Step 1: Decide on your offer
Before you create your website, you need to decide on your offer. Do you intend to sell services, digital products, or physical products? Wanna showcase your skills and portfolio? Or do you have a passion for writing and want to start a blog? All blogs are websites, but not all websites have a blog.
Step 2: Pick a domain name and hosting plan
In order to start a blog or business website, you need two things — a custom domain name and hosting. These two are non-negotiable. To start a blog, see how to start a WordPress blog on Bluehost. If you’re a creative, entrepreneur, freelancer, small business owner, or want to start an online store, see how to create a WordPress website instead.
Step 3: Customize the design of your site
The look and feel of your website are determined by the theme you use. Whether you’re at the beginning of your journey or you’ve been in business years, learn how to choose a WordPress theme that communicates your brand. Also, go through my blog launch checklist to make sure you haven’t missed anything important.
Step 4: Drive traffic to your site
Boost your traffic and grow your readership with up-to-date practices. Polish your SEO skills to drive organic traffic to your blog, get active on Pinterest, and build an email list of raving fans.
Step 5: Make money
Take advantage of some of the most lucrative income-generating strategies. Sell your own products or services, display ads (check out Ezoic), or master the art of selling someone else’s products aka affiliate marketing (if you are an Amazon associate, avoid making these mistakes).
