\"how-to-start-a-blog-in-an-hour-or-less\"<\/a>This guide is for anyone who wants to start a blog or website.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the very first step in creating your online business and I can assure you that it is as simple as you thought. In this guide, I will go back to the beginning and make sure you can create your first blog within an hour. So let\u2019s get started now!<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Start a Blog?<\/strong><\/span>
\nHaving a blog or website is essential start for any online business. It takes a lot of patience, hard work and persistence to build one for the purpose of generating passive income.<\/span><\/p>\n

The following 3 things are what you need to jump start your blog and BLUEHOST<\/a>\u00a0does it all within 15 minutes:
\n\u2780<\/span> Domain name<\/span>
\n\u2781<\/span> Hosting company<\/span>
\n\u2782<\/span>\u00a0Blogging platform<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The Basics Understanding<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Before you start your blog, it is good that you have the basic understanding of what is a domain, hosting and a blogging platform.<\/span><\/p>\n

Domain name<\/strong> is the web address of a website. For example: www.yourname.com<\/em><\/span>
\nHosting company<\/strong> is a housing that stores all your information, data, images etc just like your CPU. When you have a domain name registered, you want other people to see your website. This is when you need a hosting company that help you store all the data and information to the web server. Hence, when someone search for your website, the internet will connect to the web server that holds all your information and then transfer back to the person\u2019s computer to view the pages of your website.<\/span>
\nBlogging platform<\/strong> <\/span>is software that turns a site into a functioning blog where it helps to managed your data like articles, documents, videos, photo and much more.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Why do you need to register a Domain name?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u278a\u00a0<\/span>Search Engine refuse to list pages from free sites like bloggers, WordPress etc. With a domain name registered, your site will get the priority to be listed by search engine, which means your site will rank higher, probably\u00a0in the first few search pages of Goggle search.<\/span>
\n\u278b<\/span>\u00a0You will have a personal website link which ended with www.yourname.com\u00a0<\/em>rather than www.yourname.com\/wordpress
\n<\/em>\u278c<\/span> It will increase your brand name recognition, increase the level of trust and integrity which indicate that you are in a serious business.<\/span>
\n\u278d<\/span>\u00a0Having a domain name makes it easy for your customers to remember you.<\/span>
\n\u278e\u00a0<\/span>A good domain name are reserved daily, meaning your chances of a name you have in mind may be taken at anytime, so it is advisable to registered as soon as you have a good name in mind.<\/span>
\n\u278f<\/span>\u00a0It is more professional to have your domain name like www.yourname.com<\/em>\u00a0in your name card or letterhead.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Why choose Bluehost?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"bluehost-logo\"<\/a>I have done my research for several days and I found out that there are many hosting company like Hostgater, Godaddy, ipage and Bluehost.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Bluehost<\/a>\u00a0ease my pain as it does all for me from hosting to domain name to one-click WordPress installation. All these can be done within 15 minutes!
\n<\/span>Note:<\/span><\/em><\/strong> My websites are hosted by Bluehost and you can read below the\u00a0incredible experience I had\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span>with them. If you are planning for your first site, I\u00a0would highly recommend using Bluehost. Yes, I\u00a0do get a commission if you decide to\u00a0purchase from my affiliate link\u00a0but it is\u00a0at\u00a0no additional cost to you.<\/span>
\n<\/em>
\n<\/a><\/em>7\u00a0reasons why I choose Bluehost<\/a>:<\/span>
\n\u2713<\/span> Domain and Hosting:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>When you sign up with Bluehost hosting account, you get a free domain name for life.
\n<\/span>\u2713<\/span><\/strong> Best Deal at<\/span> $3.49\/Month:<\/span><\/strong> With Bluehost, new customers will get an unbeatable discount price at $3.49\/month (43% discount).
\n<\/span>Although hosting terms are billed up front but the confidence Bluehost gives the freedom to their customer to cancel at any time for a prorated refund!
\n<\/span>The most reputable wordpress.com recommends Bluehost. Need to say more? Moreover, they have a one-click WordPress installation at their C-panel after signing up with Bluehost because they are wired.
\n<\/span>\u2713 Famous Blogger recommend Bluehost:<\/span><\/strong> Darren Rowse, Pat Flynn, Tim Ferris are the most popular blogger and all of them recommend Bluehost and I can rest assure my choice is right with Bluehost.<\/span>
\nSee what they have to say: Darren Rowse<\/a>, Pat Flynn<\/a>, Tim Ferris<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/span>
\n<\/a><\/em>\u2713\u00a0<\/strong>Reliability:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>I did not experience any downtime with Bluehost till date. That is probably why they receives 30,000 new sign-ups per month. I read some review elsewhere from a Bluehost\u2019s customer that she receive only a few downtimes, but she always got an explanation what went wrong and how long the technical team need to solve the problem. It is true that no web hosting provide 100% uptime but Bluehost is as close to this magic number which is why many clients had stay with them for years as they are too satisfied with Bluehost.
\n\u2713\u00a0<\/strong>Great Customer Service Support:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Their customer service is excellent. In fact, it is my number one reason to sign up with Bluehost. They provide 24\/7 via phone, email and online chat which help me anytime I need.\u00a0Their online chat support is the most beneficial to me as I am not based in the U.S (calling them is expensive) and I just prefer a real-life human that can answer my queries and solve the issue as soon as possible (email is slower).\u00a0What impressed me is that the loading time for chat is not more than 5 minutes unlike the rest of the hosting company I tried.\u00a0You can try chatting with them yourself by clicking the \u201cSupport Chat\u201d button at the bottom of Bluehost website (Make sure you are not trying for fun.)<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Why Choose WordPress?<\/span>
\n<\/strong>\"wordpress-logo\"<\/span><\/span>Now, you might be thinking why I chose WordPress as my blogging platform.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are the few reasons to go for WordPress:
\n\u2713<\/strong> It is FREE: <\/strong>WordPress is free for anyone and it is yours for use forever. They don\u2019t charge now or in the future so it is perfect for business entrepreneurs.<\/span>
\n\u2713<\/strong> Search Engine Optimization (SEO):<\/strong> WordPress is search engine friendly, meaning your site will be rank higher up in the search results page. There are excellent SEO plugin available which can also help to fine tune your website rankings if needed.<\/span>
\n\u2713<\/strong> Great Plugins:<\/strong> Plugins add additional functionality or features to your website and are often free to install.\u00a0 It can do almost anything which consist of shopping carts, social media, fonts, eCommerce and much more. Currently there are 34,310 Plugins available for download.<\/span>
\n\u2713<\/strong> Choose your Theme<\/strong>: A theme makes your website look designed in a minutes after installing. The most important thing is they are free which will save you tons of money from hiring someone to build a website from scratch. You can select and change your theme anytime you like which save you lots of time too. If you need a premium theme, you can actually get them from $25 onward (One Time Fee).<\/span>
\n\u2713<\/strong> Web Browser Compatibility:<\/strong> These days, the new theme is compatible with almost all web browsers (IE8+, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera). Some people are not worried about web browser compatibility, but you need to understand that your audience use different type of browsers and you should not leave anyone behind.<\/span>
\n\u2713<\/strong> <\/strong>Content Management System (CMS) Solution:<\/strong> WordPress is a great CMS platform. It allows anyone who is inexperience to use. This mean you don\u2019t need to have programming or coding knowledge and if you are new to WordPress, give yourself some time to know the basics and you will get the hang of it very soon. WordPress comes with an editor which is quite similar to Microsoft Word\u2019s function. If you can use Microsoft Word, I don\u2019t think it will be difficult for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

How To Build a Blog\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Now, I will walk you through the process from setting up a hosting, domain and installing your blogging platform.
\nLet\u2019s roll in!<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/strong> <\/span>Go to Bluehost<\/a> website > Products > Select Shared Hosting\"1-Wordpress-shared-hosting\"<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>Step 2: <\/strong><\/span>Select the package you prefer.
\n<\/span>Their \u201cStarter\u201d package start at $3.49\/month (43% discount) but I will recommend getting their most popular \u201cPlus\u201d package at $5.95\/month given that almost everything is unlimited except you only have only 1 domain name. But if you are uncertain, you can start off with the starter package first as you can upgrade your package at anytime.
\n<\/span>\"2-bluehost-plus-package\"<\/p>\n


\n<\/span>Step 3:<\/span> <\/strong>Give your website a name (My favourite step! 1 domain name is FREE!).<\/span>
\nType in the domain name in the fill provided to check for availability as they might be already taken (Domain name sell fast).<\/span>
\nTips:<\/span> <\/strong>It will be wise to pre-select at least 3 different names just in case your first choice is already taken.\"3-bluehost-new-domain\"<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

How to choose a Domain name?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u25c6 Your brand or business name: <\/strong>Using your creativity to choose a unique name so people can remember it.
\n\u25c6\u00a0Search engine friendly name: <\/strong>This means by choosing an obvious name relevant to the type of product or service you have. I prefer this the most because it helps people to find your website through keywords searches from the search engine. Think in the customer\u2019s perspective and list down the keywords- how will they search for your business?
\n\u25c6\u00a0Other Considerations:<\/strong> Easy to spell and pronounce? Keep it short, not too long as people will not remember it. Are you targeting locally or worldwide as you may need to plan what what suffixes extensions to use.
\n<\/span>
\n\u2318\u00a0Suffixes extensions:<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nYou will be offered a variety of domain name with different suffixes extension. Suffixes serve different type of company, organization or target different countries. So you may need to consider them when choosing the domain name.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Suffixes<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\nMeaning<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
.com<\/span><\/td>\nFor business and commercial used. Most popular.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
.org<\/span><\/td>\nFor non-profit organization<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
.net<\/span><\/td>\nFor network organization such as service provider<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
.info<\/span><\/td>\nFor information sites<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
.us<\/span><\/td>\nServe to target United States of America audience. Each country has its own unique extension.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n


\n<\/span>Step 4:<\/strong> <\/span>Skip to Step 5 if your domain name is available for registration.
\n<\/em>If the domain name you\u2019ve chosen is not available, you will be prompted to a page to make an alternative domain name suggestion. If you do not like any of domain name provided, please type in another domain name and check for the availability.
\n<\/span>\"4-bluehost-sign-up-now\"
\n<\/a>Step 5: <\/strong><\/span>Now fill up your particular and you are good to go.<\/span>
\n\"5-bluehost-account-information\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

WordPress gave you some option to choose if you want the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

Domain Privacy Protection:<\/strong><\/span>
\nWhen you register your domain name account, your particular like name, address, contact number and email address will be shown public to anyone on the internet. If you do not wish to get harvest by marketing companies to promote you any service, you might want to opt in for the protection.<\/span>
\nSite Backup Pro:<\/strong> You don\u2019t have to worry for losing your data or files. Bluehost will safeguard your site with their automatic online backup if you opt for this. Recovery made easy for you.<\/span>

\nSearch Engine Jumpstart:<\/strong> You want to get found by Google, Yahoo and Bing? This allow rapid indexing meaning you will be listed quickly by the search engines rather than waiting for months. Highly recommended if you wish to get faster results.<\/span>

I don\u2019t believe in superpower memory to remember all my passwords, I have too\u00a0many other accounts, so do you?<\/span>
\nThe best is to write the passwords down somewhere but of course you need to protect and safe keep them.<\/span>
