Starting Your Blog--The Steps


Hello friends i'm most sincerely sorry for inability to post and continue our discussion on money-making ideas online as promised.Honestly it has not been easy combining all with my exams and tedious schedule here.Its really been a turbulent month but we are back for good!
Thanks everyone for your understanding. use this link to invite your friends www.tinyurl.com/kulltips   Just post in on their page and ask them to join the group if you think they will benefit.

CREATING YOUR FIRST BLOG
As we mentioned above a blog is simply an online diary where you put down your thoughts and ideas about anything,and allow the world to see and even comment.Its a powerful way to gather a following especially if you are impacting people with your ideas.There are two ways of doing it--
1--paid blog (eg: www.bellanaija.com .www.tmz.com  etc)

2.free blogs( lindaikeji.blogspot.com)

If you want to use the paid platform then you will have to get a hosting account and also register a domain name.What it means is that you have to register the name of your site with the companies that see to that so that another person will not use your sites name.and you also pay for a hosting account that will help your site to be on the internet.---i will explain this later.

we are going to use the FREE SOFTWARE for our blog,later we can talk about the paid one and how to get it.The difference is that with the paid blog,you have full control of your blog and what you do with it.However millions of bloggers use the free version and we shall use it to set up our first blog.

Our soft ware is blogger and it is from the online giant--GOOGLE.COM.The address is  www.blogger.com.
Before you start you have to think of the name that your site will bear.Let it be a simple name that will be easy for people to remember and also type into their browser.Examples,cutehaircuts(for haircuts),bestcakes(for cake makers),superhairstyles(assuming you are into hairdo)Beinspired(for motivators or writers)

One more thing before we start.As we are going to be using blogger.com,google will require that you open a ''GMAIL ACCOUNT'' and they will verify it with your phone number.So first of all you should open a gmail account because that is what will help you to get a blogger account.NOTE:ensure that you keep your password safe and also do not reveal it to anyone.When you are done then go over and type www.blogger.com and you will see a page that says ''SIGN IN''. Here you sign in with the gmail and password then you will be asked to ''CREATE A FREE BLOG'' In the field ''title'' you should type what you think your blog is like ''welcome to cute hair cuts'' etc In the field ''blog address'' you should type ''cutehaircuts'' then click ''CREATE BLOG''

Once you click on it,your first blog has been created automatically.What you should do now is to start POSTING....Lets not make too long posts.We continue tomorrow.
