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:
- Domèn – Domain is the name of the blog which you type in the browser address bar. “www.HostingPill.com” is the domain of this site.
- hosting – 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.
Aprann sou kalite sit entènèt ou ka kreye ak WordPress epi konnen ki jan ou kapab protect the blog yon fwa li se leve.
Gen de fason ou ka achte domèn ak hosting:
- Ou achte domèn ak hosting soti nan lame a menm entènèt
- Oswa ou achte tou de separeman
If you ask me, I would recommend going for Option 2 (buying separately) for two reasons:
- Ou jwenn pi bon kontra lè ou achte domèn ak hosting separeman.
- Ou redwi risk pa achte li nan konpayi separe.
mwen rekomande Namecheap pou resevwa domèn ou ak Bluehost pou web hosting.
Namecheap, kòm non an implique vann non domèn pou yon pri bon, pa gen okenn bezwen achte domèn ou ak hosting nan men founisè a menm se konsa mwen te achte alantou.
BlueHost - Mwen se lè l sèvi avèk Bluehost pou anviwon 8 ane kounye a pou kèk nan sit mwen yo ak yo te jwenn yo dwe trè serye.
In this step by step guide, I’m going to buy a domain, set up web hosting, install WordPress, configure WordPress and then talk about how you can make money blogging.

To add new pages, go to Pages -> Add new, fill in your title, add some content and click publish. If you aren’t ready to publish the page, click draft.

Ki jan yo ajoute paj / Posts nan meni an
To add these pages to the menu, go to Appearance -> Menu. Select your menu and select ‘add to menu’, you can then drag and drop to arrange it.
Themes & Design
With WordPress, it’s really easy to create any design you can imagine without writing a single piece of code. And that is made possible only by WordPress themes.
WordPress has a lot of free theme designs to choose from.
Ki jan yo jwenn tèm nan pafè WordPress
Si ou pa ka jwenn sa ou ap chèche pou isit la, ou ka ale pou plis chwa isit la:
Tèm sa a – One of the oldest and the largest marketplace for WordPress theme. You get tons of high-quality themes at reasonable prices.

Enstale Plugins
Ki sa ki se yon Plugin?
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.
Pou egzanp, si w ap itilize sit WordPress ou nan vann pwodwi sou entènèt li ka benefisye ajoute yon fowòm pou sipò.
Chak fwa ou vle ajoute fonctionnalités nan yon sit WordPress, gade nan grefon anvan ou gade nan kreye yon bagay tèt ou / peye yon pwomotè fè li pou ou.
Enstale grefon yo fasil, pati difisil la ap deside ki grefon ou vle enstale. Gen dè milye de grefon ki disponib pou gratis, gen anpil grefon prim ki disponib tou.
Where I can find more WordPress Plugins?
De resous yo pi byen sou entènèt la pou WordPress Plugins yo se:
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.
Epi gen kèk avantaj ki genyen nan ale pou grefon peye soti nan 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 epi yo pral fikse li pou ou. Ki sa ki nan plis, ou ka pwolonje sipò garanti pou 12 mwa pa peye yon frè nominal.
- Grefon yo se bon jan kalite segondè, byen tcheke pa 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.
Yon fwa ou te deside sou yon Plugin isit la ki jan ou enstale li.
Ki jan yo Enstale yon Plugin WordPress
Etap 1. From the Admin Dashboard select Plugins -> Add New
Etap 2. Chèche Plugin la ou vle, oswa Upload li si ou gen dosye yo
Etap 3. Klike sou Enstale, epi bay li yon kèk minit enstale, pi gwo a Plugin la la ankò li pral pran yo enstale.
Etap 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:
Plugins gratis:
- 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!
- Askimet (Gratis) - Si w menm konsidere ki pèmèt pèmèt kòmantè sou blog WordPress ou, ou bezwen kòmantè Plugin Spam Askimet. Plugin sa a masivman redwi kantite kòmantè Spam ou pral jwenn.
- Yoast SEO (Gratis) – Download this plugin before you download any. It’s a MUST HAVE plugin for SEO.
Peye Plugins:
- Konpozè vizyèl (Peye) – It’s THE BEST Page Builder for WordPress. Just drag and drop and you can create stunning page layouts in minutes. Love it!
- Popups Ninja (Peye) – 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 gen sovgad. And this plugin does just that. It’s a lifesaver!
Kijan pou fè lajan nan Blog ou
Now that you have your WordPress blog nicely set up, with some content, a Slick tèm WordPress, 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
Afilye:
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%.
Gen dè santèn de plan maketing afilye yo deyò, ou ta dwe fè rechèch sa a plis depann sou Tanporèman nich ou a, ou ta dwe etone ki jan anpil konpayi gen rapid. 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.
Piblisite
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.
Sa a se akòz nati a nan piblisite òf yo ka resevwa anons yo mete, nan menm sa a plis 'popilè' blog ou an plis ou ka kanpe touche.
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.
Yon bon konbinezon de tou de estrateji anjeneral rekòmande.
PWOCHEN ETAP YO
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:
- Orè regilye kontni, 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 solisyon automatisation.
- Aprann tout bagay sou SEO (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.
- Kenbe pozitif, 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!
