A Network Marketing blog is your very own online recruiting machine. But why setup one? Here are some reasons you need a Home Business blog: Having your own income-generating asset, allowing you to generate MLM prospects.
Additionally, Google, FaceBook, Youtube, Yahoo and Twitter capture a large proportion of all daily internet traffic. Your MLM will allow you be found on the internet by a lot of internet users.
In only four simple steps, you can have your very own Network Marketing blog. You can create your MLM blog on many different platforms. Though you create the blog, the particular platform can remove it whether you object to it or not.
In effect, you have absolutely no control. Should the platform go down for any reason, your MLM blog goes down as well. If you work on improving your search engine listings, you are in effect not doing yourself any favor.
So when choosing a blog platform for your MLM blog, careful thought must go into the platform you choose.
Owning and controlling everything when it comes to your MLM blog will move your business forward.
Though a blog is very simple to set up on the platforms mentioned above, if you are looking to develop your home business blog into a real valuable asset, you’re best setting it up on WordPress.org, the blogging platform of choice for all home business bloggers.
So Why A Blog On WordPress.Org?
WordPress is responsible for most blogs you see today.
WordPress is designed to integrate with Social Media tools and services right out of the box.Wordpress lets you setup and host your own MLM blog. Plus, it’s a free platform with proven services.
Your Very Own MLM Blog; Creating It Right
Worpress makes it simple to set up a Home Business Blog; in 4 steps
- Begin By Registering A Domain Name
A domain is the address for your Network Marketing blog, and it takes the form www.DomainName.com.
When selecting a domain name, select one that’s not difficult to remember, and can be written as one phrase. However, because you’re building a Home Business blog, and you aim to brand yourself, selecting your name (if the domain is available) may also work just fine.
So where and how do you register a domain name?
A domain registrar such as Godaddy will do just fine. Sign up for a free account and check if your desired domain is available.
If your desired domain name is available, go ahead and register it.
- Get Hosting For Your Chosen Domain
Based on our previous address example, if your domain is akin to your address, without the actual building, then your host is where you construct the actual property.
By using a web host, you store your files and domain name safely, so people can gain access to your content when they access your blog.
You should aim to use a web host with a reputation for great customer service and support. For that reason, I strongly recommend Hostgator as your web host.
By opting for their "baby plan" web hosting option, you can host an unlimited number of domains.
When prompted, choose the "Existing Domain" option, and update Name Servers only. Enter all required information, and you will receive an email from your web host. This email will be useful later on.
- You Will Then Need To Direct Your Domain Name To Your Web Host
This next step is similar to directing your street address at your physical house
In simple terms, our aim is to point the domain to our web host. This ensures people can reach your MLM blog, upon typing your domain name into their web browsers.
From the email you were sent by Hostgator, get the Name Servers for this step
To point your domain name to your web host take the following steps:
A. Using your credentials, log into your Godaddy account
B. By accesing the administration panel within your Godaddy account, you can modify your DNS settings.
C. Point the Domain Name Servers to the address you were given by Hostgator (this is in the email you got from Hostgator).
- You Next Install WordPress Onto Your Web Host
The webhost, Hostgator has a piece of software called Fantastico.
Fantastico enables you to setup a WordPress blog easily. For you to gain access to this application, access your WordPress Control Panel with the logon credentials you were emailed by your webhost (Hostgator). The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) you access should have the form, DomainName.com/cpanel (You may need to be patient as your DNS settings may take a while to take effect; 12-24 hours.).
To set up your WordPress blog, click on the Fantastico icon. Click on the link to install WordPress.
That my friend, is all there is to it.
You will also need to install a skin for your Home Business blog, to modify the look and feel, as well as enhance its functionality. When you have customized your Home Business blog and enhanced its functionality, you can begin posting articles.
And so this is the answer to how you set up your MLM blog
