Creating a blog is a lot easier than most people think. Depending on what your needs are, I want to show you how you can get started without any knowledge whatsoever.
I have been blogging for about 2 years now and within that short amount of time, I have created many blogs that have generated me a nice little income.
Before I even started my career online, I had no idea that I would actually become a blogger. All I knew was that there were people making money online and I wanted in.
Who would’ve thought something so simple as blogging could do so much to a person’s life? It has changed mine and I want to help you accomplish the same success.
Getting Started
Before you even get into the home of your soon to be blog, let’s get to the what it takes to even get this whole thing going.
Your Passion.
What are you extremely knowledgable in or what is something that really interests you? Think about this for a second, before we move on to the next step.
Now if you haven’t chosen a niche just yet, don’t worry about it too much. I started out not knowing what my blog was going to be about and I turned out okay. At least I think so.
Some people have a hard time choosing one from the many and some are like me that can’t even pinpoint something that they are actually interested in.
Whatever the case may be, you are going to be just fine.
Your Blog Needs a Home
Now I’m sure you know that your new blog is going to need to sit on some type of website. If this part, for one second makes you nervous, don’t be.
Unlike 10 years ago, where you had to do all the crazy computer coding, things are all done with the click of your mouse.
The building of a site is the easiest part about this whole blogging thing, so get to understanding that much before you think you can’t do it.
On top of not having to deal with codes, you can even create a website for free. I don’t ever recommend it, but I do think it’s great for anyone who is just starting out.
I use a platform called Site Rubix, which gives you everything I need to run a website. From the domain name all the way to the support, you get the complete business in a box website.
There are other sites like WIX and all of them fancy ones, but they are not going to be your best bet as a blogger, especially as a newbie.
Give this handy tool a try and see if you can come up with a sweet domain (www.yourdomain.com) of your own.
Hey, it’s free!
Learn Before You Earn
Now that you have this pretty website up and running, you need to know what to do with it. I can say that about 90% of all bloggers will get to building their site and then stop.
Don’t be apart of that number.
This is why it is really important that you get the best training possible. Without this, you can expect to become another statistic.
I have been a member of a site called the Wealthy Affiliate and I can promise you that you will not find a better site on the whole entire web.
From some of the best in the biz, you can expect to get the best training out there. On top of that awesome training, you get one on one help from other online entrepreneurs.
Myself included.
You NEED Help and Support
Every blogger has had some type of support system as it is not the easiest thing to start a blog without knowing at least the basics.
For me, I literally do all my blogging business at the Wealthy Affiliate. Not only do they teach you how to make money with a blog, but they have all the tools and support you need to create and maintain that blog.
On top of all the goodness they have to offer, you can even create a free starter membership account. Yeah you may not get everything, but their free membership is a lot better than most paid programs.

I have been a member there for the whole two years I’ve been doing business online and I don’t think I will ever be leaving them either.
They literally have EVERYTHING you need to be successful online.
Complete Business in a Box
I have over 10 websites hosted at WA. My sites are always running smoothly thanks to the great support that comes with the benefits of having your site hosted there.
So you have your site, the training, and now the hosting. That is pretty much all you will ever need to start and maintain a successful blog.
The owners of this site are constantly improving everything there, even if I thought they were already amazing.
It’s BLOG:30 – Time to Blog
Now that you have everything you need to start that blog, there is only one thing left for you to do. It’s time to blog.
Unlike you, I had the hardest time blogging. I am not the best writer, but if it took blogging to make money online, I was willing to do it.
My writing sucked so bad that I was told that I would never become successful online. Obviously that didn’t stop me and it shouldn’t stop you either.
Everything you need to create your blog from scratch can be done on the Wealthy Affiliate and I can’t wait to see you and help you get started.
There is waaaaay too much money floating around the internet for you not to get a piece of the pie. If you are looking to make a living blogging, now is the time.
Start your blog, keep it going, and I can promise you that the money will follow. Get through some training and worry about the money later.
I hope this post has given you a better understanding of how you can start your own blog from scratch. If you have any questions about blogging or making money online for that matter, please feel free to leave your questions and concerns in the comment section below.
Happy Blogging!
