Very long but very informative for new people. I used wordpress for my blog because its cheap, easy to use & understand, and theres a lot of flexibility with what you can do.
For creating a simple website/blog its cheap. Using WordPress to create a website is free, however you need to buy a domain and pay for Hosting from a hosting site. I would recommend bluehost as a hosting site too, because of how painless it’s WordPress installation is and once you create a bluehost account a free one-click WordPress installation is included.
Agreed! Thanks for sharing, Angel.
I’m very grateful to read this article. Very well written and nicely framed. Full of information.

Hi Rob, just want to say thank you for such a comprehensive article! I’m knee-deep trying to soak up as much guidance as possible to move forward as quickly as I can, and feeling pretty overwhelmed (!) so I fully appreciate the work you’ve put into all this. Congrats on building the success you have!
My main concern is feeling as though I can’t add value to my niche – i’m not an ‘expert’, it’s really life experience and acquired knowledge I’m sharing, along with the desire to build a community and create awareness, so I cannot sell my services in the same way as perhaps you could at the start, so imposter syndrome aside, I sometimes worry that monetisation won’t be possible for me. But I will start with a goal to add value first and see what follows. Many thanks again!
You’re very welcome, Emma! Love hearing that you’re in “soak it all up” mode. That can definitely be overwhelming, but I think a sense of great clarity can arise out of that phase too.
Please allow me to let you in on a secret… nobody is a truly “expert” beyond what they’ve learned/accrued in terms of personal experience and the lessons they’ve gathered from their real world experience. If you’ve developed a skill, learned a process or otherwise become good at something—then others out there will want to learn that skill/process/ability from you. Plus, the ONLY way you’ll rise to feeling more confident in your expertise, is by working with others and helping them to accomplish similar feats as what you’ve done for yourself.
You’re on the right track… just start connecting with as many of your potential readers as you can. Provide value to them, learn from them and keep working on your positioning in your niche. The monetization opportunities will start to feel more natural (and become more clear) as you get further into your work *with* your readers 🙂

Great work, may be one day I will be like you, writing comprehensively like this. Please can you help on using namecheap instead of bluehost because to me bluehost is expensive, dollars exchange to my country (Nigeria using naira) currency is high. I would have love to use bluehost, but is out of my ability.
Sure, have you tried signing up for your domain and hosting on the Namecheap website yet? Here’s my link to where you can do that: https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=518802&u=1175500&m=46483&urllink=&afftrack=
Let me know if you run into any hurdles along the way and I can help walk you through wherever you’re getting hung up. I’m also always available for more detailed questions via email at ryan @ ryrob .com.
I tried to sign in on namecheap, I don’t really understand the thing. It is not straight like bluehost. Can you tell me the difference between the two, I mean the advantage and disadvantage of the two…
The only time I would recommend Namecheap is if you live in a country that Bluehost doesn’t work with. My advice would be to try out these other monthly hosting companies in this article of mine (lower cost than most hosting plans and they allow you to pay month-to-month): https://staging.ryrob.com/monthly-billed-web-hosting/

Starting a new blog is easy with WordPress if you are not technical enough. WordPress has many free plugins and themes, so you can get started with a little investment.
Agreed!
