If you need to get a professional-looking blog or website up in a hurry… and don’t know ANYTHING about website design… and don’t want to spend HUNDREDS of dollars on a professional web designer… here’s what you need to do.
You can get a very professional-looking, easy-to-use website up and running in ONE HOUR. It will cost you about $7.95 per month for the web hosting and nothing else. What’s more, each ADDITIONAL website you create will only cost you $10 per year.
Here’s how.
Step 1: Sign up for a web hosting account with BlueHost.com. It will cost you about $95 for a whole year but you can get it for as little as 3 months, if you want something temporary. This price INCLUDES the cost of the domain name… unlimited email addresses… and, if you want to create another website, the additional website is only $10 for the whole year (including domain name). This step only takes about 5 minutes.
Step 2: Install WordPress on the BlueHost account. If you don’t know how to do that, watch the video below that explains everything in just 21 minutes. The actual amount of time it takes to install WordPress on the BlueHost system is about 1 minute.
That’s it. The beauty of this approach is that it lets you create unlimited websites for just $10 per year… including the domain name AND webhosting. You can’t beat that.
Step 3: Pick a FREE WordPress template that you like from the hundreds that are available through WordPress. We will cover this in a future video.
Step 4: Design a professional-looking BANNER for the top of your site. This, too, will be covered in another video.
Step 5: Create the pages and posts you want for your site. These can include products and services, sale items, contact information, you name it. Use the blogging (center) section of the WordPress template to write regular updates.
That’s it! This entire process should take no less than about 30 minutes, tops.
