5 Easy Steps on How to Set Up a Blog
No, you don’t need a pro web designer to set up a blog for you. If you've been itching to start an online business and having a blog is a major part in it, then do it now.
Even if you've got zero technical skills (of course, you must know how to use the computer) getting your own blog is not a far-fetched idea with all the resources available for you.
Last time, you learned the importance of finding the right keywords. Today, you’re going to learn how to set up a blog in very easy steps so that by this time tomorrow, you’re one step closer to finally launching your online business.
So let’s get started.
How to set up a blog in 5 easy steps
Get a domain
Your choice for a domain name is very important. It’s the equivalent of having a house in Beverly Hills or upstate New York. When you tell people you live in these places, they’ll pay attention. Suddenly, you’re someone they like to befriend. It’s a good status symbol.
So make sure to pick the right blog URL (another term for domain name) to get people and search engines to notice you. Always pick .com over .info or .net because they’re not going to help you a lot. Don’t forget to use the keywords you’ve chosen. Your domain has to be as close to the keyword as possible.
Domain names cost a little money. Yes, you need to invest in them even though there are free URLS (like yourblog.wordpress.com or yourblog.blogger.com) because they command more authority. Plus, you’ve got more freedom over your website if you own the domain.
How much do they cost? Namecheap and GoDaddy has domain names that are under $10 per year. See, they’re not expensive.
Find a web host
When you have your own domain, it follows that you have your own web host. What is it?
A web host (or server) is a place that stores your blog’s pages and makes them accessible to the public. Think of it as a suburb (or a city) where your house (blog) is built. For people to find you, they need to go to take the roads that lead to your area and then find your block.
Web hosting allows people to find your blog when they surf the web. Without a host, no one will ever find your website.
Free web hosting is an option for those who don’t want to spend money. You can have platforms like WordPress and Blogger host it but that would mean they have control over your blog. It’s like renting a house. You won’t have the liberty to do anything you want to the property because you have to answer to the real owner of the house.
It’s highly recommended that you pay for hosting. There are many hosting providers that charge as little as $9 a month.
Choose the right platform suited for your needs
There are currently two popular blogging platforms: WordPress and Blogger. I prefer WordPress because of its interface and ease of use. Those who don’t know how to set up a blog will love it. It takes you by the hand and makes the process very easy.
Another thing I love about WordPress is the wide array of plugins that make blogs look and function really well. But don’t just take my word for it. Go check out both and see for yourself.
Install theme and plugins
Looks matter a lot especially these days when there are so many other blogs to compete with. To get attention, have killer looks. In this case, make sure that your blog is downright awesome. WordPress has a huge selection of free and premium themes and you’ll certainly find it hard to pick one because they all look great.
Once your blog has a cool look, focus on its functionality. Install plugins that will offer both smooth user experience and easy management. Plugins like SEOpressor, SEO by Yoast, and Google Analyticator are just some of the tools that’ll help you manage your blog easily.
Create content for your blog
Now that your blog looks good and has all the armory it needs, it’s time to create the content. Despite what other people say, content is still king. Google pays more attention to quality, which is largely influenced by unique and quality content.
You’ll find a lot of tutorials and how-to articles that will help you create awesome content for your blog. I suggest you read a lot of them but make sure to not let it keep you from actual writing. It’s easy to get overwhelmed and just want to keep on reading and put off writing. Write a lot. Produce lots of articles. Your blog can never have enough.
If writing is not your strongest skill, outsource your articles.
Now that you know how to set up a blog…
It’s time to start working. Open a new tab on your laptop and start with purchasing your blog’s domain name. Then proceed with the next steps.
How to Earn Money On the Internet
Nowadays there are many ways to earn money staying at home. Anyone in any country who has a computer with Internet access can try some of them. We will tell you about several easy and legal ways you can use to earn money without spending your own.
Writing a blog
Blogging is very popular now and can help you make some profit.
You can create a blog on some blog-platform like WordPress which is free of charge. It can be either a personal page or a page dedicated to some subject.
The main thing is – the articles should be interesting and unique and the content regularly updated to catch a reader’s eye. To earn from your blog you need join in some advertising program such as Google Adsense.
They pay for your readers visiting any of the sites they advertise. Certainly you won’t become a millionaire writing a blog but it can be a decent additional income.
Doing a freelance job
Many qualified specialists needed who can do a job online. If you are a photographer, web or graphic designer, business consultant or good at some other field you can join some freelance job community to promote your services.
You can also become a freelance writer, as the author of this article did. No matter what site you write for (it can be eBooks site, a popular blog, a newspaper, a journal, etc.), the main thing is to write about what you like and understand.
Starting an e-shop
To organize an e-shop you don’t need some special skills. You can use a service like Shopify that has all necessary functions for you to start your new business.
All you need is to decide what products you want to sell!
Such kinds of ecommerce platforms usually offer safe hosting, user-friendly interface and good checkout system to make payments.
Taking Surveys
Many companies are interested in customers’ opinion about their products or services and they are ready to pay to find it out!
Lots of sites offer you to register and take various paid surveys. They normally ask you to fill in a special form with personal information so that they can offer you surveys you might be interested in.
Taking such surveys regularly can become a steady source of income.
Sell with eBay
Probably you think it is out of date but nevertheless it is still an effective way to earn some money. On eBay you can sell almost everything: clothes, books, furniture and other unnecessary stuff.
It is also possible to find a shop that will buy some vintage china or jewellery from you. Many e-shop owners use eBay to promote their business and to broaden customers’ audience.
5 Free Windows Programs To Monitor Your Internet Usage
Home internet nowadays comes with a quota of how much bandwidth you can use in a month. It’s unavoidable and if you happen to exceed that quota, your internet provider might charge you a premium, or slow your speeds down to dial-up levels. If you don’t want this to happen to you, then you should monitor your internet usage.
Here are 5 free programs for your Windows PC to help monitor your Internet usage. This is great for readers who are on a student budget, studying abroad on a limited mobile broadband plan. Those broadband plans normally have a quota that includes both upload and download bandwidths and we’ve tested these 5 programs to see how they fare.
Once you install NetWorx, it will track all your Internet usage with an icon on the taskbar. You can click and launch the program to view usage graphs of each day. What’s good about NetWorx is the ability to set a daily, weekly or monthly quota to track uploads or downloads or both. You can also set the on/off peak usage that some internet providers have and it’ll warn you if you’re about to reach the limit.

This program comes with a desktop widget meter graph of your download and upload speeds. Similar to NetWorx, you can add a quota limit — in the case of BitMeter 2, it is named ISP Restrictions. Once set, it’ll tell you how many days and bandwidth you can use before reaching your limit. You can also view your usage stats that can be sorted by hours, days, and months.

This program permanently sits on your taskbar showing upload and download speeds. To enable this, right click on your taskbar and under Toolbars click on NetSpeedMonitor. Apart from showing connection speeds, it can track your daily usage. You can see track your daily or monthly usage, and also see what programs are connected to the internet. Unlike the other programs though, there is no quota reminder.

This program has a very clean user interface that is easy to understand. Upon installing it, you’ll have to provide an email address to register for a free product code. After that, you can begin tracking your internet usage and even see what programs are connected to the internet. It also allows you to set your monthly quota with reminders sent to you as you near the limit.

ISP Monitor is a lightweight program to easily track your daily or monthly internet usages. You’ll have to set it up first by changing the adapter settings under Settings > Traffic Monitor > Adapterto choose between a wired or Wi-Fi connection. Unlike the previous programs, you cannot set a quota reminder. It has easy-to-read logs where you can instantly see your daily upload and download usage.
