April 7, 2009 - PRLog -- While the economy struggles and unemployment rates skyrocket, more and more people are turning to the Internet to make money blogging about subjects they love.  Here are 7 steps misplaced workers are using to start a blog today as listed by MyMarketingCoach, LLC (http://www.mybloggingmastery.com)

1. Get A Domain Name and Web Hosting.  Domain names are cheap and must be geared towards the main topics of a blog.  Signing up with a web host that is low cost and provides more than enough web space is highly recommended.  A simple search through Google should do the trick.

2. Download Wordpress Blogging Software.  It can be downloaded at WordPress.com for FREE while most good web hosting companies offer it to their customers pre-installed on their servers.  This means just a couple clicks and WordPress is setup and ready to post in under two minutes.

3. Setup the Blog Theme.  Be sure to select a theme that appeals to the overall target market. There's a slew of free WordPress themes to choose from online.  Premium themes (themes people pay for) are available online as well while people can also choose to have themes custom made.

4. Start Installing Plugins.  Plugins make lives easier for bloggers.  There are many plugins that can be searched out and downloaded for free at the WordPress website.  Akismet, Do Follow and social bookmarking plugins are highly popular among dozens of others.

5. Write Content Packed Posts.  When posting people must be sure to include targeted key phrases in their post titles so they stand out to search engine crawlers.  The best content always wins so it's important to write content that's valuable in the eyes of the market.  

6. Setup Email Capture and RSS Feeds.  Making it easy for people to be notified of new posts by offering to send email updates or adding content to their RSS newsreaders can not only draw viewers and visitors, but drive sales over time.  Get an opt-in form and email capture from Aweber.

7. Drive Web Traffic to the Blog.  Promote it and let people who want it know it exists!  Anybody can use free methods such as blog carnivals, social bookmarking, posting blog comments on other blogs, participating in forums, submitting articles, and creating press releases to start.
