The best thing about this practical guide is that you do not require any technical knowledge; So, if lately you have been wondering how to create a blog , and you think it is something difficult, here you will know how to create your website.

How to create a blog you can live on:

In the video that you will see below I will explain how to configure your blog step by step in a matter of minutes.

However, the success of a blog does not lie in the creation of the website, but in the strategy and methodology that you use to create content that is profitable and allows you to obtain income each month.

Why am I telling you this? Because what you will learn here is the first of a series of steps you must take to create a blog that you can live from.

So before showing you the step by step to create your blog from scratch I want to invite you.

So what do you need to create a blog?

With the rise of the Internet, today there are tools that allow you to make a blog in less than 10 minutes, configure it with just a few clicks and start earning money from home .

In this case, we will explain how to create a blog in WordPress , one of the most used content managers worldwide. Undertaking Stories uses it for example.

To start you need:

• Have a web domain defined (in the video I explain how to get a free one)
• Set up the hosting service (click this link to get it)
• Install WordPress with just one click.
• A payment method (every business requires an investment, but don't worry, it's quite cheap: approximately 3.95 dollars, that is, a monthly coffee that is paid annually)

Can you create a blog for free?

You may be wondering if you can create a blog for free. Of course there are free alternatives. If you search on Google, you will find hundreds of sites to create a blog for free.

However, these do not end up being the best options to create a blog, if your goal is to create a profitable business and earn money online .

Why? These free alternatives to create a blog are limited, that is, they do not offer you the range of possibilities that the paid ones have. In addition, like any business, you must invest in it so that it produces results.

Tips when creating your blog in WordPress

The objective of this article is not only to explain how to create a blog technically, but also to explain some additional configurations that will make your blog look much more professional and will put you on the path to start earning extra money with your site.

Set the language of your WordPress in Spanish:

To achieve this, go to Settings → General → At the end of the screen you will find the language, choose Spanish and finally save the changes made.

Define a template for your blog:

You can change the template of your blog in the following way: Appearance → Themes → There you have options or free or you can buy on Themeforest, there is a wide variety of templates available depending on the theme of your blog.

How to publish your first entry:

To create your first blog post, go to posts and create new. There you can create your first article. Something important to keep in mind is the following:

If you enter your blog from another computer or your cell phone, you will see that it is in “Coming soon” mode, as you can see in the image below of Create Your Blog.

To remove this option and launch your blog to the public you must click on the “Click here” option that is located in the upper section of your wordpress administrator. As it appears in the image.

Tools to use on your blog

Like Hostinger , there are other tools that can help you in your new digital business: Your personal blog. 

To start we will give you some basic recommendations, however, if you really want to take your knowledge about how to create a profitable blog to the next level, I have an invitation for you to a free training.

As we mentioned before, this Google tool helps you keep track of your readers.

When you configure it on your blog, it will tell you from which country they are reading you, what are the ages of your readers, how often they do it and what are their interests. This tool is essential to progress and keep track of the behavior of your website.

You need to have a database with the emails of your readers. With Mailchimp you can send all your visitors the new articles, videos or entries that you make in your blog. And better yet, it's free for up to 2,000 emails.

My experience creating a blog from scratch

As you may have noticed, learning how to create a blog doesn't take a lot of time; it is a simple, fast process and at the distance of a few clicks

The really important thing is to start. You will always have many reasons not to do it; among them that you do not have time, that it is very difficult, or even worse, that you do not believe that it is possible to earn money doing something that you are passionate about, that is your purpose in life .

So to finish, I would like to share with you three extremely important points:

Creating a successful blog takes time:

When people think of creating a blog, the first idea that comes to mind is passive income; you with a computer on the beach enjoying financial freedom while having some margaritas.

Although this is achievable, you need to stop thinking that creating a personal blog is an easy business, that you don't need to work and that you will see your accounts fill up with money while you do nothing.

Like any business in life, whether it's a cheap franchise or an online venture, you need dedication, effort, and a lot of willingness.

Prepare to face difficult moments:

When creating a blog, make sure you are passionate about your niche. One of the reasons why websites do not generate income is because there is no clear issue on the part of the entrepreneur regarding the generation of content.

Why is it important that you are passionate about the subject?

You will need passion to face not so pleasant moments, for moments, for example, when:

• You don't want to make a new entry on your blog,
• Your friends ask you what you do on your computer,
• Do not believe that a personal blog can be a business,
• and many other difficult moments that entrepreneurship implies.

Constancy, the key to creating a successful blog:

From the beginning you will have disappointments and failures, lack of readers in your blog, you will want to do other things: you will prefer to go out with your friends, watch movies, sleep and many other things that you may want beyond sitting down and working on your project. .

That's why you need perseverance, to overcome your desire not to succeed. To master your fear of success. To be successful. So get started right away, here are the steps to learn how to create a blog from scratch.
