Creating a blog


In my first week of my journey on how to make money online, I discovered that one of the best channels in making money online was either through a website or a blog on which I could advertise.

I choose to create a blog rather than a website mainly because apart from it being the easiest to create it was free to. In as much as there were several blog hosting platforms, the most popular were Blogger and Wordpress. I choose Blogger and within 30 minutes I had created my first blog http://albertopoku.blogspot.com .

You don't have to know website design or HTML or any of the technical stuff to create a blog on Blogger . Just follow theses 4 steps and you will create your first blog in not more than 30 minutes:

  1. Create a Gmail account, even if you already have a Gmail account, I suggest you create another one and keep your old one for your personal mails.
  2. Go to Blogger .
  3. Use your Gmail account to create a new blog.
  4. Just follow the instructions and you will be done in less than 30 minutes

One last word!
If you intent to blog, make sure you have a clear idea about what you will be blogging on, I found out that the success of a blog depends hugely on the content. In choosing the URL for your blog, just make sure it marches with the content, as it makes it easier for people to know what the content of the blog is about just from the URL address.

I made that mistake with my first blog, but got it right with the second

http://lets-inspire.blogspot.com/ - by just reading the URL you can easily tell that this blog is about Inspiration, that is not the case with my first blog http://albertopoku.blogspot.com from which you can not tell that it’s about financial intelligence.
