Here are some of my points why people lose money with blog

  • Started blog but does not know what to write about given niche topic
  • Paid good money to  some spam company to advertise their blog
  • Paid Webmasters tons of money to install wordpress or template
  • Paid Adwords but has nothing to do with his blog
  • Paid hosting for 2+ years in advanced without testing them fist
  • Paid domain name for 5+ years
  • Paid for something that is free like Wordpress

So those are some of the points that I have seen over the years people made mistakes.  To tell you the truth in some points I was one of them let say 10 years ago, i paid for 3 years hosting, and realized that hosting is so bad after 3 months ! and I paid over $500 !

Here are some points where you can earn money back

  • Find peace of paper draw your website visualize it + write down domain name
  • Research the domain name if you are after making money type of blog
  •  Don’t pay spam companies to advertise your website because your account could get locked
  • Don’t pay anyone to install wordpress unless you feel like to pay some money.
  • Research on how to install wordpress by your self or ask hosting provider to install it for you
  • Do keyword research on adwords before you put money into, check your competition
  • Always check if future hosting has money back guarantee , don’t buy hosting for more then a year!
  • Check reviews on your hosting ( google: hosting review)
  • Pay only 1 year for domain name unless its something you know you will use it for 5-10 years example : yourname.com
  • Don’t ever ever for ever ever pay wordpress and other open source software ! I have seen this a lot where webmasters use a scheeme oh well wordpress will cost you $254  and my fee to install it $210 , both of the stuff should be free, i install wordpress for free usualy to people that are willing to help me like ( www.sickof9to5.com)

I think thats a first part of stuff that I wouldn’t ever do again :) you can do it too it just takes a little bit of a google research instead of just bouncing your head against the wall just to be done with the website.

If you want success in your life plan first !. I haven’t seen yet a blogger that got successful in his life without planing his strategies and blog, unless he or she hit the niche at the right time at the right place.

Watt I don’t beleave it, I started with free hosting, then moved to paid when I earned from my blog, so blog is paying not only for itself but also to me :) well domain should always be booked for more than one year (min 2 years) since its better from SEO point of view. Domain should always be purchased from verified registrar else namecheap.com is always there.
