Why?

1. Search engines love blogs!
2. Easy to set up.
3. Once you set it up ( which is really easy) you will only have to write articles.
4. In blogs there is communication between the reader and the author.
5. And many many other things.

So here is  my step by step guide for starting your blog:

Below I will explain exactly what I did to start my blog:

1. Find a niche ( I know I didn’t explain how to do it but in next posts I will describe exactly how I do it)
2. Brainstorm ideas for the name of your blog
3. Buy a domain name, I bough mine from namecheap.com ( you can use a blogger.com or wordpress.com blog it doesn’t really matter but if you have a .com name it will look way more professional and easy to remember)
4. Find a good hosting, personally I use Hostgator.
5. If you have bought the domain name , I recommend you to use wordpress platform. Most hosting providers have Fantastico Autoinstaller so it will be an easy job for you.
6. Before starting to promote your site have atleast 4-5 published(so when people come to your site won’t see just one article and leave it but they will stay and see that you provide some good valuable info.) articles and 4-5 draft articles (that is because when you feel like not writing you can just publish them)
7. Write one article every day.

Ok so this are the exact steps for starting a blog. I hope it was helpful and if you liked it please feel free to check my other articles

Here are the steps:

1. Go to blogger.com create one or two blogs, write short article or part of an article and leave a link back to your website ( put your url in the end of the text preferably with anchor text)

2.Go to wordpress.com and make 2 blogs, the same process as blogger.com

2. Go to some forums that allow do follow ( i don’t have much time right now but I will explain what that is later) signature and make few posts.

3. Go to Digital Point Forums ( just google it). Make 10 posts, then put your url in your signature preferably in anchor text. After you have 15 posts ask(though I am not sure if you had right for that before being a member for 7 days) for a review of your website in the reviews section.This is also a good place of learning Internet marketing/ seo and a lot of other useful stuff so if you are new you should use it wisely.

4.You can make s0me squidoo/hub pages to increase the speed of the process even more.

Thats how i got indexed in less that one week . Somewhere I read that you can get indexed by google if you purchase a link from a PR6 domain though  I don’t think its a good idea, cus the big G is against link exchange/ and buying/selling links.

What is blog?

It comes from the term “Web Log” and it is a place where individuals (like me) write about different topics and give their opinion about it. In most cases entries are displayed in chronological order. In some forums I have seen that people define it as a online diary. In my opinion its not true as you can write about many topics and its not necessary to be a diary type.

What types of blogs are out there?

Personal blogs – in that case it can be a diary, cus the person who blogs most commonly writes about himself.

Business blogs- this types of blogs are most commonly held by corporations and they have a lot of writers who write about different topics every day.

Niche blogs – That type is very popular in the internet marketing today. Basically the author finds a profitable niche, finds a product to promote, posts article/makes review of the products and promotes his blog. In most cases after certain time he sells his blog and starts again. My blog is an example of a niche blog but in my case I actually love writing about making money online and I’m not planning to sell it. (In the next articles I will show you how to find and choose a profitable niche)

Should I start blogging?

Well it depends on you – do you like writing? Do you have some extra free time and don’t know what to do then? Do you want to earn some extra cash ? If your answer is yes to any of these questions then you are qualified for a blogger, lol.
