2. Build Your Blog In 3 Simple Steps
To get your website online, just follow the 3 Steps below in the order
I have laid them out for you.
Step 1 – Hosting & Domain - I’ll explain what a domain name and web
hosting is.
Step 2 - Using WordPress - I’ll explain what Worpress platform is and why
it is the best tool for your new website. I’ll also show you (with a video
tutorial) how simple it is to install and use.
Step 3 – Building Your Blog – I’ll share the exact steps to take to get your
site done and online. I will also walk you through the wordpress dashboard,
so you know how to use it correctly.
3. Get Web Hosting
How To Choose the Right Domain Name
• Make it short and easy to spell and preferably no more then 3 words long.
Following these steps will make it easier for people to remember your
websites name.
• If you’re website will be for your small business, then use your business
name as your domain name.
• If you want to branded as an expert in a specific field, then use your own
name as your domain name. I did this for my johnpaulaguiar.com name on
my blog.
• Choose a .com if you can, and a .net as a second choice. .com is what
people automatically relate a website too. the .net is a close second.
• Do NOT use numbers in your domain name.
4. How To Get Web Hosting For Your Blog
To make it easier for you to get started building your website, I only
recommend ONE web host for you to use.

everything myself and beginners need, fast load times, great customer

5. Design Your Blog Using WordPress
The platform that I use and recommend you use for your website is
WordPress.
“WordPress is the system/platform that you build your website on.
WordPress lets you easily build a professional-looking website/blog without
any technical know-how.
2 Reasons I ONLY use WordPress: 1- Easy to use and maintain. 2- It is
COMPLETELY Free.”
WordPress operates from the internet, you can access it through any
browser. Because of this, it works on any device that has internet access.
Everything you need to do in WordPress is located on the left side and
labeled for easy understanding.
Next are 3 screen shots of the most important things you will do inside
WordPress.
