In 2021, do you want to launch a blog?
If so, you've come to the right location.
Today, I'll show you step-by-step how to start a money-making blog with GreenGeeks
The first
step
is to choose a domain name for your blog. A domain name is a unique identifier for a website if you're not familiar with the word. It instructs the browser to connect to a specific location, similar to how a phone number directs a call to a specific individual. Google.com, Yahoo.com, and GreenGeeks.com, for example, are all domain names. You'll want to keep these things in mind when choosing a domain name for your blog.
Content Relation:: You'll want to make sure the domain name is connected to the type of content you'll be blogging about. If you're starting a blog about your fitness journey, Johns20kJourney.com might be a good starting point. This will inform future visitors about the topic of your blog. It's important to remember that domain names are alphanumeric. You can also build domain names like johns-20k-journey.com by using hyphens (-) in the domain. Be as inventive as possible.
Short & Sweet: This one should go without saying. Make the domain name as short as possible to make it easier for people to remember. Try to keep your sentences to three syllables or less. If you're starting a personal blog, it may be easier to just register your domain name as your full name, such as JohnSmith.com. In the future, you can always change this or park more domains. In the second step, I'll show you how to get a free domain registration or switch (if you have one already registered). That's a yearly value of $28.95.
2. Purchasing a Web Hosting Plan
A web hosting company, such as GreenGeeks, is a company that stores your blog's content and makes it available to visitors via the Internet. There are thousands of web hosting services available, but most go out of business after a few days due to low entry costs, which is why making educated web hosting decisions would save you time and money in the long run. GreenGeeks is the best web hosting company for your blog because of this. We've been in business since 2008, are privately owned, have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, and have been named to the INC 5000 list of America's Fastest-Growing Companies two years in a row. We are also the world's greenest web hosting company. The Internet will be as polluting as the aviation industry by 2020. For every 1 amp we use to power your blog, GreenGeeks will replace it three times with renewable energy. You will be helping to make a positive impact on the environment by hosting with GreenGeeks. GreenGeeks is a top-tier web hosting company that usually costs $9.95 per month, but we are providing our web hosting service for $2.95 per month as part of an exclusive promotional deal for those looking to start a blog. You'll also get a FREE domain name registration or domain transfer (if you already have one), which is worth $28.95 per year. Our service is also backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you have nothing to lose. Here are some of the features you can expect from GreenGeeks' blog web hosting services:
