Lazy guy who wants to become rich

I’m already one month old blogger Yehey! hehe. Since you already have an idea what is blog, let me bring you to the next step, How to start a blog.

It was very difficult for me when I started this blog, off course I don’t have any problem regarding installation since my host has a wordpress auto install. But there are more important factors on heaven and earth other than installing a blog software.

Lately, I realized that it’s easy to start a new blog if you just follow a step by step procedure like this.

1.Determine a theme - First, Take time to think and decide what your blog is all about? What do you want to blog about? Make some plan about it. Don’t just blog about anything. Pick a topic you are passionate about. Something that you have lots of experience with.

2.Select a Blog Software – There are many Blog Software in the net today, but I selected Wordpress and Blogger to be included here because, I haven’t tried any other than the two. Besides they are used by many respected blogger out there.

3.Free service or Cheap webhost – Do you wonder if blog is free or not? Well it depends on what kind of host you will choose. If you will use a free blogging service that is hosted for you then you can blog without spending even a single penny but, as I learned from our professor that in economics, There’s no such thing as a free lunch. Body Jones explained that,

When you start a blog with a free blogging service, you don’t get your own domain. You get something like mygreatblog.blogspot.com (where there are a million other blogs at blogspot.com) and you don’t actually own the blog. If you ever do decide to move to your own domain, you have no way to take your readers with you, because you have no control over the site.

So he suggested hosting your own blog using Wordpress free Blog software because it offers much more flexibility and freedom to do what you want. Ok then, if you don’t have any idea where to buy a cheap but reliable web host that specialized in customer satisfaction, I suggest my webhost right now. For just $6.95 per month you can have 1,500 Gigabytes of Hosting Space, host UNLIMITED Domains!! 15,000 Gigs of Transfer and free 1 domain forever. So what are you waiting for?

So just login to your cpanel and then go to software and services section then click new installation then thats it. If you are not hosted by hostmonster then just watch this video.

5.How you want your blog to look - Find the best theme for your blog, WordPress themes are basically website designs that you can just download and enable for your WordPress blog. If you want to make your blog look more attractive Go to the official Wordpress theme browser and pick a theme. They are all free. After you download the theme, unzip it then
Look for the themes folder. It’s in the wordpress => wp-content => themes. then Just drop your new wordpress theme on themes folder. after that, login to your wp-admin panel to activate your new theme.

6.Write your first post - They say that blogging is about courage to say something. yet, for me this is the most difficult part. When I wrote my first blog post I have absolutely no idea what I am going to write about. I always ran out of words and my head got blank. luckily after the sun goes down, I finished my first blog entry entitled “The first step“.
