Now let’s learn about starting up the blog or website :

Here are some technical things to start blogging :

1. To start blogging you will need to select a good CMS (Content Management System) which can be WordPress.
   
   
2. You will need a Domain and Hosting to start your website.
   
   
3. Then as per your interest you can select any niche for your website. So that around that topic or niche you can grow your website.
   
   
4. Then for the money or financial aspect you can go for various affiliate opportunities.
   
   
5. Additionally there are some ad networks also that you can select.
   

Now let’s see in detail :

1) Selecting CMS :

CMS or content management system is kind of a software that enables you to present or publish your content in a desired manner. WordPress, Squarespace, Joomla, Wix are different ways you can publish your materials.

Here is an article regarding WordPress.Org Vs WordPress.com that you should read. So in short WordPress.Org is the thing you will definitely would like to go for.

WordPress is a simple and well known CMS which is widely used because of its continuous evolution over the period of time.

Here are some reasons to go for WordPress.Org :

1) ) If you just want to start blogging as a hobby then you might like WordPress.com or Blogger. But even there you have plenty of limitations to face and that will eventually push you towards WordPress.Org which is free.

2) People move to WordPress.Org because of many reasons. The main reason is liberty with content. You own your content completely. You are in control when you are using WordPress.Org.

3) The other reason why people go for WordPress is because WordPress.Org is completely free.

4) So I would suggest starting with WordPress.Org only. Because there is an element of making Money here along with blogging. Moreover seeing many other factors WordPress.Org can be a great option.

2) Getting a Domain name :

Domains are like your website address. So searching you domain name people can find your website over the Internet.

Talking about domains you will get Domains in cheaper rates from GoDaddy or Namecheap.

You can also get a free domain name for a year with most of the Web Hosting these days. Web Hosts like GreenGeeks (affiliate link), TMDhosting (affiliate link) give away free domain names for a year. You can try seeing some good Web Hosts here.

Talking about who will read your content. Well it might take time but you can drive traffic through social media.

Regarding who will read your content it is seen that the more content you get on your site the more visibility your website will get over the Internet. So if you write valuable and relevant content regularly the content itself will drive people to your website.

3) Getting a Hosting :

Hosting is something like a place where your whole website resides. If Domain is an address then Hosting can be called as a location.

Basically a server is provided to your website which connects your whole website with the rest of the world through internet and that’s what is called hosting.

To get a good web host you can either go to our Quick Advice Page or to know more you can read this article where you can get some basics regarding selecting any hosting.

For domain and hosting you pay money to own Domain and Hosting so that eventually your website can run over the internet. Don’t worry price is not that costly.

GoDaddy will bring you the cheapest Domain and HostGator or MilesWeb can get you the cheapest hosting. For more Hosting options go to Quick Advice page.

It’s like Domain is your website address and Hosting your website location over the internet. So these two are essential things to start your own website.

4) Selecting the Niche :

Niche can be called the topic or direction of your whole website or blog.

Niche is like the specialty of your website.

For example : You like to cook a lot and you decide to make a website or blog dedicated to recipes and cooking. So cooking is called your website niche.

Now there are two ways to select any niche for your website or blog :

1. Select the niche that you are passionate about or that you think it generates interests in you.
   
   For Example : You are already passionate about soccer then you don’t need to learn much about it. It is just that you need to learn how you are going to present soccer from within on to your website. You learn with time. Right !!
   
   
2. Select the niche on the basis of your skills and experience.
   
   For Example : You are very good at teaching English. So teaching English is the skill that you already have. You don’t have to learn it. And if you love teaching English then you will do wonders.

So it’s always important that you select a niche that you know something about or either the niche creates good amount of curiosity within you. Selecting niche on the basis of your skills or experience will also do great.

Now about money related things :

There are three main ways you can generate income or money out of your blog or website :

1. Affiliate marketing.
   
   
2. Ads networks.
   
   
3. Your own Courses.
