Hi and welcome to my today's post. Wondering how to create a blog for free and make money?
Here, I’m going to show you 5 quick steps to create your first
website/blog and start earning online.
How to create a blog
Setting up a blog/website can give you great revenues and free you to
go anywhere you decide. You can make money while blogging and make passive income from your home. You only need a computer and a reliable
network.
Then, have some self-drive and set some goals; know what you
want. If you want to make extra cash online, or make blogging your
full-time job, state it.
The whole process of creating a blog is not very difficult as you may
think. Especially nowadays with the increase of Content Management
Systems (CMS) and Drag-&-Drop website builders, anyone can create a
stunning website that converts without any programming or web design
skills. What you need to do is simply:
1) Select
your niche
This is the topic that you will focus your website on. Make sure it’s
something that you love doing or can easily get high quality content.
For example, you can choose your niche to be “Save the student.” Then,
you can get content and guides to students to ease their lives and make
them happier.
At the same time, you can sell or promote things like
course books, uniforms, among other things that students might need.
Look for the problems that your audience is experiencing and find
working solutions to them. Then and there, you will have found yourself a
lucrative niche.
2) Find
a good domain and host.
If you don’t have one, brainstorm and come up with a good domain for
your website/blog. Then, find a good web hosting company to host your
website. If you don’t have any website development knowledge, you can
opt to host your website on sites that offers good CMS.
There is a
variety of them, but I would recommend try WordPress or Bluehost. These two are at the top due to their good service provision. And for WordPress, you can host a free website to see how it works.
3) Find
a good theme and air your first content.
After hosting your blog/website, go ahead and start customizing it.
Select an eye-catching theme if your host has some. You might want to
consider a web developer to design one for you. Once you get a good one,
write your first post and publish it, before sharing that page’s link
with your friends on social platforms like Facebook.
4) Get
traffic to your site.
Your site is up and running now, what next? To start monetizing your website, it’s good to have good source of organic traffic. Make sure you
research keywords well before writing any post to increase chances of
high ranks on the Search Engine Results Pages. This increases traffic on
your site.
5) Monetize
your website.
The purpose of creating this website was to make money online.
Therefore, you have to find different ways to use it to add some extra
cash in your bank. You can sell advertising space, combine it with affiliate marketing, and make some extra money from it.
Some people are
even earning passive 7+ -figure income through blogging and affiliate
marketing. Start your website today and find your way out.
