HOW TO START A BLOG

Starting a blog is not difficult, you can have your website up and running in less time than it takes to make a really good cup of coffee. (a reheat it in the microwave a few times because the kids asked for a snack and you forgot about your coffee)  

You also don’t need to know code to start a successful blog. I’ve had numerous grandmas reach out to me to help them set up their blogs from scratch. And by golly, if they can learn how to blog at 65 years old, you can do it too. No excuses! Even a grandma can do it! 🙂

This in-depth guide will walk you through it step by step. Let’s get started!

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO START A BLOG?

Blogging is hands down one of the most inexpensive sides hustles to start. Basically, all you need is a website and a good internet connection. Of course, you can get fancy and pay for an expensive theme and logo, use super-advanced tools or pay $5,000 for someone to design your website for you. But really, you don’t need any of that when you’re just starting.

The only expense you have to pay for when you’re just starting a blog is a good host. A host is a company that manages the servers (computers) to store all of your blog files (pictures, posts, etc) and makes them available online. In short, it’s a computer that’s always connected to the internet. And on this computer, aka server, live your blog files.

To host your files on this computer that’s always on and connected to the internet, costs less than a cup of Starbucks coffee per month. For less than $3 per month, you can have a blog that is accessible by the entire world!

Starting a brick and mortar store would cost thousands per month in just rent alone, and you’ll only have access to the hundred or so people that walk by your store each day. 

The essential tools you need to start a blog:

1. Good Host – less than $5 per month
2. Internet Connection
3. Dedication

Fancy tools you can get later as your blog grows:

1. Professional Theme ($50 – $250)
2. Email Marketing ($10+ per month)
3. Shopping Cart ($9+ per month)
4. Online Course Hosting ($30+ per month)
5. Membership ($10+ per month)
6. Premium Plugins

You can grow a money making blog without fancy tools. With the essential tools I listed above, you can easily grow your blog to $1,000 per month and then look into more advanced tools when you’re ready.
