HELP – How To Own My Blog Space On The Internet?
Before a couple of days I discovered this discussion topic within one of the LinkedIn groups I am a member of.
“In 2010 I have decided that I want to buy and own my blog space on the internet… great idea in theory but one slight issue… I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT I AM DOING!”
Here are the asked questions and my answers:
Q: Do I buy a web site or a blog (or is there a difference?
A: There is a great difference between blog based optimized marketing infrastructure and a web site.
Example: The blog content gets indexed much quicker than website content. There for ‘A blog as a website’ can be more effective. A blog as a website gives your customers and you the opportunity to get in touch by leaving comments, etc. See also the presentation below!
Q: Where do I go to buy a domain name and blog or site page?
A: Godaddy offers WordPress Blog hosting and domain name for $5 per month. The ‘Economy Plan’ should be ok for the beginning, find it here: http://www.godaddy.com/hosting/wordpress-hosting.aspx?ci=15005
Q: Is this something I can learn to do well on my own?
A: Yes. You have many great options to enhance a blog to act as great marketing hub for you. Here you can find more info about this.
Q: Would it be smarter to hire someone to do it for me?
A: In the long term it is better to learn this by your self. But if you want to shorten the learning curve and get quicker results you can also hire somebody to help you to get started and then step by step learn all of these skills when your web presence is up and running.
