How To Start A Profitable WordPress Blog With Siteground in 20 Minutes

Starting a blog may seem scary to you, especially if you’re not the most tech savvy person in the world. However, one of the easiest ways to get started is with Siteground Hosting and WordPress.

Maybe you want to blog for personal reasons, maybe you see others making a ton of money on their blog and you want to get in on the action.

Whatever your reason is, rest assured that it’s actually very easy to do. You can follow the simple steps to set up your own blog even if you’re new or not so tech savvy.

Step 1 is Decide Your Niche

What do you want to write about? Maybe you want to start a cooking blog. Maybe you want to start a motivational blog. Maybe you want to simply start a lifestyle blog and blog about your life. Or maybe even a travel blog. The possibilities are endless, and it’s up to you to decide what you will be most satisfied blogging about.

Step 2 is Think Of A Name

Some people definitely overthink this. For me, I knew I wanted to name my blog “Action Taking Mogul” because I feel like a tremendous action taker and it’s brought me so many great results. So, I wanted that to help inspire others to take action with the right guidance and see the same results I ended up getting. Don’t over-complicate it. It can start off as simple as “Jenny’s Budgeting Tips” or “Cooking For All”. You can jot down some ideas on a piece of paper or just wing it. Don’t get too hung up on this step, you can always change the name later too!

Step 3 is Get Your Domain Name and Hosting

I personally love Siteground Hosting. They are actually one of the few hosting providers outside this giant “corporate conglomerate” of hosting providers under a parent company. I personally believe that’s why the support is so amazing as well as the speed and ease of use.

You can either buy your domain direct from Siteground, when you sign up with them you get a free domain. Another option is get it from www.godaddy.com for a very low price (usually $2.99 for the first year). However, the Siteground deal for the free domain is definitely the best option if you’ll be getting their hosting anyway.

As for what kind of domain you want, it can honestly be anything. If you already thought of a title for your blog, you will want to make it the title. Some advice would be to tailor it around what your site is about. For example:

You can call a fishing blog, AwesomeHobbyFishing.com

Or you can call your personal blog, Jessica’sAdventures.com

That should give you an idea of what kind of domain to use. It can also just be your name if you want to personally brand yourself. So FirstnameLastname.com. My best advice would be not to overthink this step or waste too much time trying to make it “perfect”. Think of a cool domain and go with that one.

A lot of people ask about getting a different extension because their main extension (.com) domain is already taken. If you care about eventually ranking in Google for your posts, you will want to try to get a .com domain as they usually rank much easier. If you don’t care, you can go for any other extension.
