A website may contain a blog page while a blog cannot be a website

DAY 1: MODULES: GOAL SETTING

In this day, you need to decide on what you want to blog about, set your goals and the reasons why you’re launching your website & blog,

You need to set up achievable SMART goals which are

Specific

Measurable

Achievable

Realistic

Time bound

Questions you need to ask yourself

• What am I good at?
• What is my passion?
• What do people ask you about?
• What will I write about?

The above questions will help you decide on what niche and posts/articles you will write about

Some of your goals may include:

• Decide on your niche
• Launch your website & blog
• Publish over six 2000 +blog post
• Generate over 100 backlinks
• Monetize your website & blog

What are the best niches?

• Finance
• Real estate
• Coaching
• Digital marketing
• Blogging
• Travel
• Photography
• sports
• Law
• Relationships/ dating

Plan on how to take action to launch your website & blog

Decide on your niche

A niche is a specific area or topic where your blog or website will be based on

Your niche should be monetize able and you should have knowledge and passion towards it for a long period of time

It should have a high search volume and low competition in the search engine

Reasons for launching and creating your blog

• To document your work
• To make money
• To create a writing portfolio
• To quityour job
• Pay debts
• Get financial freedom

You can use tools like SEMRush or google keyword planner to know the competition, search volumes

You can do keyword research related to your niche and see if there are chances of monetization

Keyword research will help you know what your audience is searching for, this will help you to create content that will entertain and educate your audience

Spy on your competitors by looking at what is working well for them and see which articles are performing better on their websites & blogs

Write over 15 headlines/titles for the articles which are performing well on the websites of your competitors

When creating content, create content that is far better than the one of your competitors

This will help search engines to know that your content is good for your audience which will help you increase visibility in the search engines.

To launch your website & blog requires:

• Choosing Domain name
• getting Web hosting
• installing WordPress
• customizing your theme
• creating content

Choose your domain name

Your domain name is the address that people will type in the search engine so as to access your website or blog

What are the characteristics of a good domain name?

• Short
• Precise
• Specific
• Easy to spell
• Eye catching
• Descriptive i.e tell what your blog is about
• Easy to remember
• Brandable
• Use a.com extension
• Include your target keyword(optional) but this helps your first time visitors to know what your blog is all about

DAY 2: Modules: GET DOMAIN NAME & WEB HOSTING

Web hosting refers to purchasing a server space where your website & blog files and media will be kept

What are the types of web hosting?

• Free web hosting
• Self-hosted web hosting

Why you should not go with a free web host?

• Chances of monetization are very low
• Limit your website customization
• You don’t own the domain name
• They can delete your website/blog without any warning
• They place ads on your blog without your consent

Because of the above I do recommend that you choose a self-hosted website

I do recommend you use Bluehost as the best web hosting provider

WhyBluehost:

You get:

• Free domain name for one year
• Easy 1 click WordPress installation
• Free SSL certificate
• 24/7 customer support
• 30 day money back guarantee
• Cheap price& affordable, only at $3.95/month

Install a free or premium theme

After purchasing your web hosting, you need to install your WordPress theme and customize it for the search engines

A theme will help your website or blog look professional,

I recommend if you can, choose a premium theme called Divi theme

Divi theme is customizable, easy to use, light, improves on your performance and site speed

Now you’re done with installing your theme.

How do you want your posts to appear?

You need to plan the pages that your website will have

These may include:

• About us/me
• Home page
• Contact
• Services
• Blog

Note down how you want your website to appear, you need not to hide posts far away from the home page, your audience should be able to navigate easily through your website or blog post

Now at this stage you need to plan on how your content will be:

Here you need to perform keyword research on what posts are working well in the search engines from your competitor websites

Note down their headlines or titles you’re interested in creating content on

Produce content about topics with high search volume and low competition to rank high in the search engines

Produce at least twenty 2000 word articles on topics with low completion and high search volume in your niche.

While writing your content, include your keywords in the title, headlines and within your content.
