I have been getting several requests on how-to blog and start getting into blogging. Then I thought that the old saying : It is better to teach you How-to Fish that it is to give you the fish. Once you have the skill, you can continue to feed yourself. Ok I am game for that. So I started on the side bar a list of blogging tools:
- Blog Domain Registration
- Blog Hosting cheap
- Free Blog Hosting – Blogger
- Free Blog Hosting – WordPress
The first allows you to purchase a domain name for your blog, remember to use key words in your blog domain that goes with the theme of you blog content. Then get some cheap hosting for your blog, you can normally get domain name and blog hosting together at a good price.
If you want to go the free blogging route I have included two world famous websites, blogger and wordpress. Both are good at providing you a free blog and bloggers do make money with them. The one you are reading now is a self hosted wordpress blog. I started out using blogger.com free service many years ago with I frist started out in blogging. Just know you are at the wheems of Blogger and WordPress on what you can and cannot put on your blog. A few months ago Google pulled the plug on many Blogger accounts just because they wanted to. There was some made up reason for it. As I have mentioned there is nothing wrong starting out with a free blog but over time I have found that it is best to purchase your own so you can keep all you content together on you site and after years in the search engine your domain that you own will get higher ranked. One key to search engine ranking is for your blog to be old, the older the getter as time goes along.
Once you site is ready start blogging about your topic and just keep blogging, everyday would be good from being found in the search engines, once a week is good, the idea is just to talk about your blog subject and make posts. The traffic will come. Also keep reading everything you can get your hand on blogging. Over time you accumulated knowledge will create you into the blogger that you will become.
Now that you are learning how to fish you can feed yourself with fishing from now on.
Fish on. Blog on.
