Free Wordpress Blog Setup
This blog highlights and reviews NC Realtors who write blogs. I have discovered that many Realtors choose different blogging platforms. This is all fine and well but there could be an underlying problem that is easily solved. If you do not own your own domain name and hosting account, you probably do not own your own content. How messed up is that? Keep reading and you will find a solution.
Many Realtors have do not have blogs. Many Realtors have corporate sites that do not include blogs. Many Realtors have blogs on Active Rain. If you fall into one of these categories, your competition is loving it. Owning your own blog and content is a small price to pay for the possible big returns. Did you know that if you blog on Active Rain, you do not own your own content? You may want to read this article.
I recommend that Realtors and anyone running a business have a personal and/or business blog. It just makes sense. Everyone should have a domain name of their choosing, providing it’s available. Have you bought your own name? Have you looked as to whether the name of your business is available? A domain name and web site should be treated as valuable real estate.
I recently found out that I would be a grandfather this summer. I found out just this week that it will be a grandson. My daughter has already determined the name of my Grandson. As soon as I knew the sex of the baby, I purchased the domain name of my Grandson and set up a Wordpress blog. One day, I will gift him this blog with many years of entries. I will write the entire history of his life. What a wonderful gift this will be one day.
Wordpress is the most popular blogging platform on the internet. This blog you are reading is a Wordpress blog. Because I would like to see you and your business succeed, I am making the following offer. If you purchase a domain name and hosting account through my bluehost.com sponsor, I’ll set up your Wordpress blog for free. No catch, no gimmick. You can certainly do it yourself, but If you have never setup a Wordpress blog or feel a little uncomfortable, I’ll get you through it.
Below is a screenshot of a recent blog I set up as an example of what your blog will look like upon setup. Click 480minutes.com for a live preview. This is the standard template used upon setup. Your Wordpress blog can then be fully customized to your desire.
It’s very simple. Use any of my bluehost.com links to buy your domain and hosting account. Forward to me, the e-mail you receive from Bluehost which includes your password information. Forward to info@ncrealtorswhoblog.com. I will set up your blog and include the Wordpress Automatic Upgrade Plugin and also the Wordpress Database Backup Plugin. Upon setup, I will e-mail instructions back to you with directions to access your account and to change your password. Initially, I would probably recommend the 12 month hosting plan. The 12 month plan offers a free domain name and they waive the $30 hosting setup fee. It’s a very simple process I’m offering to my readers. I’m offering this free service to you because my sponsor will pay me a few bucks if you use my link to sign up for a hosting account. That’s it. Get started blogging now on your own domain and own your own content…forever.
