Must I be one of those TV technology whiz kids to get a blog started? So long as you're happy with a computer and surfing the web, you shouldn't have any problems launching your own blog. However, before I get into the detail, I'd like to give you an overview of the real technological procedures you need to take to get a blog started.

Aside from the imaginative aspects of what you want to blog about, here are the easy ways to get started in just 20-30 minutes: Buy Website Hosted - This is the motor that actually drives your blog. WordPress Install - This is the best place to create a blog.

Create your blog and begin posting - that's the funny part! I' ll begin at the beginning - select a blog theme. However, if you are already 100% sure what you want to post about, click here to go directly to the tech section on how to launch a blog.

Stage 1: Select a theme - is your blog for pleasure or cash? To blog just for pleasure, you don't necessarily have to reread this section because selecting a theme is easy: However, if you have financial aspirations for your blog, things can get a little more complex.

See, sometimes what you like to write about isn't necessarily something that will earn you a lot of cash. Because it' s difficult to modify the theme of your blog later, when your ultimate objective is monetisation, you need to make an attempt to find out if you have an audience and monetisation opportunities before creating your blog.

Am I enjoying to write about this subject? There is no way around it: Setting up a blog needs a lot of work. However, once you have started your blog, it will take some getting it integrated into something that attracts frequenters. This is why it is important that you choose a subject that you can see yourself reviewing in the long run.

However, in two month time, will you still be lucky to post on the subject, even if your blog doesn't receive hundreds of millions of visitors? Unless you're impassioned, it's going to be a tough fight if you try to keep posting new articles. Does anyone else have an interest in this subject?

When you have found a subject that you know you will be passionately interested in the near term, the next questions comes: When you want to be able to create an audiences at some point, it will help if you already know that audiences are interested in your subject. When a lot of folks search for the subject in Google, you can be fairly sure that there is a well attended public.

Attempt to think of the words that best describe your subject - then type them in the field and click Search Keys. As an example, the subject of this posting (a very favorite topic) receives over 110,000 search queries per month: Since your blog will probably contain several possible "keywords", it's a good idea of repeating this procedure for different themes that your blog could have.

Facebook Groups - Facebook offers a great way to measure interest in the subject you choose. See if you can find Facebook groups that deal with a similar subject and see how many members are on it. When you find groups with tens of millions of members, it's a good indication that your subject has an interested audience:

Googles Trends - This utility is somewhat easier to use and allows you to quickly see if interest in the subject you have selected is rising or falling (increase is better!). Could I earn a living with this subject? When you are sufficiently imaginative, it is possible to earn cash with most themes. That example is kind of advertising, but if you had a better pop blog about policies for using credit card, you can wager that you would have a bootload of debit companies wanting to knock on your doors and toss cash at you.

When you plan to make cash with your blog, try to try to answers how questions: Seem other bloggers dealing with this subject to be able to find ways to monetize? Can I create my own full -line e-book type creation that might interest consumers? Do you need more help selecting a blog alcove?

Selecting a blog alcove can definitely be tricky, so if you want to take an even deeper look at how to select a blog theme, take a look at these two posts: When you want to create a blog, there is only one single plattform that I suggest nowadays: Self-managed WordPress. WordPress supports not only this blog you are currently browsing, but also 29% of all web sites on the web.

Over a quarter of every website you use is supported by WordPress. So, whether you've ever listened to WordPress or not, I can fairly definitely promise that at some point in your lifetime you've used a website with WordPress. WordPress is the best place to create a blog?

It is a non-profit, open code program that has been created by a large industry group. com - This is a for-profit program based on the open code WordPress.org program.

With WordPress.com you can create a simple blog for free. It means that you do not have full command over your website, which means that you never really own 100% of your blog. It' hard to customise your website because you can't use WordPress plug-ins or WordPress topics unless you're paying for an costly businessplan. com puts some limitations on how you can monetise your website.

WordPress.org lets you download the free WordPress application to your own web hosting, which means you have full access to your website. When you' re serious about your blog, using self-hosted WordPress.org is a better choice than using WordPress.com, even with WordPress.com's offering of a "free" (but limited) blog.

Well, now that we've discussed how to select a theme and a blogs platforms, it's finally getting down to the tech detail of creating a blog, beginning with: Usually your domainname is the same as the name of your blog, so the choice of a domainname is a fairly important choice for a brand.
