HOW TO START A BLOG THAT MAKES MONEY! - Tiffy Cooks

preview

My blog has been the most stable income by far and has helped me make FIVE FIGURES a month for the past four months!&nbsp;I recommend posting at least ONCE a week and make sure that each post is HIGH QUALITY. As mentioned in my previous blog post – How I Make Money as a Full-Time Food Blogger, I treat my blog like a full-time job.&nbsp;I dedicate at least 3-4 hours to each blog post, and I am continually taking courses, upgrading my equipment to invest in my blog. (Check out my favorite blogging courses and must have Plugins HERE)&nbsp;When I first started doing my research on starting a blog, I noticed the number one thing every blogger recommended was having a SELF-HOSTED BLOG.&nbsp;FULL CONTROL: You get full control of your blog; this means you are the one deciding where to host your blog and how to customize your blog. Yes, there is some learning curve, but it is so much more worth it to start your blog the right way versus switching down the road. (trust me, it a headache is the switch from hosted sites such as Wix)&nbsp;MONETIZATION: Many Ad management companies such as AdThrive, Mediavine, and AdSense require special plugins on your website. Alot of hosted websites can’t add any plugins to your site. If you are using a self-hosted blog, you won’t run into any issue when applying for Ad Management Companies.&nbsp;CUSTOM DOMAIN NAME: It is much more professional to have a blog with a name of your choice instead of having wix.com or wordpress.com at the end.&nbsp;SEO RANKING: I am not 100% sure, but most blogs find self-hosted website ranks better than hosted websites from my research. SEO Ranking is crucial as it affects the traffic to your blog.&nbsp;Download WordPressMore than 40% of blogs on the web uses WordPress. It has limitless possibilities and over 55,000 plugins to customize your blog to your needs! I am currently using WordPress.org for my self-hosted website.&nbsp;There are two options when it comes to WordPress – wordpress.com, and wordpress.org.&nbsp;To have a SELF-HOSTED site, you must be using wordpress.org.Download WordPress.org on your computer HERE. It is FREE, and this way, you can access your website anywhere, anytime!&nbsp;CHOOSE A HOST&nbsp;There are MANY hosting options. I am currently using SITEGROUND as my host since they provide excellent customer service and handle my blog’s volume (700,000 + users/month).&nbsp;over to other hosts since the first 6-12 months of your blog, you will most likely be slowly building up the traffic to your blog. My blog was mostly private for the first 2-3 months!&nbsp;I went with the CHOICE PLUS option, and it was able to handle my traffic until I hit around 450,000 users a month which is when I made the switch to Siteground. The switch took less than 1 hour, and you don’t have to do anything at all, and they handle everything for you.Siteground also has a beginner option, but it is much more expensive and doesn’t come to a free domain, so I highly recommend using Bluehost when you first start and switch afterward!&nbsp;Here is SITEGROUND’S Pricing:&nbsp;Set up BLUEHOST&nbsp;Go to Bluehost.com and set up your option. If you are doing this part-time, you can start with just the simple plan, but if you plan on doing this full time, I recommend using the CHOICE PLUS option for your first year!&nbsp;PICK A DOMAIN NAMEIf you are not ready to settle with a&nbsp; name yet, Bluehost also gives you credit to your account AFTER you checkout so you can think it through.&nbsp;PAYMENT&nbsp;Unfortunately, you cannot just pay monthly with Bluehost, and you have to choose between 12,24, or 36 months upfront. I recommend picking the 12 or 24-month option. I did the math with other hosting sites, and since it comes with so many free options and the monthly cost is so low, BlueHost is the most affordable option.&nbsp;DESIGN YOUR WEBSITE&nbsp;I started my blog too late, so I was in a RUSH. I wanted my blog to look professional, and I didn’t have time to design it slowly, so I got my blog template off 17th Avenue Designs.&nbsp;They have professional and cute designs, and it was straightforward to install them myself. You can also pay for them to install it for you as well! I am currently using the MIA Professional Theme myself.&nbsp;There are also alot of Etsy shops where that sell templates, and WordPress also comes with alot of FREE options. Buying a template is a MUCH more affordable and quick option compare to hiring a website designer.&nbsp;I currently have a part-time contractor that supports me on my blog whenever I have IT issues, technical questions, or need large changes to my blog. I pay around $65/hour for this service.&nbsp;And THAT’S IT!&nbsp; 6 simple steps to start a blog in less than 1 hour 🙂&nbsp;How I Make Money as a Full-Time Food Blogger (5 Figures a month!)My Journey from a Corporate 9-5 to a Full-Time Food blogger&nbsp;My top courses, equipment, and app for food bloggersYoutube Video answering ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS! &nbsp;HOW I TRANSITIONED FROM A CORPORATE 500 9 – 5 TO FULL-TIME FOOD BLOGGEROne of my most asked questions is always, “how did I become a full-time food-blogger?” Believe it or not, I don’t have any background working with food.
