The first thing you need for having a blog is your official website
Here’s what you need to get started:
- Your own URL. Many sites, such as Bluehost and GoDaddy will check the availability for your desired URL. If it’s available, you can purchase it. The price often varies somewhere around eleven US dollars. Make sure that this URL is the same as or directly relates to your blog so that people can find you online when they search for you.
- Next, you need to check prices and decide on a web hosting company. This is imperative for being on the internet. It’s what allows you to be accessed on the world wide web by the people searching for you. Some hosting services often come with an email as well, so that you can set up a professional-looking email to go with your blog.
- You will need to design your blog website yourself or you hire someone to design it for you. There are many web designers who will design a simple website for $300 – $500. If you don’t know where to start or you don’t want to take the time necessary to build your account, it may be the best to hire a professional to do that for you as a beginner. On the other hand, if you have some time to learn, there are many programs, which teach you how to build your wordpress.com and theblogpress.com website. There are also easy ready to go services websites such as Squarespace, theblogpress.com and Wix. This hosting platform has many themes you can work with. Also, try to have your own websites.
