Create a Realistic Budget
To start generating money from your blog, you'll first need to spend money on it toYou'll need to register for a domain name, which typically costs about $10 to $15 to use for a year. Plus, you'll need to find a hosting website. Some hosting websites enable you to use a domain name for free, including WordPress.com, Weebly.com and Tumblr.com. Other sites require you to pay to host your blog content (think: WordPress.org, GoDaddy.com, Squarespace.com and Blogger.com).
Prices vary, depending on the site, and other factors, such as how many posts you put up and how many visitors your blog gets. For instance, Squarespace can cost $12 to $40 a month, depending on whether you'reunning a blog or turning your blog intwhere you're selling products and running advertisements.
April Lee, who runs LoveOurRealLife.com, a DIY, home decor and organization blog, and lives in Lee's Summit, Missouri, says you should expect to pay a hefty sum to get your blog up and running. "Plan on spending a minimum of $1,000 in the first year to pay for blog hosting, blog theme, monthly email marketing software and basic courses to get started."
Start Writing
Before you invest a dime into your blog, start writing and see if you have the energy and time to write a lot of blog posts. Some blogs have daily posts; many have at least a new post per week. The last thing you want to do is spend a lot of money setting up a blog and a few weeks later decide it's not for you. Once you have a rhythm going, you'll need to carefully consider other logistics, including how lly passionate about, because if you don't, after a month you'll dread writing post after post about something you're just lukewarm about," says John Pham, the Boston-based writer of The Money Ninja blog. "The other requirement is to find something you can write a million things on. Travel, finance and cooking recipes blogs are examples that can have an endless amount of things to draw upon," Pham says.
