When you get started on your online, money making journey, there are so many decisions to make. For example you need to decide how to buy a domain name and which domain name to buy etc…read this if you are still at the domain name buying site setting up deciding state.
Once you have climbed that hurdle, next step is to decide how to set up a site. This stage can be especially intimidating if you are new to technologies like html, php etc.
With a Blog like Wordpress …
Once of the best shortcuts you can take at this point is to use a Blog (like Wordpress). This is a lot more simpler and quicker than trying to setup a site. If select a hosting provider like Hostgator, you can setup a wordpress blog with a few simple clicks , and it won’t take more than 3 minutes.
Once you’ve done this the next step is to find a nice blog theme from thousands of themes available for free at http://themes.wordpress.net/
once you have done the above now it’s a simple matter of logging in to your blog to post content.
As and when you post, wordpress will ping and alert the search engines to visit your site. This is automatic promotion for your site, which helps the blog to get indexed in search engines like google in quick time, faster than a simple website would get listed in Google.
All this is easy, and hassle free !
