How to Start a Blog in 2022 (Step by Step) // Blogging for Beginners
Do you want to learn how to start a blog and make a full-time income as a beginner, then this video will help you start things right! I walk you through my easy step-by-step tutorial on how to create a blog. It's the exact same process I've used to set up dozens of websites.
I also reveal which software I think you should use, how much blogging really costs, and how much money you need to invest to start your blog the right way. And let me give you a hint: it's less than your regular cup of coffee at Starbucks - no joke. Plus, I take you behind the scenes of my own blog to give you a glimpse of my monthly blogging income and what could be possible for you too.
Now, let me tell ya, in the past few years, blogging has turned my life upside down in the best way possible. I've gone from working a 9-5 corporate-banking job to becoming a full-time blogger earning a 5 figure income all while working from home! Now I don't know about you, but it's a dream come true not having to work a 9-5 job with endless spreadsheets and sitting in meetings I don't care about blogging has helped me support my family with extra income without having to spend evenings and weekends away from my baby or my husband?
I've built my own business where I'm the boss where I work on something actually meaningful and fulfilling to me while still making money from my passion! Now, If you are like - yup, that's exactly what I want to do too - then you're in the right place; today, we're getting your online blogging business off the ground.
Ok, let's jump right in!

When I said my blog was up, I didn’t realize that I’d have so much to learn and that a lot would go wrong that I’d have to fix, but the beauty of learning. I’ve come a long way. I’m happy with my blog but no money yet which is ok for now.

Hey Jeff, so I have another video about how to find your niche - that could be helpful. But, what I usually say is that choose either something you're super passionate about or you're an expert on. So you'll stay motivated. Or if you're creating it solely for business then maybe something with a high traffic volume.

Oh I'm so with you on that, JC. At 1 point, I owned about 18 different domain names. Simply because I got a great idea for a website and blog, but shiny object syndrome kicked in and bought into another idea. And then another and by doing this, you get nowhere closer to your goal. If you're multi-passionate, just 1 or 2 topics and start a blog on each one. Then you can apply the 80-20 rule. 80% of your time and effort, you put into website 1 and 20% on the second one. This way, when you get bored or almost burn out from your first topic, you can spend some time on your 2nd site.

Hello, do you have a tutorial on how to connect your domain to your Bluehost account? Also my network provider seems to be blocking Wordpress/my blog :(
Hi Katie, may I ask why you put the year in your website link? It would be better to set your permalinks to just the name of your post. Because when I was reading your article and noticed the 2021 in the link, it made me think right away that it was old content.
@KatieGrazer
Жыл бұрын
You're 100% right. My website is very old and when I started I had no idea about permalink structure so right now it is what it is - but in the future when I have the funds to redirect all the pages and change it - that would for sure be beneficial.

@@KatieGrazer no problem, just wanted to point it out. By the way, you can set up 301 redirects for those pages. You might lose a bit of traffic for a little while,. but it will come back once Google went through those.
When I did this it was a different set up and automatically started setting up WP. It also didn't give me the option to choose the look of the site. Any advice?

Hi there, I'm not sure if Im pressing the wrong thing. But bluehost no longer offeres 50 ssd for the basic, and no domain protection?
@theUltimateBloggingGuide
Жыл бұрын
Hi Ida, Bluehost changed their plans last year. But if you're just using it for 1 site, 10 GB SSD is more than enough. But I would recommend buying your domain name separately with a company like Namecheap for example. Mainly because you don't want to get stuck with 1 company. And if you have both your hosting and domain with Bluehost, they hold all the cards if that makes sense. And another important thing to keep in mind is that the discount you're getting with Bluehost is only valid for your first contract. So if you sign up for 1 year for example, after that year, you're going to pay the full price. Just something to keep in mind. Chris

That's really hard to say and differs for everyone. I believe you can start earning morning from your blog even in the first few months. But you need to keep at it. Be consistent, analyze what's working for you and give your audience what they want. Then there's nothing in your way of turning this into a business.
