HOW TO: Start your own website/blog for Free
Do you like this story?
This article is meant for people out there who doesn’t have a blog now and looking forward to start their first blog. Creating a website or blog was a difficult task in the past, however with growth of technology, this is simplified. You can now create blogs for free on various platforms such as Blogger.com, WordPress.com, Livejournal, Xanga.com, Blogr.com, Shoutpost.com and more. I prefer Blogger.com and WordPress.com over the others for newbie who wants to become problogger and make money online.
In this tutorial, I will explain you how to to create your own personal/professional blog using Blogger.com.
Here is the Step by step guide to start a free Blog :
Step 0: Go to the website: https://www.blogger.com/start. You will be instructed to sign in. If you have a Google account for other Google services then select (Sign In) and use your existing user id and password. If you do not have a Google account select (Create a Blog). Fill out the quick info requirements to create an account.
Step 1 : Next you will need to name your blog and choose a URL name.Fill in the word verification form and select continue. Don’t worry about the other options right now. [ Note: I suggest creating the URL name first and (Check Availability) as this may influence what you name your blog. ]
Step 4: At the top of this screen you will find 6 tabs. (Posting), (Comments),(Settings), (Design), (Monetize), (Stats) and (View Blog). (Posting) is where you are now and you would select this tab when you want to post something new. “Settings” applies to features you may want on your blog. (Design) is where you can change your template, fonts and colors, and add gadgets.(Monetize) is where you can find the Google Adsense and other money making ways. (Stats) Provides a basic statistics about your blog. (View Blog) is to get a pick at what your blog looks like.
Though there are many settings which you need to do before you actually start writing your first post. I will be posting about that post soon, but before that go ahead and create your first free blog.If you have any queries at any point, please let me know via comments
