Starting a website is one of the best-kept secrets for making money and passive income. Let’s get you set up with your own WordPress blog today!
5 reasons to create a website
- Worth it just for your résumé and a professional email address
- Generate passive income (make money in your sleep – keep reading)
- Gives you freedom to work from anywhere
- It’s ridiculously easy and affordable (and fun)
- So my grandma doesn’t show you up… here’s what you’re up against:
4 steps to create a website
01: Choose and register a domain name
- Choose and register a domain name.
- A domain name is what people type into their browser to view your website. OUDARAB.COM is a domain name.
- It’s also used for email, such as Info@oudarab.com
- There’s a wide range of domain name extensions available, including .com, .org, .net, .info, .biz.
2. Setup website hosting
The “Basic” package is more than enough for most new websites, and you can uncheck the other paid options for now if you don’t want them.
3. Choose a WordPress theme
Now you’ll be asked to choose the initial theme design for your new site!
I recommend selecting “Ocean WP” because it’s free and versatile for any kind of site (even e-commerce). You can always change it later if you like.
Hover over the panel and then click “Use this theme”. It can take a few minutes to be applied.
4. Add some content
On your hosting platform control panel click “Login to the WordPress” to get going.
WordPress makes it easy to start writing content that looks great. Clicking on “Posts” > “Add New” will open up the editor window, which allows you to build, format, and write your post without any need for code.
