How To Start A Blog and Make Money

How To Start A Blog and Make Money

Curious about starting a blog with WordPress and becoming a successful blogger? After countless questions from friends and family about how to start a blog, I decided to create this guide on how to set up a WordPress blog. Starting your own blog doesn’t have to be complicated, intimidating or expensive. In fact, you can get a special 60% off discount with BlueHost, one of the best web hosting companies online, so your hosting costs can be as little as $2.95 a month.

Using the tutorial below, I will show you exactly how to start a WordPress blog and make money online!

How To Start A Blog and Make Money

Web Hosts and Installing WordPress

BlueHost offers bloggers a free domain, cheap prices, 1-click automatic WordPress installations and great customer service and technical support via both phone and chat. The company is also very user-friendly and makes it extremely easy to start a blog.

In addition to getting a free domain and some of the lowest rates in the industry, the benefit of choosing BlueHost is that your domain and hosting company will be the same so you don’t have to assign nameservers.

If you want to build a professional WordPress blog that will attract readers, advertisers, and brands, then use BlueHost to start a self-hosted blog and avoid the nightmare of free blogging sites.

How To Set Up A WordPress Blog on BlueHost

Building a blog with BlueHost is easy and will take you less than 15 minuts. When using my tutorial, you can take advantage of my 60% off discount. On their homepage, click on the “Get Started Now” button.

Now you will need to select your hosting plan. I recommend the “Starter” plan if you are new to blogging.

You will need to pick a domain or blog name. As I mentioned before, you get a free domain when you sign-up for at least 12 months of hosting through BlueHost.

Now you must confirm your hosting package. I recommend the “36 Month Price” to lock-in the cheapest rate, but if you want to start out conservatively, you can always choose the “12 Month Price” and only pay $59 for a full year of web hosting. I also highly recommend the “Domain Privacy Protection” to protect your personal information from being shared publicly. The rest of the add-on options can be unchecked.

After you’ve chosen the right hosting package for your needs and budget, enter your personal and payment information to proceed.

After your payment has been processed, visit the BlueHost homepage to login. In your BlueHost CPanel, click on the icon labeled “Install WordPress“.

On the screen that pops up, you’ll want to choose “Install” to start a new installation of WordPress.

Choose your domain from the drop-down list and leave the second box empty.

In this final step, you will need to click on “Advanced Options” and choose your login information. Be sure to also check the “Automatically Create A New Database…” box at the bottom as well. Finally, click “Install Now“.

Congratulations, you now have a WordPress blog. BlueHost will send you an email confirmation in a few minutes and you will be able to log in to your blog using the link they send you.
