My name is Hayden Cutsforth as you may or may not already know, I’ve started blogging for about 3 months. This post is written to show you the basics on how to create your first ever blogging account.

Nowadays millions of people are earning automatic incomes through advertising on their blog. At first when you hear of making money online you might be put off by the thought of technical knowledge, or you may see these opportunities as a scam by money hungry affiliates.

Building your first blog

The first thing you have to decide before creating your blog is who is going to host your blog or are you going to settle for a free blog which has a sub domain. The choice is entirely up to you after all, here are my opinions.

Blogger is the easier option, it provides you a free web log which allows you to publish your own text, pictures and videos. It also lets you share your blog with in the blogger community. Blogging is about more than just putting your thoughts on the Web. It is about connecting with and hearing from anyone who reads your work and cares to respond. Blogger enables you to control who can read and write to your blog — allow just a few friends or the entire world to see what you have to say.

Wordpress is even more powerful if you have your own self hosted blog. Some of the limitations with free blogging stops you from uploading your own site templates and isn’t as better than having your own domain name. However, I would recommend Wordpress for more experienced bloggers.

Now before I carry on any further I want to let you know that I am not the one to blame if you buy hosting and expect to make alot of cash in your first few months. 99.9% of bloggers only make profit if they dedicate themselves to their blog, “Content is king.” the first aim before monetizing your blog is to develop an audience and receive traffic before you start experimenting with advertising.

Most people who are too caught up in building a blog to make money miss the whole concept of blogging.

Writing frequent posts and commenting on other blogs in your niche.

If hosting provides a “wordpress one click install” then you will not require to install it manually, here is a link for wordpress recommended hosting companies.

If you want to make a professional self hosted blog then the main priority now is to decide what you want to blog about which many people struggle with this. Think of any subject you could write about easily or pick a topic you feel strong about. The thing that makes blogging dull is having to write articles that you do not enjoy writing. You could consider starting a blog for any of the following:

Beauty Tips
Business
Cars
Animals
Cooking
How to build a website
Video Blog
Accessories
Clothing
Computers
Education
Technology
Sports
Music
Celebrities

This choice is endless on what you can write about. So once you have decided what your blog’s purpose is you can purchase a domain name and hosting package.
