How to make a blog - Step by step
I know that starting a blog can be a bit confusing. When I created my first blog 5 years ago I knew absolutely nothing about blogging, or blogging.
I searched around Google's help, but all were guides or people with technical knowledge or too difficult to follow.
This is precisely why I wrote this guide to show you how to make your own blog - quickly and easily. Currently am managing about 13 different blog, some of them have over 100,000 visitors.

1. How to find the right blog topic on which to write (In case you do not already have one)
2. How to make a blog of your own domain (for example yoursite.com)
3.choosing your blog topic (design, which will really like it ...)
4.how to get more visitors and a few ways to bring additional revenue with your blog
One last thing ...
If you ever get stuck while you learn how to do a blog - I'm here to help, email me using the contact form.
If you're still wondering whether to start your first blog, I suggest you read this artile that I wrote "10 Reasons to create your own blog."
To help you understand this, ask yourself a few questions:
1. Why do you want to create a blog?
What is your goal: making money? To show your expertise? Share life's experience? you should answer these questions because write should be aligned with your objective.
When I made my first blog, I just wanted to write about smartphones and technical gadgets, and perhaps making some money while I write about them, so I started from there.......
Part of the adventure of blogging is that you do not need to have everything figured out. If you are "stuck" and did not know what to write, just start writing about your hobbies or your routine and you will soon find what you love to write about most.
What is a "platform"?
Creating a blog was quite complicated it is not easy to know HTML (the code), CSS (code), and there was a need to have technical knowledge.
but nowadays Thanks for platforms, all of these complicated things is no longer necessary. "Platform" is actually a system which makes adding and editing content on your website very easily and without the need for technical knowledge even !!!!!!!!!!
Using a platform like WordPress is as easy as using Microsoft Word!
I've tried dozens of different platforms and ...
I strongly recommend you use WordPress for your blog. That's why:
1. the easiest platform to use
2. understand by thousands of different and unique themes
3. You can categorize your blog posts and create custom menus, without the need of technical expertise
4. There are many amazing plugins that can install with a single click that add features such as newsletter subscriptions, photo galleries and much more
5. When you need help, there is a huge community of bloggers and developers of WordPress, which are more than happy to help
I do not want to go into too many details now, but if you are serious about blogging and you have decided that you are a blogger for more than 2-3 months, it is strongly recommended to use separate hosting for your blog .
In this way you will not have any restrictions related to your blog content, images and videos. Your blog will look more professional, better-looking and will have tons of free features that you can add later. Plus , you actually own blog.
However, if you do not plan to be a blogger for more than one month free option might make sense.
1.Domain name (web address) - FREE for life .
2.Hosting (linking your blog to the Internet) - about $ 4-5 per month.
This is - less than the price of a movie ticket, and you will be able to use the best platform for your own domain.
What if I decide that I will not be any more blogger?
Appropriate - Choose a domain name that reflects your style, behavior and intention. You can even start with your name, as yourname.com memorable - Nobody will remember domain name as "www.vrewudy-za-sdfdfjeh-kdsli-sdfrt.com", (it is too long and hard to remember ) but something like "orange.com" will be stored in their heads. Unique - similar to an existing name another such is not the way you would like to begin your blog.
I prefer to choose domain names that end in .com, .net or .org, but sometimes the best domain names are already taken.
Where should I get a domain and hosting?
I have used many different hosting companies. Some were good, some ... speaking honestly terrible.
Currently, I use www.SiteGround.com for all my blogs and recommend them to any new blogger, which I helped. I recommend them to you.
Click "Extensions" in the sidebar, then "Add more"
Search plugin on a given word, you can find any plug-ins for everything!
