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:
- domain – 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.

Téma & Desain
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.

Pasang Plugins
Naon 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.

Dua sumber daya pangsaéna dina internét pikeun Plugin WordPress nyaéta:
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.

Lengkah 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:
Plugin 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) - Upami anjeun ningal ngantep koméntar kana blog WordPress anjeun anjeun peryogi koméntar spam plugin Askimet. Plugin ieu sacara umum ngirangan jumlah komentar spam anu anjeun kéngingkeun.
- Yoast SEO (Gratis) – Download this plugin before you download any. It’s a MUST HAVE plugin for SEO.
Plugin Paid:
- Komposer Visual (Dibayar) – It’s THE BEST Page Builder for WordPress. Just drag and drop and you can create stunning page layouts in minutes. Love it!
- Popup Ninja (Dibayar) – 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 gaduh cadangan. And this plugin does just that. It’s a lifesaver!
Kumaha carana ngadamel artos tina Blog anjeun
Now that you have your WordPress blog nicely set up, with some content, a tema WordPress slick, 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%.
Aya ratusan skéma pamasaran afiliasi di luar, anjeun kedah ngaunggalkeun ieu gumantung kana Ecological anjeun, anjeun bakal kaget sabaraha perusahaan gaduh skema. 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.
Adverts
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.
Ieu kusabab sipat Panawaran pikeun ngajantenkeun iklanna, dina ieu sami langkung 'populer' blog anjeun ku anjeun langkung saé teras ningal earn.
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.
Kombinasi anu alus tina duanana strategi biasana disarankeun.
Hambalan salajengna
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:
- Jadwalkeun eusi rutin, 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 Solusi otomatis WordPress.
- Diajar sadayana ngeunaan 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.
- Jaga positip, 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!
