I started blogging on a regular basis just over a year ago now and I must say that it has been an awesome experience I can well see myself being hooked for life.
So if you have been thinking about starting a blog of your own…. my advice is stop what you are doing and start right this second. You can blog about your interests or use it to help grow your business or make a little cash on the side. The possibilities are endless….. The other thing I would recommend is don’t start off on a free Google blog. They are ok but can become extremely limiting. If you start off using Wordpress (my favorite blogging platform) then you can make it work for you whatever level you are at. Wordpress is very flexible and will grow with your needs.
If you have no idea where and how to start then look no further…. I was speaking to a blogging friend of mine yesterday and he has a great new and free service for anyone who is looking to start a blog.
Kevin’s free blog setup is a simple service which I feel is certainly the easiest way to jump in. If you are wondering what the catch is…. there isn’t one. You simply choose your hosting plan (Kevin makes his cash through referral commission, that’s why he offers you a free service) and Kevin can help you with the rest.
So here is exactly what Free Instant Blog offers:
1. A free email consultation to establish exactly what it is that you want to accomplish with your blog.
2. A professional installation of the latest released version of Wordpress.
3. Basic server setup to include a professional yourname@youraddress.com email address.
4. Spam protection configuration to filter comment spam.
5. Basic Search Engine Optimization of wordpress install, including permalink restructuring.
6. Feedburner account creation and installation that allows tracking, promotion, customization, and possibly monetization of your RSS Feed.
7. Configuration of a robots.txt file to protect areas of your blog to prevent search engine spiders from crawling them.
8. Installation and configuration of 20 plugins and 10 themes to choose from.
So if you want a blog you have nothing to lose. I speak to Kevin very regularily and he is a great guy, so I have no problems vouching for him and I can assure you I am NOT getting paid to write these good things.
Any questions, ask away…
