How To Start a Blog

Starting a blog was one of the best decisions I’ve

ever made! I’ve been blogging for over 2 years now and it’s been a blast.

I won’t go into the ins and outs, for I could be here forever . I simply found a flare for writing and decided to pour my knowledge into creating a blog, where i could chat about anything I wanted.

The money, recognition and standing didn’t do it for me, i really didn’t care about that, i just wanted somewhere i could share my thoughts and advice on a variety of subjects and that’s how i really got into it.

I don’t just do blogging, i also do affiliate marketing, which takes up a lot of my time, however, clarislifestyle is a huge love of mine and i feel like anyone who likes to write and has the time to put into blogging, should give it a whirl. My first few articles are really poor. There are terrible pictures, terrible puns and awful promotion but i would never remove them from my site. I feel like without them, i wouldn’t be where i am now and it’s kinda funny to look back on .

Blogging allowed me to unleash my creativity, connect with awesome like-minded people, and make money in the process. If you’ve ever wondered whether you should have a blog of your own, I’m here to encourage you to do it!

I know there’s something you’re passionate about, whether it’s makeup, fashion, fitness, or whatever else you’re in love with. Follow your creative dreams. You never know where they could take you!

1 The

Basics

Getting your own domain and hosting is the way to go. This means you’ll have your own site, like clarislifestyle.com

I also strongly recommend blogger.com to build your blog. It’s easy and free. WordPress trumps Blogger/Blogspot. If you don’t know how to install blogger.com don’t worry! I’ll show you exactly how to set it up in this post.

If you already have a blog hosted on Blogspot or Tumblr, making the switch is totally worth it. You get to keep all your existing posts and transfer them.

2 Myths

& Facts

There are a few myths about having your own domain and hosting, so let me set them straight right now.

Myth 1: Running your own blog is expensive.

You can have your own, self-hosted blog for under £10 a year .Don’t go with anything more expensive than that, because it’s unnecessary. BlueHost offers the best prices, and you get a free domain. Score!

Myth 2: It’s hard and confusing to set up!

I’m not particularly computer-savvy, and I still managed to do it! I’ll show you how simple it is and guide you through the whole process.

Myth 3: It’s impossible to make any money with a small blog.

Odds are you’re going to be making more than what you’re paying to run your blog. One of the advantages of having your own, self-hosted blog is having the freedom to monetize it.

“Don’t be disheartened if people don’t read your blog.

It’s important to know specifically what your focus will be. A focused blog makes blogging easier. Here are some examples.

Reviews. If you’re a product junkie, you can write helpful reviews.

Makeup artistry. If you’ve got skills, you can show off your looks.

Swatches. Good swatches can be hard to find. Everybody loves dupes.

Budget beauty. You could focus on drugstore and affordable brands.

Nails. If you love nail polish and have a talent for nail art,

The Music Business In Cameroon.

Most often when you ask foreigners if they know any Cameroonian artists or music the first name they often call is Petit Pays. In the past Makossa held Cameroon high when it comes to music, it later on had support from other genres such as Bikutsi, Benskin and a lot more.
