Description
Do you want to start blogging but don't know where to start? Are you unsure how to set up a blog so that you can start earning money with it? Do you know what exactly you want to blog about?
This course will show you how to set up a blog, step-by-step, in the correct way, so that you can make it into a business and earn money. It will walk you through the technical side from setting up WordPress to creating a logo and even how to structure your blog posts so that they rank well on Google. It is tailored for beginners, for anybody who is still very unfamiliar with blogging and the technical set-up.
No idea what to blog about? I have you covered with my niche finding strategy that will help you find YOUR perfect niche that will be profitable as well as something that you love.
This course is for anyone who has a basic understanding of blogging and is overwhelmed by the technical set-up and unsure of their chosen niche.
This course is not so much for people who already have a blog and it's not about how to make money with it, although it will include a lesson on how this will be possible later on once everything is set up correctly. The money making possibilities of your blog will be covered in a separate course, so that the courses are more tailored to suit the individual needs of the students.
This course will get you ready to start your business in the correct way and explains every lesson step-by-step so that it is easy for a beginning blogger.
Who this course is for:
- This course is for anyone who wants to start earning an income from home and is particularly suitable for mothers with small children, carers, people who need to work from home, or retired people who would like to make extra money. It's suitable for anybody who wants to increase their income and who are not afraid of putting in the work.
- This course is ideal for somebody who wants to start a blog but is unsure about how to set it up or has difficulty with the technical side of setting up a blog on WordPress. This course does not focus on how to make money with a blog, this will be covered in a separate course, but it covers how to set up a blog in the proper way so that it can be monetized.
