Blogging Tips to Make Money Blogging

From this point on we shall presume that you are using WordPress. If this is not the case, then most of the following advice will apply but some of the specifics and details may be different.

Now that you have your URL and you’ve installed WordPress, you’re ready to start creating. The first thing to do? Think about the design you want to use!

But that doesn’t mean your web design. This won’t come until later. Instead, you’re going to focus on your logo first.

Why? Because your logo is a crucial part of your branding and chances are that you’re going to want to use a web design heavily inspired by your logo.

Your web design will probably use colors from your logo, it will probably use certain visual cues and this will help to create a consistent design language for your entire site. It’s a great starting point and it will make coming up with your design that much easier.

1.Creating a Logo

So how do you come up with your logo? The first stage is to recognize what makes a good logo. Critical criteria here then are:

1. Versatility
2. Simplicity
3. Originality
4. Suitability

It needs to be versatile and simple because you’re going to be using this in various different places throughout your online presence. Your logo will go right at the top of your website but it’s also going to go front and center on your Facebook page, it will be right up top on your Twitter page.

And if you build an app then it will be there too. We’ll see later how important it is to have a strong presence on social media: and having a great logo will really make a big difference to that and will help to create brand visibility and loyalty.

In terms of originality, you need to avoid obvious clichés that are present in too many logos. Ticks, globes and lightbulbs have been done to death and as such you should really avoid these unless you want your website to look like a massive cliché.

That said though, don’t go for something so creative that it doesn’t communicate your message at all. Your logo should entirely on its own tell visitors what your site is about and what type of site they’re on.

This will tell you whether the logo should be fun, whether it should be professional and whether it should be colorful. The Process A great process to go through when creating your logo is to create a mood board. This is essentially a collage where you will place everything that you can think of that you like, that relates to your business and niche and that you might consider emulating.

This can be other logos, it can be photos of color palettes or it can be random sketches you’ve made. Create a big enough collection and eventually you should find that some themes and patterns begin to emerge.

This way you can then start sketching some ideas, combining elements and trying out different approaches. Some you will like and some you’ll throw out. This spit-balling process though will help to lead you in the right direction.

Likewise, it can help to look at the name of your website and brand and to try working with that. Are there any letters that could be morphed into one of your related items? What should the font look like?

For text, it’s important to use an interesting font that looks professional. Ideally, you’ll also want to use a font that is unique to you. A good solution here then is to download a custom font from FontSquirrel.com (a great repository of free TTF and OTF files) and then to trace over your company name, making edits as you do to make it original. This way, your font will be unique but at the same time, it will be based on something that looks professional.

Finally, take whatever you have designed and then simplify it and scale it back. Remove anything superfluous and the more you cut away, the better and more impactful it will be.

Note that when you create your logo, you should do so using vector software. This includes the likes of Adobe Illustrator. Vector software works differently from raster software that produces PNG and JPG images. While the latter creates a ‘map’ of where all the pixels are going to go, the former lets you define the angle, length and direction of the lines that create the image. This means that vector images can be drawn at any size with no loss in quality and that you can easily make edits to the image when you need to use the logo in a new context. The best choice if you can afford it, is to use Adobe Illustrator. This will produce an AI file and you can then use that to make new PNGs as they’re needed.

2.Choosing Your Theme

Now you have your logo, you should have some ideas for your color palette and you should be ready to start thinking about the artistic direction of your website.

At this point, with WordPress installed, you should already have a rather attractive looking website that utilizes WordPress’ default theme for the year. The current ‘Twenty Fifteen’ theme looks very sleek and modern with light colors and a very ‘picture heavy’ layout.

You can swap the title for your new logo and right away you’ll see that it looks out of place. It’s also important to use a theme as otherwise your site won’t look very professional – it will look as though you didn’t know how to create a theme of your own and so opted to go with what was available by default.

Adding a theme means applying a new layout and look that has been predefined for you. This can then instantly change the visual impact your website makes, as well as the way your visitors will navigate around it.

You can find themes to install for free right through WordPress and can preview them through the control panel before selecting which one you want. The problem with free themes though is that they tend to be less professional looking than paid themes and they tend to have fewer options. At the same time, there’s always the risk with a free theme that someone else will have chosen exactly the same theme of you. This dilutes your brand identity and it doesn’t exactly scream professionalism.

Instead then, it might be better to look for paid WordPress themes. This can again be done through your WordPress control panel, it can be done by looking on other sites like Theme Forest, or it can be done by hiring a team of designers to create a custom theme on your behalf. Of course that latter option is the best way to get a theme that is perfectly matched to your branding and your requirements.

When choosing a theme, try to keep a few things in mind. For starters, you need to pick a theme that will be well suited to the type of website you’re going to create. Some themes are very image-heavy for instance and will feature sliders on the front page as well as lots of large crisp images linking to each of the posts you upload. This is a great way to make your blog look more modern and more visually compelling but at the same time, it’s also

important that you consider the work that goes into this and the requirements. Will your content lend itself to being image heavy? Will you have the means and resources to acquire lots of large graphics that you have the rights to use legally? Do you want to spend time reshaping the content?

Certain themes will also be well suited to sites with lots of content and will have large menus for finding your way around. Other themes on the other hand will be better suited to sites that are made up of a single or a few static pages.

You should also look for some specific requirements for your theme, no matter what type of blog you’re looking to create. Make sure that:

• The theme is responsive, meaning it looks good on any sized display
• The theme is optimized for mobile in other ways – for instance, the buttons should be large enough to be pressed with a finger instead of a mouse click
• The theme is quick to load so that people don’t get bored and leave and so that Google doesn’t penalize you
• The theme looks good and professional and is easy to navigate If you’re torn between themes, try taking a look at some of the blogs that you enjoy and admire. What layouts do they feature? What is good or bad about that? Again – if they’ve shown that that kind of layout can work, it basically verifies the strategy and ensures you won’t be wasting your time working with a doomed web design.

3.Customizing Your Theme

WordPress is highly customizable and this is another one of its huge advantages. We’ve already picked a website theme but now we can go one step further by tweaking that theme to be just the way we want it.

WordPress allows you to do this by default under the ‘Appearance’ tab where you can change things like your header and footer, your logo, your background, the color scheme etc. Most themes though will also come with their own options panel where you can make additional tweaks and customizations.

One thing you should do right away is to match elements of your website to your logo’s precise color code. This will create a strong sense of

consistency throughout your web design and will ensure that everything matches neatly. It’s not enough to feature ‘almost the same’ blue – it needs to be 100% identical blue.

4. Color Palette

At the same time, think about the other colors on your website. One way to do this is by applying a little ‘color theory’. Color theory basically tells us which colors should look good together and which shouldn’t on a color wheel.

When using this approach you have a number of options. One is to pick ‘complementary colors’ which are the colors opposite each other on a color wheel. Purple and green look good together for instance as do any combination of three colors spaced evenly apart. Another option is to go for ‘analogous’ colors which are colors that are directly next to each other on the color chart.

Finally, you can also pick ‘natural’ color schemes. These are color palettes that you select from photos in nature: looking at photos of natural scenery and picking out the colors that occur heavily in those.

Make sure to think about practicality as you do all this. Just because a color scheme looks good, that doesn’t make it appropriate for a website. Ask: is it easy to read?

To get help with finding your colors, try going to Pintrest and search for “color palette”. You’ll find images of colors you can combine.

5. Fonts

Another consideration is your choice of fonts. This is a relatively small detail in the wider context of your web design but it’s actually small details like this that make a web design look professional and give it that ‘sheen’.

Don’t just work with the fonts that came with your theme then: think about adding new typefaces that will be easy to read on a range of devices and that will complement the tone and topic of your blog.

For instance, a ‘serif’ font is a font with the small feet at the ends. More often we use ‘sans-serif’ (no feet) fonts on the web because it’s generally easier to read and it looks very crisp, minimal and modern. But if your blog is going to be reporting news, or if it’s literary in nature then you might want to consider using a serif font. Why? Because serif fonts have been traditionally used in print mediums and as such they have become associated with that kind of niche.

Combining fonts can also be used to good effect. For your headings and titles for instance you might opt to pick something bolder and larger without worrying as much about legibility.

6. Choosing a Background

Adding a custom background can also do a lot to customize the look of your theme and this is something you can update yourself relatively easily. Again, pick something that is on-point as far as your niche goes and which will add to the look and feel of the site.

7. Adding Widgets

Another way to customize your WordPress theme is by adding widgets to the sidebars. Widgets are small forms, sidebars and other elements that can provide all kinds of functions on your site. For instance, many ‘opt-in’ forms for mailing lists will take the form of widgets, as will many advertising slots, feeds from social media etc. Using widgets is a great way to give your site more features and you can add additional widgets by installing them as plugins.

Just go to Plugins – then add new plugins to find widgets and ‘behind the scenes’ tools that will enhance your site’s performance in all manner of ways.

Outsourcing

If all this is sounding rather complicated then there is an easier way – which is to try finding an a company you can outsource the work to. A great way to do this is to visit a freelancing site where freelancers can post their CVs and you can post your job offers.

You know you need to grow your blog to the point where it’s getting tons of traffic to get monthly profits. But while this is highly rewarding, it’s not going to give you the freedom that you’re looking for. This will not be enough to enable you to quit your day job and to start lying in in the mornings/spending more time with your family/travelling.

To do that you’re going to also need to monetize your blog – in other words ensure that it’s bringing in cash.

So how do you do that? The answer might surprise you…

Consider This Before You Spend A Single Cent On Advertising

Many people believe that the best way to make money from a website is by putting ads on it – specifically like Google AdSense that will pay out every time they get clicked (this is ‘PPC’ advertising meaning ‘pay per click’)

Simply sign up for an account at https://www.google.com/adsense, create your campaigns, paste the adverts you create onto your site to embed them in your content and then ensure that lots of people are going to your site.

Problem is though, you’re only going to earn a few cents per click from those ads. If you’re getting hundreds of thousands of views per day, then this can be a good way to earn a fair amount of passive income – but even then there are smarter and more effective ways you could be earning more.

The thing to keep in mind here is that those advertisers are willing to pay you that much for your traffic. What this tells you, is that the customers are worth more to them than the small amount they’re paying you. That means

they must have found a better way to monetize their site – likely by selling a product or perhaps an affiliate product that they’ll gain commission for.

Either way, this now means that you’re selling something for less than it’s worth. How do you get to the top of the pile?

Creating and Selling Products

The very best way to make money from a blog is to sell something. You can do this by purchasing inventory in bulk and then selling it on for more than you paid for it but this is a rather involved and complicated process with a number of challenges.

What’s much easier then and what’s particularly well suited to blogging, is to sell an informational product. That means an e-book, a book, a digital course or something else.

(Above: an information product created by DigitalMarketer.com)

As a digital product, these options will have zero overheads for you and no delivery costs. What’s more, you’ll be able to demonstrate value and build trust in your product through your content marketing very effectively. Throw

in some adverts for your product and some promotion within the body of your content and you can make a lot of money this way.

Note that if you aren’t confident enough or don’t have the time to write an entire e-book, you can always outsource the process using the likes of UpWork (www.upwork.com), Freelancer (www.freelancer.com) and Elance (www.elance.com).

Affiliate Marketing

Or if you’d rather not invest the time or money in creating products, another choice is to skip that part and instead sell someone else’s product. You can do this by becoming an affiliate marketer, meaning that you’re now selling a product for commission. If that sounds like a step-down from selling your own product, bear in mind it gives you a much wider selection of things to sell and that it means you can choose products that are already highly successful.

If you find an affiliate product through a site like ClickBank (www.clickbank.com) or JVZoo (www.jvzoo.com), you’ll be given an affiliate link to promote and every time someone clicks on that link and buys the product you’ll get around 40-60%. A great strategy then is to include product reviews as blog posts, or to have a list of ‘key resources’ for your readers that promote these items.

Another option is to choose Amazon’s affiliate scheme. This pays out a much smaller percentage but on the other hand, it gives you access to a gigantic selection and it lets you sell through a retailer that people already use and trust.

Look for widgets and plugins that will let you add your adverts in the sidebars and under the headers of your site. These key spots bring in more clicks and more money without being distracting or disruptive for your visitors.

You can use a plugin like “Amazon Product in a Post Plugin” to add formatted Amazon products to any page or posts. It’s free: https://wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-product-in-a-post-plugin/

Building an E-Mail List

Think of your website as a sieve. Most of the people who visit it will read it, enjoy it but then fall through the tiny holes never to be seen again. At this point they are lost.

This is why e-mail marketing is so important. With e-mail marketing, the objective is to get visitors to sign up for a mailing list so that you can update them with news about your new posts, new products and more. This lets you turn a one-off visitor into a loyal fan and someone you can reach regularly. Don’t rely on RSS feeds for this kind of loyalty – it’s only a small selection of people who use these and barely anyone will subscribe to an RSS feed on Feedly on their very first visit.

To create a successful mailing list, you will need to use an autoresponder along the lines of Aweber (www.aweber.com) or GetResponse (www.getresponse.com). These will manage your contacts, allow you to send large bulk e-mails and also automate the process of signing up or unsubscribing.

Once you’ve chosen a platform and signed up, you’ll then be given the opportunity to create an ‘opt-in form’. This is where your visitors will enter their details if they want to sign in and it’s what you should work to promote if you want to get the maximum visitors possible.

Fortunately, it’s relatively easy to insert opt-in forms into your sidebar and into the bottom of your posts. This won’t be enough to encourage first time viewers though: if you want to go the extra mile to secure subscribers (which you really should) then you should incentivize your mailing list with an e-book, a free report or some other kind of freebie.

Likewise, you can put your opt-in form into a lightbox that appears over the rest of your content. SumoMe (www.sumome.com) is one example of a useful ‘pop-up’ lightbox you can use to convert your one-time visitors into subscribers and long-time customers.

Now make sure you keep your mailing list active by notifying your members of new updates to the blog and by mentioning your offers and promotions.

Note that pretty much every major blogger describes their mailing list as one of the absolutely crucial aspects of their business model. Don’t ignore this!

Socializing Your Blog

Post regularly enough and your blog will begin to generate ‘long tail’ keywords and will get traffic from Google. You can help this as well by exchanging guest posts and submitting your links to directories and forums to create a big ‘in-bound links profile’.

In this day and age though and especially for bloggers looking to build a personal brand, social media is going to be your very best tool for promoting your site. This will allow you to directly reach your target demographic, to engage with your audience and to grow your list of fans and followers.

So how do you go about effectively ‘socializing’ that blog?

The Basics

The first rule of social media is ‘be everywhere’. This means you should have an account on Facebook, on Twitter, on Instagram (which is actually bigger than Twitter!), on Google+, on LinkedIn… you name it! And across all these accounts you should have a consistent logo, a consistent brand name and a consistent mission statement and niche. This will help to give people more ways to discover you and it will present more ways to share your content.

Now when you post your blog posts, you should also share them to all these channels. As you gain more visitors, more people will gravitate towards your social media. And as they grow in number, the content you share there will automatically start to perform better.

At the same time, you should also think of sharing your links to social sharing sites – like Reddit (www.reddit.com) and StumbleUpon (www.stumbleupon.com). Also good are Facebook groups and Google+ communities. This way you can find specific audiences for your content who will be likely to enjoy your content and to share it and promote it.

In fact, every time you write a new post for your blog you should have a good idea of all the ways you can share it socially. Where will this be the biggest hit? Who precisely are you aiming this post at? Think of your route to market right from the start and you’ll all but guarantee succeed.

Of course you should also add social sharing buttons right into your content. You can do this with a plugin like Shareaholic (www.shareaholic.com). This lets your visitors share your content with their contacts if they should enjoy it.

Creating a Community on Your Own Blog

Another smart tip is to try turning your own blog into a community itself. You can do this with an active comments section (use the plugin in Disqus which has a lot of advanced features and useful advantages) and by just making sure that you always respond to comments and generally encourage conversation. Try to end your posts with an invitation for people to discuss more – or even end them with a question.

And do take the time wherever possible to answer e-mails, messages on LinkedIn etc. Don’t underestimate the value of a single highly loyal fan!

Having a beautiful site with nothing on it is not enough though. If you want to start growing your visitors and building momentum for your new business then you’re going to need to add content.

Why ‘Content is King’

Content generally refers to ‘writing’ when used online and in the case of a blog this means blog posts. This type of content is what most of us are looking for when we search for things on Google: we want information, entertainment or opinion. Thus, by adding more content to your site, you give people an incentive to visit and you let yourself get to know them.

Content is important for more reasons that that though. For instance, it also happens to be your site’s content that will ensure you win or lose at SEO. Search engines work by trying to match search terms to the content on a website. The more writing you have, the more chance there is of you getting a ‘hit’ and the more people will start finding your site with relevant good queries.

Content is also critical for ‘content marketing’. Content marketing is basically a form of marketing that revolves around your blog posts. The idea here is that you’re going to update your site regularly with interesting articles and posts and this should then help you to find genuine fans of your work. These people might subscribe to your site, join your mailing list (more on that later) or just bookmark your page. They’ll then come back regularly to see what interesting new content you’ve added lately and each time they do, you’ll have a new opportunity to market to them.

What’s more, content marketing will allow you to demonstrate your knowledge and expertise on a subject. If your readers get to the point where they respect what you have to say and they start seeking you out for answers to questions, then you’ll be able to sell to them more easily when you recommend an informational product you’ve made, or perhaps an affiliate product you’re getting commission on.

Content is also crucial for your social media marketing (as you can share it to your channels to get more followers) and it can be used to sell things directly. In short, the success of your blog revolves almost entirely around the content that you’ll be uploading to it.

How Much Content Should You Be Adding?

So here’s the golden question: how much content do you need to add to turn your website into a big success?

There’s no single answer here though and of course the best guidelines will depend on what your blog is about, who your typical reader is etc. You should also keep in mind that quality always trumps quantity.

BUT the simple guideline for how much content to add is just: as much as you possibly can while staying consistent.

Consistency is key.

We’ve seen all the ways that content can help your website. We’ve seen that ‘content is king’ and that SEO basically amounts to adding writing to your site for Google to find… and with that in mind, it follows that the more content you can add, the more chances you will give people to find you and the more you’ll stand to make from your site.

We touched on this briefly in the introduction already but this is really the key point you should take from this e-book. To be successful from a blog, you need to really invest yourself in it. That means spending a lot of time making tons of great quality content and then promoting it. You can upload a blog post once a week and be fairly successful. But if you want to skyrocket yourself to prominence you really need to be posting multiple times a week or even multiple times a day. Your rewards will grow exponentially the more top-quality content you are putting out.

How Many Words Should Each Blog Post Be?

Now that you have an idea as to how much content you should be adding, the question now is how many words or length should each blog post be?

According to Neil Patel of QuickSprout.com and statistics from SerpIQ, longer posts are usually better.

Typically longer posts attract more search traffic. Take a look at this graph from SerpIQ:

Notice the top content length is sitting around 2000 words.

Longer posts are usually more comprehensive than a short 500-word article–there’s more meat and detail in it.

Why it’s better for search traffic is because you are including more h1, h2, h3 headings and keywords within your posts.

The higher your word count, the more link-backs you’ll get. Take these graphics from Moz as proof:

More link-backs means more search traffic.

Neil Patel says:

“My own research on Quick Sprout confirms this. All of my posts that are more than 1,500 words receive 68% more tweets and 22% more Facebook likes than the articles with fewer than 1,500 words.”

Just something to consider when writing your posts.

Choosing Topics

The next question then is how you’re going to go about picking topics to write about. How do you bring something fresh to your chosen niche that hasn’t been seen before? How do you ensure that your content is going to bring in readers and that it’s in demand?

SEO

I shared some tips on search traffic earlier but let’s talk about it a little more. One strategy is to focus on the SEO aspect of your articles.

The ideal situation here is that you write a post that people are searching for but that doesn’t yet exist. Alternatively, you can try and write a subject that is popular right now but not yet over saturated.

You can do this by using keyword research tools. Keyword research tools effectively allow you to see what people are looking for and how the competition stacks up.

The best known keyword tool is Google’s own ‘Keyword Planner’ (http://adwords.google.com/keywordplanner).

This is designed for people who are thinking of using Google’s paid ‘AdWords’ platform for advertising and the idea is to show which search terms might be a good use of investment capital for a company hoping to gain exposure to a specific audience. Unfortunately though, Google ‘depowered’ their keywordplanner a while back because they didn’t want to provide too much information for those trying to ‘game’ their search ranking system. This means that you can’t see all of the good keywords currently available.

Instead then, you might decide to look into alternate options like the free Wordpot, or paid Moz Keyword Analysis, Raven Tools Research Central or Keyword Spy.

Links to each tool:

Wordpot:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/wordpot-the- keyword-finder/

Moz: https://moz.com/tools/keyword-difficulty
Raven Tools Research Central: http://raventools.com/seo-tools/ Keyword Spy: http://www.keywordspy.com/

To use these, simply search for the topic of relevant terms alongside the search volume (how many people are regularly searching for them). From there, you can then try searching the term yourself in Google and then seeing what the competition looks like. Find a highly competitive keyword, then ask yourself: can you do better than that? And also: how?

For added SEO benefit, you then want to subtly lace your keywords into the content, so that you are occasionally repeating the phrase in a non-forced manner (as well as using related terms). Don’t make it obvious (this is called ‘keyword stuffing’ and it will get you penalized) but just take the opportunities as they arise.

Keyword research is a very handy tool for finding topics that will be a hit for your website but make sure that you don’t let keywords dictate the

your articles – otherwise you’ll end up with a bunch of generic posts that are written for Google over actual humans that might read them!

Places to Research

Another way to get great ideas for content is simply to keep an eye on what other people are talking about and on news. Looking at forums in your niche is a great way to do this, as you can see what people are talking about, asking questions about etc. You can even post there yourself and just ask what people want to hear more of!

Of course you can also look at what your competitors are writing about and you can look at news sites. News sites generally have sections like health, technology etc. and these can provide useful topical prompts for your content. Note though that anything that is too topical will not be ‘evergreen’. In other words, it will have a limited shelf-life as far as being relevant goes which means you won’t be able to get more value out of it in future.

Another trick is to look at news from websites not in your niche and then to combine that news. In other words, you might have a fitness website but perhaps a new motion-controlled computer game is relevant? Or maybe you could write something based on technology?

Easy Ways to Get Content

Looking to get content without having to put in all the leg work yourself? As it happens, there are a number of ways you can get good content for ‘free’ and without working.

One is to create ‘curated content’. Curated content is simply content that you have gathered from around the web. None of it is original but by collecting it all in one place, you can offer something new.

A very basic example of curated content would be a list of famous or inspirational quotes for instance. You can go further than that though and use full paragraphs, links or even entire short articles. As long as you are providing value to your target audience by collecting all the content into one place, it will be useful for your readers.

Note as well though, that curated content runs the risk of penalization from Google. Google doesn’t like people to use ‘duplicate content’ which is any content that has already been published elsewhere. Of course your curated content runs the risk of falling into that trap. This is fine: just make sure that you drive most of your traffic to this particular article from social media and try to avoid using this strategy too regularly. Another tip is to use smaller passages – this can also help you to avoid being guilty of simple copypasta.

Another way you can get great quality content for free is by publishing the work of guest bloggers. Guest bloggers are bloggers who publish content on your site in exchange for a free link back to their site. This gives them some promotion and you get some free content in the process – it’s a genuine win/win scenario!

If you didn’t read my resource page yet which contain a long list of recommended tools (check it out here), this might be your first time hearing of Netkl. But if you already familiar with this name then great! NetKl is a hosting and domain provider like GoDaddy, Bluehost and Site ground. Why I choose Netkl in the first place is because it is freaking cheap for a beginner.

RM60($20) Investment

Literally, to start a website and a blog, I just need to invest RM60 for a new domain and a year subscription. This is totally a bargain for me! because from what I read on the internet, it is quite costly to start your own website in terms of the monthly commitment. Netkl makes it possible for me to start a blog with a low budget.

Now It has been almost 2 years since I use Netkl. Even though there is RM60/year Beginner’s package but I started using the GoldX package which cost RM100/year because I want more disc storage usage.

More disk storage, databases,bandwidth,domains

With PlatinumX, I upgrade to 10gb disc storage, 100gb monthly bandwidth, 30 MyDQL Databases, 10 add on Domain and Unlimited park Domain. My subdomain also unlimited which is very cool.

Now after 1 year and a half using that package, I decided to upgrade since I require more space in my blog to upload photos, etc. I hope this won’t hurt my pocket because by next year I will continue using the PlatinumX package which costs RM200/year. But I might switch to siteground since siteground is having a similar price range. Let’s see by the end of this year ..

Easy payment method

Being almost 2 years of NetKL user, my website and I have never face any problem. The interface is user friendly and really suitable for Malaysian since it allows online transfer through Maybank2u,Cimbclick and etc. However, you don’t have to worry if you are not staying in Malaysia but want to use this hosting , you can pay through Paypal as well!

Anyway , this is Netkl packages that are available for those who are considering using Netkl services.

Does not have to renew entire package

By upgrading from GoldX to PlatinumX, I do not renew the entire package but basically they calculated for me my unused day of subscription. Since we already in June (i started my plan late December) and we got half of the year to go, so I only pay half of the total which is just a fair and square payment. I just need to add another RM50 to get the Platinum X.

10 GB storage. Yay !

Now I have 10 GB of storage which gives me a bit more freedom to install anything and upload anything I want. 🙂 You can check your disc storage by login to your panel account (like this http://anysnadhilah.com/cpanel ) then, click disc storage to see your disc usage.

How many disc usage left in your account? Let me know in the comment section down below so I am not the only one who was almost full.

The Ultimate Blogging Biz Tools

When starting out, I know the tech struggle is real. I literally don’t know where to start and where to invest.

Hence I decided I am going to take you who has the same problem with me and embark this journey together.

Growing a blog and a business itself take time thus I don’t know for you to waste your time looking for a perfect tech stuff because I list it all here the good ones for you !

Web hosting  and domain

Hosting and domain is a MUST for everybody who want to start a blog or an online business. It is a fundamental to have your own hosting and domain if you are going to use wordpress.org for your blog. I recommend for you to use WordPress.org because you have full control of your website. If you still want to use Blogspot, go ahead but trust me WordPress has a lot more features and tools to build your blog and online business.

Godaddy

I know hosting and domain is a commitment but there is annual plan that you can subscribe so you only paid once at a discounted price.

NetKL

I started using hosting and domain from this site because it is easy and cheap for me. Plus they are Malaysia based (the country I live) so it is for me to get in touch with support team in the beginning.
