Do you want your own blog where you keep 100% of the money?
Want a money making blog with Google ads so you can make money too?
Are you just a regular person who doesn’t know how to build websites?
I can help you for free. No circles. Here it is.
First of all you will need a domain name. A domain name is what you type in to get to a website. For example, you type Google.com to get to the Google website. A domain name is very important because it identifies your website. The best domain names are short, simple, easy to spell, catchy, and .com. Obviously these are very hard to come by nowadays, but if you need help, let me know and I will help you with that.
To purchase a domain name, you will need to go to a domain name registrar. I recommend Namecheap.com for this as they have good prices, offer free privacy protection (no one can see who owns the website), and have a great reputation. One .com for a domain for a year costs roughly $9.oo. You can usually find some promo/discount code in a Yahoo or Google search for $1 off pretty easily.
Next, you will need a host server. Host servers are what allows your site to be up on the Internet. I recommend Hostmonster.com. Hostmonster has a 24/7 chat feature where they will help you and any time of day. They have a good reputation, their interface is easy to use, tons of features, you can have virtually unlimited domain names, and you can receive promotions such as a free $30 google coupon. Before you purchase this information, go to Hostingplanrebates.com. They will give you a $50 rebate for signing up with Hostmonster or another hoster. The best deal for you is signing up for 2 years. That will make it $5.95/month, but the charge is upfront which for one year is $120 if I remember correctly. I’d recommend the two year plan if you plan on having a website for more than a year.
By the way, this is all stuff I have done personally. It really works.
Ok so now you have purchased your website maker. Right now, you are potentially 10 minutes away from launching your website.
First, you need to transfer the DNS servers on your domain name at Namecheap. Simply, login to the site and go to manage your domains and change the “DNS servers” to ns1.hostmonster.com and ns2.hostmonster.com if you signed up for Hostmonster. What this does is point your domain to your Hostmonster server so you can start managing it through Hostmonter. You will probably want to “lock” the domain after you are done.
Now you are ready to create your own blog. Login to Hostmonster.
You will come to your control panel.
You will need to first add your domain. This is pretty simple as there is a button on the top for “add domain.” Next, the form will ask you to name the folder of this domain. Call it your domain name without the .com.
Continuing, there is an application called Fantastico. This has all sorts of website tools like forums, templates, etc. You need Wordpress. Wordpress is the very format used for this blog. Install Wordpress to your domain name and so that your blog is your homepage, do not put anything in the field that asks you if you want to create a folder for the domain.
Finally you will have your basic website template from wordpress up and you are ready to type in your very own blog.
To have Google ads, you will need to sign up for Google Adsense and then implement the Google codes into your Wordpress html.
I will continue this blog later and explain some of these details. If you have questions, feel free to leave a comment or email me.
You are very close to having your own money making blog.
