2. Get Some Training

When you are learning anything new, finding a clear and concise step-by-step training guide is key to being up and running. Having no clue of where to find bits and pieces of information slows progress.

To serve you the hassle and stress that comes with it, I’ll show you where to find great training videos and get help from a supportive community.

Proper training is all it takes to motivate you to do things you never thought you were once capable of. You just need to do the right things. Doing tasks and lessons will make you realize your potential to create amazing things.

3. Get Your Blog Online

Choose a Reliable Hosting Company

The next thing is to find a blog hosting company. It’s the one that makes your blog available online. They own the computers/servers that your blog sits on.

This is called ‘hosting’. Not every hosting company provides training on top of the hosting service.

So, you need to choose wisely as this might affect your progress in a big way. I have been there and experienced it. I am going to recommend an outstanding ‘full package’ company that I personally use for both my hosting and training needs.

For your blog to become a reality, you will need a domain name and a web hosting service which means, you’re self hosted.

Steps to Building your Blog

Building a blog looks like:

1. Choose the type of blog you want to build. Is it a free domain or a domain you own.?

2. Choose your domain name for your blog, which is the address of your blog on the internet.

3. Choose a theme for your blog, the design of your blog. There are over 4,000+ blog designs to choose from.

4. Publish your blog. That’s it! With these simple steps, you can create a blog that is successful and reaches your target audience.

4. Start Adding Awesome Content

What are you trying to do when blogging for income?

It’s ALL about the content. You don’t need to be an English major to create content; it’s about creating opinions and ideas on a particular topic. If you choose a niche that you are interested in, it should be quite fun to create content.

Your website is the storefront of your online business and the content you create helps you connect with your audience (traffic).

If you can grasp how to create content that ranks under particular keywords,  you are going to be very successful online.

.

The golden rule is to give your audience what they’re looking for, so it’s important to focus on a group of people – this is your audience. People who are looking for a specific type of information you will provide.

Pick a single niche so that you give your audience what they want, and always narrow down your focus to something you feel comfortable to continue to write your content on. You will give advice to a group of people who are looking for specific information.

Create helpful and interesting content related to your blog niche to gain your audience’s attention and trust.

Your blog shows your readers how they can fix their problems with products or services you recommend to them.

For your visitors to try your recommendation, your blog content must show them helpful information. This will establish enough trust in your relationship before they will click any links on your blog.

Once you have established trust, that’s when you’re going to really thrive with your blog! Knowing how to write great content will go a long way to boost your business, making money online. Read more about how to create great content here.
