A Blog of Your Own
Blogging is the easiest and quickest way to get your ideas out on the 'net or build a foundation for your online business.
If you aren't the do-it-yourself type, that's OK, we can help you out. We'll help you build your site and provide you with videos and guides to show you how to do all the important tasks for blog ownership.
Starting at $89 - Why is it so inexpensive?
$89 isn't very expensive for a web site, even a blog. How do we do it? we'll ask you sign up for your website hosting on an affiliate link we provide, which earns a commission. That commission defrays our cost and therefore we can charge you less. If you don't want to use the link, that's OK, you just need to sign up for another plan.
If you don't have hosting, great, don't sign up yet, we'll do that together. If you want to know what hosting is going to cost, click here.
If you already have hosting or an existing web site, we can still work together, the process will be different and the price will be higher. Request more information about building a blog on an existing host.
If you want your entire website running on WordPress (which is very easy to maintain and looks great), we do that too.
How does it work?
The process is easy, and won't take much of your time:
- You fill out a simple form to get started
- If we need more information, we'll chat
- We'll send you an invoice and instructions
- You sign up for a domain name and web hosting services
- You let us know it's ready
- We'll install the latest version of WordPress and configure it for you
- We'll install a theme of your choice (here's a site for free themes and we'll give you a guide to picking themes).
- We'll install and configure some basic plugins (backup your blog, get your blog found on the net, etc.)
- Provide you with instructions how to log on, update your blog, respond to comments and do some basic administrative tasks

- Advanced Training. We'll give you access to basic training videos. If you are interested in strategy or advanced customization, that's coaching, and we'll be glad to help.
- Ongoing Tech Support. We'll get you up and running. Blogs are incredibly stable, they rarely break. If something stops running, we are glad to help you on an hourly basis.
- Premium themes. Some are easy, some not so easy. If you have one that you absolutely want to have, let us know when you order, there may be a slight up charge to get it up and running.
- Additional widget and plugins. We have upgrade packs you can add from the get-go, or add in later if you like. If you have something specific in mind, let us know when you order, we'll work with you to figure it out.
Owning your own blog isn't expensive and if you can operate a normal word processing program, you should be able to manage your blog.
Just a reminder: You can't have an existing website hosting. If you do, it will cost a few dollars more, request more information here.

What about web hosting?
If you don't have it, don't get it until we let you know how to do it.
It's not expensive. If you are just getting started, most hosting plans run less than $20 a month, and even cheaper if you sign up for a 12-month plan. Domain names are cheap too, around $10-12 a year. I recommend you sign up for a 5 year reservation – it's cheaper and helps search results.
What about premium themes, additional plugins and other add-ins?
