I just finished reading an article taken from a magazine,and the author wrote that actually if we really serious about blogging,there are lots of money that we can make from it.
He also said that one of the first stumbling blocks is the costs, but creating a website or blog doesn't have to cost a lot of money,What I learn from that article is :
Buy a Domain - The domain is the first thing you need in order to create a website. The great thing about them is they are so cheap.How much is it cost actually?I've gone and take a look at the prices,and looks like HostGator is offering $4.95 a month deal.Hmm,I think that's pretty cheap for a college girl like me.
Web Hosting - Creating, setting up and connecting domain to your host is really no trouble at all because its easy and HostGator offers tutorial,but GoDaddy is offering web hosting service at the cheapest price we can get right now.
Design - Im a perfectionis and I want the best design I can get for my website theme,I already chose WordPress as my blogging publishing platform.So many theme to choose from,I stumbled across Catalyst Theme,new theme design is coming out soon.I cant wait for it.
Plugins - Looks like using WordPressas my publishing platform,I can choose many plugins.Free one are totally great,andI have my own wishlist.Im going to splash some money on the best opt-in plugin ever made,Popup Domination.The coolest subscriber popup box I have ever seen.
Mailing List - For my mailing lists,I thing for starter,Im going to use just the free version of MailChimp first,trying to figure out actually how the best email marketing like Aweber works out for a newbie like me.
Study - Last but not least,I have to study how blogging works,what should I write,and how to use SEO so that my blogs can attract visitors.Looks like Im going to find Ana Hoffman,the most beautiful blogger I have ever see.She blogs at Traffic Generation Cafe,and of course,she really generates loads of traffic at her website.
Im already started building my blogs,and I wish to make money from it (I hope so).So when will you begin?
