How to Start a Successful Blog (Step-by-Step Walkthrough for Beginners)

I'm thinking about starting a blog...but every time I go for it my fears stop me after seeing this trial I feel like I'm ready.

Awesome video content I really like it

I was looking at this video and getting ready to sign-up for Bluehost. There is an option for shared hosting. Is this the options I should be signing up for if I want to start a blog using WP?
Thanks

How do taxes work with having a blog?

Thank you, this was the best video on this subject. I will definitely let you know when I get started. Thanks

Thank you for the simplicity!! I am able to come back to these videos and see where I am getting "stuck" and work it out. I look forward to learning more about themes and how to make my very first blog successful!!

this was very helpful! I also like your unpretentious style.

Amazing

I just signed up through your affiliate link for a basic Bluehost site. In thinking big, I wanted to know whether, if my traffic grows enough before the end of my initial term to warrant this, I would be able to switch to one of the higher-level sites without losing my initial term discount. So I called Bluehost directly, I was promptly connected with Cory, who told me (if I understood him correctly) that yes, I could switch over mid-term, and I would be charged at the new subscriber rate with the upgraded plan for the balance of the term I'd originally signed up for. I'm posting this here just in case other people might have the same question.

Great stuff Alex. I'm very excited to start, it is actually consuming me! I couldn't sleep last night with so much information running through my head. I do have a question. I already have a domain name that I got before I found you and Lauren. Once I get started, I want to choose another domain name with Bluehost and be able to use both. Will I have to set up another account or can I link the two domain names? Basically, I want to have my blog and be able to somehow point it to my writing business. Thank you!

I like the video. It is simple, clear and suitable for beginner

Great tutorial! I love how you included how to make your first blog post along with showing how to get the blog started. I once made the mistake of not signing up for privacy and had a bunch of people contact me to sell me SEO. I now sign up for privacy every time I buy a new domain. Thank you!

Is it possible to update my blog from being the free wordpress version to the paid one for me to apply ads or i will have to create a new blog from scratch
?

How much time do you feel you need to put in per day to get started building your business?

I am facing a problem sir. I joined your bluehost and immediately after paying them using my credit card, my transaction for processed ( as shown in my email) but the page remains at the payment page showing in red "Credit card has been declined". Could you please help me

Thank you for sharing all this information for free. You've done an amazing job!

Subscribed! Very informative, question: When signing up with bluehost is it a monthly payment or one up front payment?

It has been very helpful for new blogger. Thank you for making and sharing this video. Will continue to watch all the other videos.

I just had someone set up my blog for free and she used genisis framework and I have never in my life ran a blog. Thrn she gave me a million plug ins to add which cost so much money all of her affiliates which I get because I would like to use affiliate marketing too but she has made things now impossible for me to figure out im so close to walking away from it but I really want to create content. So praying I can figure it out from this video. I don't have any idea about codes but I do want to monetize but I'm drowning at this point. At least it feels that way

thank you, This is very hepful

Thanks for all the info really appreciate it started blog a couple weeks ago really excited!

Really useful information thank you! :-)

thank it was helpful

This is the first time I've understood those concepts about blogging and especially WordPress, the others make it so complicated and expensive that it feels counterintuitive, thanks for the help and effort you put into making our lives easier

I have wanted to start a blog for a little over a year now but I always allowed the fear to hold me back. I stumbled on this channel through pinterest almost as sign from above and I was so inspired to take a leap of faith and start my blog. Thank you for all the great information ya'll provide. I am excited to take your course Launch Your Blog to get everything set up!!

This has been very helpful. Looking forward to watching many more of your videos!

did you register your domain name with bluehost?

Thank you so much that was helpful.

Started a new blog and used your blue host affiliate. Glad I can contribute to you as it is the least I can do for all of your help in your how to and tips and help videos. Thanks again. I hope to have more success with this blog than I have had with previous blogs and websites. lol

I have a free wordpress that I set up before I started doing research on blogging. Can I transfer it over to bluehost or would I need to start over?

This is truly a great video. I’m learning so much from your channel and hopefully I’ll be able to create a successful blog too!

Alex, I just posted my first blog thanks to you. Yet I find this to be a bit 'scary' but so excited, all in the same breath!!!
Thank You So Much For All Your Content!!! Much Love To You & Lauren! ❤ kg.

Very helpful to this wannabe blogger. Have been THINKING about starting a blog for a year, but with your encouragement I think I am ready to commit! Great information on Blue Host, Divi and Word Press...especially Word Press. I had planned on starting with an "easier" process, but am no longer intimated to launch out with Word Press through your site.

Hi So I was thinking of starting 2 blogs that I’m passionate about. Do you think is wise to start both at the same time or leave a gap and see how everything goes with one?

I might have overlooked something, but do you pay twice? Once for Bluehost and once for Wordpress? The planning for starting my blog is getting REAL!!!

Hello. Thanks for the great video. Btw I want to ask how you create your logo perfectly. I am using Divi Theme now and I dont know where I can create my logo and what size should I use for my logo. Hope you can help me with this. :)

Thanks for sharing with us all these usefull tips ! Really helps a lot

I would like to ask.. If you ever decide to stop blogging... How do you stop paying the 2.95 dollar per month? And... Is your blog taken off if you stop paying or is it still there for people to see but you cannot publish anymore? Thanks! 😁
