Great! Well, let’s get started…

So a blog according to the dictionary is:

blog [blawg, blog] noun1.a website containing a writer's or group of writers' own experiences, observations, opinions, etc., and often having images and links to other websites.

So in it’s simplest terms a blog is just a website that tells the world “Hey! I am here and I have something to say!”

Blogs are great for letting your audience know that you have something to share with them. Maybe an interesting observation, your thoughts and Yes! Even a product that they may want to purchase!

But now you’re probably thinking “This is all great, but what exactly is an “Audience” ”.

Glad you asked that,

According to the dictionary an “Audience” is:

au·di·ence [aw-dee-uh ns] noun1.the group of spectators at a public event; listeners or viewers collectively, as in attendance at a theater or concert: The audience was respectful of the speaker's opinion.

Now, we’re getting there. However, it’s still not the actual definition of what it means in a marketing sense.

Yes, it’s a group of spectators. However, they are targeted to your niche!

niche [nich] noun1.a distinct segment of a market.

So, they’re pretty much just categories. For instance, you could write a blog in the „Health“ niche and that would mean that your blog informs your audience about topics that involve health.

It’s as simple as that!

Brandingyourself!

Branding yourself is super, super important! It seperates you from the rest by giving you something that is unique to you!

Just because the internet is in essence just a connection of servers, this doesn’t mean you can’t brand yourself!

Now keep this in mind. It’s important to get the word out, but how do you want people to remember you?

Well, this is where domains come into play!

No website will work without one. Domains represent the information that can be found on a particular website.

Now that we got the basics down, we shall continue to where you can actually find a domain.

Now let’s say your niche was health, you could go with a domain that looks like this:

HealthTipswithJeremy.com

Now, let’s review this example.

1. It explains your niche!2. It has your name in it! (Obviously change it to

yours!)3. It’s catchy! It’s easy to remember!

However, it’s quite long so I wouldn’t go much longer than this.

Here is a rule of thumb, if you can’t remember your own domain after the first time seeing it, it’s a bad one.

I mean, if you can’t memorize your own domain on the first go, why would you expect your viewers too?

Just make your domain sound creative and you should be gold!

Also, I recommend getting a domain that ends in „.com“. They are more professional than the other domain extensions!

Finding a domain is actually super easy!

Just head on over to GoDaddy.com and get your dream domain today!

They are one of the biggest providers for domains and surely you can find what you’re looking for there!

Purchasing a domain for 1 year is the cheapest, however feel free to purchase them for longer.

In the end it doesn’t really matter!

HostingNow that you got a .com domain from GoDaddy, you’re probably thinking:

„Sweet! Now I purchased my domain, but how exactly can I reach my website?“

Glad you asked that question!

Well, for that we’ll need to get website hosting!

Hosting Providers run your website 24/7 on their dedicated, blazing fast servers.

For that, I recommend HostGator.com!

One of the best providers for your hosting pleasures!

GoDaddy +HostGator

This is an important step and often overlooked!

Click on „I already own this domain“ since we got it from GoDaddy previously!

Also, change the „Billing Cycle“ to 1-month so you won’t pay a ridiculous amount upfront!

Once you purchased hosting, you should get an email with your login information and your nameservers!

Nameservers are very important since they tell the domain where the server is located.

Once you see your Nameservers, follow this guide on how to change the Nameservers of your domain!

It is very important that you don’t visit that domain through the process. Else it may take up to 48 hours for your cache to automatically be cleared and show you the website!

After this process is completed it probably shouldn’t take long for your domain to establish a connection with your hosting.

Once you enter your domain in your browser you’ll most likely see a sample page!

This is great, because it verifies that you have done everything correctly!
