<h1>Hello, I'm so excited that you've chosen to start a blog. In the beginning, you were probably wondering, how do I start a blog. In step one we talked about developing your blog strategy and you downloaded the planner to help you out. In step two we talked about creating your domain name and getting hosting.<h1>
I truly hope that the Blog Biz Profits Planner has helped you to map out your blog strategy and that you've picked a domain name that works for you.
<h2>Now we're moving on to the final factors of starting your blog which is blog setup and promotion. In this post, I'll show you (step-by-step) how to set up your blog with WordPress. In a later post, I'll show you how to promote your blog too.<h2>
How To Setup Your WordPress Blog
After you've picked your domain name and hosting, you'll need to install WordPress, pick a design theme, and install a few plugins.
Trust me, installing your theme is easier than you think. Your hosting service will walk you through everything. There are a few simple clicks, and you'll be up and running in no time.
During the installation process, you'll be asked to pick a theme. Don't stress too much over the design options, because you can change your theme later, once your blog is set up.
After you've picked your design it may take a few minutes for the installation to take effect. But breath easy, because it will tell you when your site is ready.
<h3>After the site is ready, you can install some plugins that will help your site run more efficiently. The main one to install is Jetpack. Jetpack will provide you with highly recommended plugins to run your new blog.<h3>
It will also provide you with data about your site so you can build your audience and measure what's working and what isn't. I also recommend Yoast because it will help you with optimizing your site for major search engines.
It may be hard to understand right now. Especially if you've never built a WordPress blog. That's why I've created a video to help you get through the process.
