Step 2: Choose Your Blog Name
Essentially this is your domain or website name. You want to choose a name that people will remember and also help people understand what your site is about. This will be your niche topic.
It's recommended you choose a niche that you are passionate about and is a topic that will help people.
This will also help you when you create content, write your blog as noted in step 5.
Step 3: Build Your Website
Once you've chosen your website's name, it's time to build your website to show the world who you are.
This process can be done in a couple of minutes as most of the process is automatic here.
You choose a theme for your website, click "Build My Website" and you'll be online.
Ready to start adding written content, pictures, and video.
Step 4: Get Your Blog Seen by Search Engines
When you start writing your content it will feel like you are in a ghost town. Other than telling your close friends and family about your site nobody else will know you exist.
That is why it is important to start creating your blog now, while we are still in 2019.
It takes time for search engines like Google and Bing to trust your site. They want to see if you are serious and that you meet the E-A-T criteria before they start moving your site up the ranks towards the ultimate goal of being on the first page of search queries.
Other times there are a few other things you will need to learn about search engine optimization (SEO).
This topic will be discussed in great detail in the training here.
Step 5: Write Your Blog
Once your site is up and ready for Google it's time to write your content. If you are new to writing content don't worry.
So many people that started here never wrote blogs in their life before landing on this platform, including myself.
The best advice I can provide is to just start writing.
It doesn't matter how bad you may think it just keeps writing and posting about your niche topic.
Once you have 30+ blog posts posted you should start to see some free /organic traffic coming to your website.
This is traffic sent by search engines like Google to your website.
Step 6: Make Money Blogging
Getting traffic to your website is how you will make money. No, you don't make money just by people reading your blog but you can provide some resources to people to help them meet their goals and in return, that resource will pay you a commission for referring people to their service or product.
That's what we call affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing is only one possible stream of income. You will learn how to tap into multiple streams of income.
