Do you want to gain more customers through Search Engines like Google?

LET'S GET STARTED ON YOUR NEW BLOG!!!

Choose a domain name

Before we start the timer, you need to have a domain name (website address) in mind that is available. It can take a while to think of the right address to register, so go ahead and do that part first then come back and we'll get started.

If you need help checking if your intended domain is available, you can search for it here - Domain Checker.

Step 0

Pre-requisite:
You need to think of a domain name that's available.

Register & Host Your Domain

For the first step we'll group two things together to make your life easier. We need to register your domain and set up a web hosting account so you have somewhere to put your blog.

It's much easier to register your new domain at the same place you are hosting it - but don't worry if you have already registered your domain, we'll also walk you through connecting it to your host. We have found the best and best value web hosts that are designed for blogs.

Let us show you how to register and host your own domain.

Step 1

Get a Hosting Account

Time to complete:
10 minutes

Notes:
Try to find a hosting company that provides Wordpress support. We'll recommend some that do.

Install Wordpress

Wordpress is the world's best blog software, and it's totally free. So we're going to go ahead and get it set up on your blog. Some of our recommended hosting companies will have already done this for you. So depending on which host you chose, we might be able to jump to Step 3. If it's not installed automatically, it's a simple process to get it ready. We'll show you how to check that Wordpress is installed successfully - nice and easy without all the tech-talk (although we'll get into the details for those who care).

Let's install Wordpress now.

Step 2

Install Wordpress

Time to complete:
0-5 minutes

Notes:
This is automatic with some hosts and a one-click process on others.

Find a Blog Theme (Design)

Having an eyecatching design is a key element in the success of your new blog. If you just choose the default theme you will look like over a million other websites. Now you can buy a theme (ready-made design) for Wordpress from several cool design companies. There are free themes but also less common and more professional ones from as little as $10, up to $100 for the very best. When you weigh this up against the hired service rates of a contract designer, you are looking at saving thousands of dollars.

Let's go shopping for a new wordpress blog theme.
