TIPS ON SUCCESSFUL BLOGGING: How To Start a Blog With WordPress(FREE)

You would agree with me that sometimes, setting up a fully functional successful blog with wordpress isn’t an easy thing.
Is that really true?

The process is actually pretty easy an straight forward.

In this article you will find a step by step guide on how to do this

What do you need to start a WordPress blog?

There are three things you need to start a WordPress blog:

A sub-domain name idea (this will be the name of your blog i.e ______wordpress.com)
Your undivided attention
Yes, you read it right. You can start a blog from scratch in a little while, and i will walk you through the whole process, step by step.

Ready? Let’s go.

The great thing is that it’s not so difficult to do. There are five steps. All you need to do is go to and click start and it will help you setup your blog.

I’ll be doing this with you.

First, choose a template/layout for your home page
Then, choose a theme
Next, choose a domain (blog address/blog name)
Pick a plan
Create your account
Step 1. Choose A Homepage Layout

The first step is to choose a homepage layout for your blog. There are four possible options.

I would recommend “A list of my latest posts” because this is the most common format for a blog.

If you are a photographer or have really nice photos, then you should choose “a grid of my latest posts”.

For businesses, “a welcome page for my site” or “an online store” are most appropriate.

Starting a blog is indeed not an easy thing to do. Dont you think?

Ummmmmmmm….I don’t think so

Start you very own blog today an make steps towards monetizing today.

In this article, I provide a step by step guide on how to start a self hosted blog:

If you’d prefer to start a free blog, Read up my article on starting a free wordpress blog.

Here’s how to start a blog:

Choose a blogging platform.
Register a domain name and hosting.
Design your blog.
Add content.
Get traffic.
The goal of this page is to help you get started the right way. From years of coaching and helping people with their blogs, I’ve found that many people make mistakes when starting a blog, sometimes resulting in them abandoning the project altogether. We don’t want that to happen.

So I want you to take the time to thoroughly read this post. It’s about 4000 words long, so get comfy and set aside some time; I’m going to walk you through the entire process of setting up your self-hosted blog, so you ‘get it right the first time’.

Are you ready? Lets Go!



Step 1: Choose the right blogging platform (WordPress)

Before you can even start worrying about how your blog will look like, you’ll need to choose your blogging platform. WordPress, Tumblr and blogger market share

There’s a lot to choose from. You are able to create a blog with many different blogging platforms, such as WordPress, Tumblr, Blogger and more…

However, given that there are over 72 million active users using WordPress today, it’s clear which platform is the boss. Even my own blogs and sites are built with WordPress blogging platform. Here’s why:

It’s FREE for everyone to use (including themes, layouts and add-ons that many other blogging platforms don’t provide).
It’s super easy to set up.
It’s secure; WordPress is always updating their software and keeping everything sound and secure, so there’s rarely a worry of having your blog come under hacking attacks. No wonder Facebook, NASA and even university blogs are using WordPress.
It’s HIGHLY customizable. There are hundreds of free themes and plugins that add more functionality to your blog, from contact and subscribe boxes to plugins that improve blog performance and more.
While the other blogging platforms are generally all pretty OK, nothing in my opinion has ever come close to matching the freedom and customization options that WordPress offers. So without a doubt, go with WordPress. Especially when you are just starting out.



Why you shouldn’t create a blog on a free blogging platform

Without a doubt, you need to self-host your WordPress blog.

Think about it – what famous, successful blogger you know is using a free blogging website like “codewithphilip.freeblogs.com” instead of their own domain name like “codewithphilip.co”, for example? ...................................

Why you shouldn’t create a blog on a free blogging platform

Without a doubt, you need to self-host your WordPress blog.

Think about it – what famous, successful blogger you know is using a free blogging website like “codewithphilip.freeblogs.com” instead of their own domain name like “codewithphilip.co”, for example?

It’s not just that – free blogging platforms have other problems too – including…

You don’t control your content – the blogging platform does. They could shut you down any time, and for any reason. Don’t believe me? Read this.
The web address of your blog will be long and hard to remember(like yourfreeblog..com) instead of a catchy, branded address you choose.
You’re not allowed to advertise on most free blogging platforms, making it much harder to ever make money from blogging.
All of these limitations apply to the blogs. What you really want is to self-host a WordPress blog – it’s the same software without all the limitations!

If I were you, I’d start with a self-hosted blog on my own domain from day one. Setting up a blog like this is WAY easier and less expensive than you think.
