Hey guys! David Risley here with davidrisley.com and another pro blogger flip tip for you.
Now I had set a few videos that go that if you guys have any questions from me regarding blogging, social media, marketing, making money in the internet exedra to send your question to me because I’ll answer it in a video and so I’ll got to do that is send your question to ask at davidrisley.com. I’ll get it and I will answer your question. So one of the questions that came to me was from a guy named Alex Miller and he actually asked three questions. I wouldn’t going to answer the first one right now but I can get the other two in future videos.
Basically, he says I have no web design experience, do I nee to hire a firm to create a blog for me? I want to be a professional looking. So this is a pre comment question for people that just getting started and that is you know how do I set up my blog. Now, you can go with wordpress.com if you’re so inclined and word presses are highly recommend word press. Now if you got o wordpress.com, you can get your blog and set up like I do and still on a former tool and you’re done. Your blog is going to be set up. They take care of the host thing and everything. Now, if you want to turn your blog into a business then you’re going to need a self-host your blog in which case you’re going to wordpress.org, download it, and get it installed.
Now, if you don’t know how to do that, then I've got some of the materials that I can post a little bit later that will show how to actually set up your blog or you can contact your web host if you are the hand one. A lot of times of these guys will have a one click install inside your control panel for your web host and account where you click the button and then install word press. If not, just search google for how to install word press and you’re going to find a lot of them out there because it’s done all the time. And it’s actually really, really easy thing to install.
You get fine of that way. Now when it comes to the design, you to your need a higher firm to create your blog for you and the answer is no.
Now, if time is on the essence and money is not a problem for you, then yes you can hire somebody to do it for you just for the sake of getting it done. But no you don’t need to hire anybody could do it. in terms of designs, you can go over to I thinks it’s just themes.wordpress.org but if you just go to the wordpress.org site, and go for it to the a seems directory, there are probably thousands of free themes just e-mail a library and then all you got to do is search for design that you like, download it, instal it to your blog and you’re going to reset where the design.
Now, long term you want to think about getting something customized and what’s the idea you might want to hire a designer or you now learn the skills yourself but in the short term, since it sounds to me like your just getting started Alex, just go to the themes directory and download a free word press thing and there’s a lot of good ones out there and then scroll that and you should be going to go for a while. You’re going to have a free professional looking a blog design without you having the pit dime or hire anybody. So that’s how you get started in this. You can just conclude these strings for scratch. If you have any other questions too, for the e-mail again that ask at davidrisley.com and I could try to get in to more specifics for you. otherwise, the help too involve with how the action go to the technical status setting up your blog and something that we can cover all and more detailed of it later.
