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:
- dominju – 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.
- Disinn u Temi – To make your blog attractive design-wise you will need to install WordPress themes.
Tgħallem dwar il- tipi ta ’websajts tista 'toħloq ma' WordPress u taf kif tista ' protect the blog ladarba jkun qam.
Hemm żewġ modi kif tista 'tixtri oqsma u hosting:
- Tixtri oqsma u hosting mill-istess web host
- Jew tixtri t-tnejn separatament
If you ask me, I would recommend going for Option 2 (buying separately) for two reasons:
- Ikollok offerti aħjar meta tixtri dominji u tospita separatament.
- Għandek tnaqqas ir-riskju billi tixtrih minn kumpaniji separati.
jien nirrekomandalek Namecheap biex ikollok id-dominji tiegħek u Bluehost għall-akkoljenza tal-web.
Namecheap, kif jimplika l-isem tbiegħ l-ismijiet tad-dominju għal prezz tajjeb, m'hemmx bżonn li tixtri d-dominju tiegħek u tospita mingħand l-istess fornitur u għalhekk għandi l-ħwienet.
BlueHost - Jien jużaw Bluehost għal madwar 8 snin issa għal uħud mis-siti tiegħi u sibthom li huma pjuttost affidabbli.
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.
Kif Tibda BlogPass 1. Irreġistra d-Dominju Tiegħek
NOTA: Jekk diġà għandek dominju, tista 'taqbeż dan u tmur direttament

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.

ThemeForest – One of the oldest and the largest marketplace for WordPress theme. You get tons of high-quality themes at reasonable prices.

Installa Plugins
X'inhu 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.
Pereżempju, jekk qed tuża s-sit WordPress tiegħek biex tbiegħ il-prodotti onlajn jista 'jkun ta' benefiċċju li żżid forum għall-appoġġ.
Kull meta trid iżżid funzjonalità ma 'sit ta' WordPress, ħarsa mal-plugins qabel ma tħares lejn il-ħolqien ta 'xi ħaġa lilek innifsek / tħallas lill-iżviluppatur biex tagħmel dan għalik.
L-installazzjoni ta 'plugins hija faċli, il-parti iebsa qed tiddeċiedi liema plugins trid tinstalla. Hemm eluf ta 'plugins disponibbli b'xejn, hemm ukoll ħafna plugins premium disponibbli.
Where I can find more WordPress Plugins?
L-aħjar żewġ riżorsi fuq l-internet għal WordPress Plugins huma:
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.
U hemm ftit vantaġġi biex tmur għal plugins imħallsa minn 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 u huma se jiffissaw għalik. Barra minn hekk, tista 'testendi l-appoġġ tal-garanzija għal 12-il xahar billi tħallas tariffa nominali.
- Il-plugins huma ta 'kwalità għolja, iċċekkjati sewwa 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.
Ladarba tkun iddeċidejt dwar plugin, hawn kif tinstallah.
Kif Installa Plugin WordPress
Pass 1. From the Admin Dashboard select Plugins -> Add New
Pass 2. Fittex għall-plugin li trid, jew ittella 'jekk għandek il-fajls
Pass 3. Ikklikkja Installa, u tagħtiha ftit minuti biex tinstalla, akbar ikun il-plugin iktar ma ddum tieħu biex tinstalla.
Pass 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 Ħieles:
- 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 (Ħieles) - Jekk qed tikkunsidra li tippermetti kummenti fuq il-blog WordPress tiegħek għandek bżonn il-plugin tal-ispam tal-kumment Askimet. Dan il-plugin inaqqas bil-kbir in-numru ta 'kummenti tal-ispam li se tirċievi.
- SEO Yoast (Ħieles) – Download this plugin before you download any. It’s a MUST HAVE plugin for SEO.
Plugins imħallsa:
- Kompożitur Viżwali (Imħallas) – 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 (Mħallsa) – 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 għandhom backups. And this plugin does just that. It’s a lifesaver!
Kif Tagħmel Flus mill-Blog tiegħek
Now that you have your WordPress blog nicely set up, with some content, a roqgħa tema 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
Affiljat:
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%.
Hemm mijiet ta 'skemi ta' kummerċ affiljat hemmhekk, għandek tirriċerka dan skond in-niċċa tiegħek, tkun sorpriż kemm il-kumpaniji għandhom skemi. 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.
reklami
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.
Dan minħabba n-natura ta 'dawk li jirreklamaw li jagħmlu l-offerti biex ipoġġu r-riklam tagħhom, f'dan l-istess il-blog tiegħek l-iktar "popolari" l-aktar li tista' toqgħod taqla '.
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.
Taħlita tajba taż-żewġ strateġiji hija normalment rakkomandata.
Passi li jmiss
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:
- Skeda l-kontenut regolari, 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 Soluzzjoni ta 'awtomazzjoni WordPress.
- Tgħallem kollox dwar 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.
- Ibqa ’pożittiv, 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!
