How to Create a Blog
Learn how to start a blog in 2018 (step-by-step, with images)
Or expand your online business. It’s great tool to promote your personal brand or business.
You can also make money from your blog.
Luckily, in 2018, creating a blog is easier than ever.
I’ll guide you through everything with images, so you get your blog started today.
Lot of people have already used the WebsiteSetup.org instructions to start their own websites and blogs, so I’ve probably answered every question you might have here (my inbox has 8700 emails)
But if you get stuck with anything, feel free to contact me, and I’ll help.
THRE MOST COMMON QUESTIONS I’M GETTING FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN CREATING A BLOG:
‘How much time does blogging take?’
Following these instructions will likely take less than 20 minutes.However, choosing a domain name and the blog’s theme (which determines how it looks) could take a while if you don’t yet know what you want them to be.
Lastly, creating quality content that your potential readers want to read can take even more time. For example, it took me more than 72 hours to put this piece of content together (including images and videos). Overall, blogging doesn’t have to take much time. It’s completely up to you to decide how seriously you want to take it.
‘Is blogging completely FREE?’
The short answer is “Yes.” You can even create a blog free if you want to.BUT there are a couple of things you should pay for.
A domain name (www.YourBlogAddress.com) will cost around $10/year (but you can get it free—more about that later).
Web hosting is usually around $4-$15/month or more (although, the host I use and recommend is a bit under $3/mo). In a nutshell, it costs less than a coffee at Starbucks.
Bottom line: If you want to start a serious blog, you’ll need to spend a few dollars to get a domain name and web hosting. We’ll go through these in detail in STEPS 3 and 4.
‘Can I use a blog to make money online?’
Yes.Some successful bloggers make insane amounts of money ($50k/mo and above), and most of it is passive, too.
There are endless ways to earn money with your blog.
Some folks are offering services, some using Google Adsense program, some are monetizing their blogs with Amazon and some are just selling physical/digital items.

But you can set up a blog for fun or as a hobby, too. That’s completely fine and many people are already doing it. I’ve helped to set up blogs for a lot of writers who just want to become a better writer and have no intentions of making money online.
