]
Every time you go online, you visit some of the popular blogs that talks about your interests. Be it sports, technology, web development, entertainment, career or whatnot, you visit bloggers that knows what they write. When you read your mail, you receive a blog promotion that let’s you visit a blogs popular post. You heard people spreading the word that you actually could earn money just by blogging.
Now, you’ve heard so much about blogging and you want to blog, too.
Not too soon.
If you’re too amped up about blogging already and you want to join the bandwagon and start your own blog, be among the 112 million blogger, and growing, then there’s some few things you need to consider. The quickest things that comes to my mind that a start-up blogger needs to consider are domains, hosting service, blog platform, blog design, and some blog tools.
Domains. Bloggers build identity, it’s one of the main reason why you blog and people remember you for that. If you’re going to ask me how can you easily build an identity in the blogosphere then there’s no easier way than getting the right domain name. Actually, having the right domain name brings so much more than just identity. For example, depending on how good your domain name is, it could bring a certain amount of traffic without doing anything.
Now there’s a tricky part. Your desired domain name may be gone forever if you don’t act now. Valuable domain names, especially those short dot com names are already registered. So before everything else runs out, I suggest you register yours now.
If you have decided already on what domain name you want, you may want to register it on the following affordable and reliable registrars: GoDaddy, 1 and 1, Impressive Domains, Domains PH.
Hosting service. If you plan to be a serious blogger, I suggest you do away with free blogging sites like blogger and wordpres.com. It’s cool to be free, yes, but you won’t have the level of control you need and want. With free blogging sites, you’re limited to what they offer you. But by owning a personal web space, you are in total control. Just Host, Fat Cow, 1 and 1, and IX Web hosting are just some of the popular web hosting companies with affordable services. If you can’t shell out money yet, I can help you.
Blog platform. With more than half of the bloggers in the blogosphere using WordPress, you can’t go wrong if you decided to go with it. But if you want to think it over, take a look at this post – 3 Best Blogging Software.
Blog design. You don’t really need it when you’re just starting but if you have the money to spend, then by all means, have it personalized. A personalized blog design could only do you better. Identity. Identity. Identity.
