Today I am going to show you how to start a blog from scratch. And you won’t believe how easy it is to do.
So, let’s start your blogging journey!
We will need 4 things:
- domeinu – Domain is the name of the blog which you type in the browser address bar. “www.HostingPill.com” is the domain of this site.
- Ostatua – Hosting is the “home” of your blog where it will “stay”. It is usually a server at a web hosting company.
- WordPress – WordPress is the “software” that will power your new blog.
- Design & Themes – To make your blog attractive design-wise you will need to install WordPress themes.
Ikasi buruz webgune motak WordPress-ekin sor dezakezu eta nola jakin dezakezu protect the blog behin gora eginda.
Domeinuak eta ostatua erosteko bi modu daude:
- Web ostalari beraren domeinuak eta ostatuak erosten dituzu
- Edo biak bereizita erosten dituzu
If you ask me, I would recommend going for Option 2 (buying separately) for two reasons:
- Eskaintza hobeak lortzen dituzu domeinuak eta ostatuak bereizten dituzunean erosiz gero.
- Arriskuak murrizten dituzu konpainia desberdinetatik erosiz.
gomendatzen dut NameCheap zure domeinuak eskuratzeko eta Bluehost web ostatuetarako.
NameCheap, izenak domeinu izenak prezio onean saltzen dituenez, ez da zure domeinua eta hornitzaile berarengandik erosi beharrik erosi.
BlueHost - Ni naiz erabiliz Bluehost orain dela 8 urte inguru nire guneetako batzuentzat eta nahiko fidagarriak direla iruditu zait.

instalatu Plugins
Zer da plugin bat?
Plugins – as the name suggests are tools that add functionality to your WordPress blog. The best thing which I like about WordPress is – these plugins.
Plugins can turn your site from a simple blog to a fully-featured e-commerce store, a user forum, a video streaming site, a member’s only site, and much more. Of course, you can combine most of these plugins together to add huge functionality to your blog.
Adibidez, zure WordPress gunea produktuak linean saltzeko erabiltzen baduzu, onuragarria izan daiteke laguntza foro bat gehitzea.
WordPress gune bati funtzionaltasuna gehitu nahi duzunean, bilatu pluginak zure buruari zerbait sortzen hasi aurretik / garatzaile bati zuregatik egin dezan.
Pluginak instalatzea erraza da, zati gogorra zein pluginak instalatu nahi dituzun erabakitzen ari da. Doako plugin ugari daude eskuragarri, premium plugin ugari ere eskuragarri daude.
Where I can find more WordPress Plugins?
WordPress-en pluginentzako Interneteko bi baliabide onenak hauek dira:
1. WordPress.org – Tons of free plugins! But beware – some of the plugins are demo versions of the paid ones. Still, it’s a good place to find what you are looking for.
2. CodeCanyon – Home to some of the best plugins on the internet. Although they are paid, they offer really good value for money. I usually get my plugins from here.
Gainera, ordaindutako pluginak erabiltzearen abantaila gutxi daude CodeCanyon:
- You get 6 months of free support from the plugin developer. So, if something is not working, you can approach the plugin developer via CodeCanyon eta konponduko dute zuretzako. Are gehiago, berme laguntza 12 hilabetez luza dezakezu tarifa nominala ordainduta.
- Pluginak kalitate handikoak dira eta ondo egiaztatu dira CodeCanyon. So, there are no chances of any malware in them. I had a bad experience in the past when I bought some free plugins from some random site.
Plugin bat erabaki ondoren, hona nola instalatzen duzun.
Nola instalatu WordPress plugina
Urratsera 1. From the Admin Dashboard select Plugins -> Add New
Urratsera 2. Bilatu nahi duzun plugin-a edo igo itzazu fitxategiak baldin badituzu
Urratsera 3. Egin klik Instalatu eta eman minutu batzuk instalatzeko, orduan eta handiagoa izango da plugin-a zenbat eta denbora gehiago beharko duen instalatzeko.
Urratsera 4. From the Plugins -> Plugins page activate your plugin, depending on the plugin you are using you may then be prompted to fill in some additional settings.
Here are some of my favorite Plugins:
Doako Pluginak:
- Contact form 7 (Free)– This is a simple free email contact form for your blog. It’s easy to set up, always works, and doesn’t take up much space!
- Askimetroa (Doakoa) - Zure WordPress blogean iruzkinak baimentzen ari bazara ere, Askimet iruzkinen plugin-a behar duzu. Plugin honek masiboki murriztuko duzu lortuko duzun spam iruzkin kopurua.
- Yoast SEO (Doakoa) – Download this plugin before you download any. It’s a MUST HAVE plugin for SEO.
Ordaindutako pluginak:
- Visual Composer (ordaindua) – It’s THE BEST Page Builder for WordPress. Just drag and drop and you can create stunning page layouts in minutes. Love it!
- Ninja Popups (ordaindua) – If you ever want to have the ability for the user to signup for your email newsletter from your blog, this is the plugin to have. Few clicks and you get a beautiful popup done.
- BackupGuard (Paid) – It’s too easy to accidentally break your WordPress blog when installing a 3rd Party Plugin or theme, make sure you always babeskopiak izan. And this plugin does just that. It’s a lifesaver!
Nola irabazi dirua zure Blogetik
Now that you have your WordPress blog nicely set up, with some content, a soineko WordPress gaia, and some great functionality added by Plugins it’s time to monetize your blog! There are two core methods to for making money from your blog, and everything boils down to these
Affiliate:
Affiliate marketing is where you promote other company’s products directly and earn a commission from any sales made.
For example, say you have a football blog, you could add affiliate links to football boots in your posts and make a commission off any boots sold, typically this would be 5 – 15%.
Badira ehunka kidea marketin eskemak hor, zure ikerketa nitxo arabera gehiago aztertu beharko zenuke, harrituta geratuko zara zenbat enpresek dituzten eskemak. Amazon offers one of the most popular ones, it’s easy too!
Add special affiliate links to ANY product on the Amazon and make a commission of 4 – 10%. Amazon may not be the best paying site (this will vary wildly depending on the niche of your blog), but they do offer a HUGE range of products.
iragarkiak
Adverts are simple, got spare space on your blog, place an advert, often you will find these placed in the sidebar and within the content of any articles. Adverts can generate anything from $0.05 to $5 per click depending on the niche of your blog.
Google AdSense is the de facto online advertising company, simply fill in a 2-page signup form and you can start serving adverts to all your visitors. You don’t have to talk directly to companies to sell your advertising space.
Google’s advertising pay-outs differ massively from niche to niche, a highly competitive niche like credit cards, insurance, loans, etc.. will pay higher than less competitive ones.
Iragarkien iragarkiak lizitatu nahi dituzten iragarleen izaeragatik da, blog honetan zenbat eta ezagunagoa izan, orduan eta etekin handiagoa ateratzeko.
Typically, you might expect something like a 0.5 – 3% click-through rate, i.e. the number of your visitors who actually click on the adverts.
Bi estrategien konbinazio ona gomendatzen da normalean.
Hurrengo Urratsak
Now that your WordPress blog has been set up and you’ve monetized it’s time to start expanding and really pushing your blog.
Here are my top tips going forward:
- Antolatu ohiko edukia, you won’t always be in the mood to write content, use the built-in post scheduler so you can write multiple posts when you feel like it while still allowing regular content to flow. Articles every few days are better than 5 on the same day. Here is another WordPress automatizazio irtenbidea.
- Ikasi SEO-ri buruz dena (search engine optimization) that you can, this is a huge topic, you will never fully learn it, but the more you know the more successful blog will be.
- Mantendu positiboa, your blog will unlikely blossom overnight, it takes months of hard work, but in the end dedication and good content pays off.
Good luck and start blogging!
