How to Start your own Website

Choosing a Name

When I was trying to find a name for my website that fit me, it was tough. I thought about it for a month, constantly writing down ideas that popped in my head. Then one night I sat down and actually did a domain search to see if any of them were taken. This is what really helped me to decide. After about an hour of playing with every idea I had written down, Exploring Life’s Beauty was chosen. So when you are choosing a name, I recommend writing down a few ideas and searching them here:

Free Hosting or Paid Hosting?

If you want to make money from your new website (who doesn’t?), then you will want a Bluehost / WordPress website. It is extremely hard to make any money from free sites like Blogger or Blogspot. But when you pay just a tiny amount each month for your own website, you can have advertisements, affiliate links, or even sell your own products. 

Bluehost is one of the top web hosting companies this year and I am so glad I chose them! You can start your own website for only $3.95 a month!! (This price is only valid through this link.) Also, if you sign up through this link, you get your domain name for FREE. (yay!) 

I’m So Glad I Started

When I started, I literally had no clue about what I was doing. I did a lot of research, but everything was still so confusing. What helped the most was just choosing a name and buying Bluehost. Then after that, I could figure it out. And it was so much fun. I love searching through the themes and picking what colors I want my website to be. I love writing about things I’m passionate about then being able to see how many people read it and appreciate it. 

You are going to love it. I definitely recommend Bluehost and WordPress. (WordPress is FREE when you host with Bluehost!) The number one thing that helped me was writing. I know so much more about how to do everything. When I first started I was so lost. But I did it! And I’m so glad I did! Do you want to make money? (Turn your hobby into a business!) I recommend signing up for Amazon Affiliate. It’s so easy and I think it’s the best.
