My goal was to setup a profitable e commerce website in under an hour. Two days later, no website and still confused. I've experienced all of the above, and more. I've literally bit my nails to the cuticle, spent countless hours staring at the computer screen in frustration.
WHY?
Because I didn’t have a clue on where to begin setting up a successful wordpress blog or creating a wordpress blog.There is a plethora of information on the web.I still wondered how to create a website,how to create a blog, what type of wordpress hosting do I need, and if I could actually create a blog.Yet, sometimes it is difficult to discern quality and informative information when inundated with thousands of tutorials.I researched to the point where my eye sockets went numb. I felt overwhelmed and confused, until I discovered an amazing site (www.nichehacks.com), which help put everything in perspective.
So I decided to take action and help out others feeling overwhelmed by the process. This hubpage was created to be a simple, concise non-eye numbing guide on how to setup a website or blog in 4 easy and simple steps. Grab your latte and be amazed at how easy it it to create your very first blog and generate a profitable income in a few months!

Which Niche Idea Do you Like the Best?
1) Brainstorming your Niche or Niches
Grab a piece of paper and a pen.
Think about something you are passionate about.Spend about 10 minutes or however long you need to brainstrom.
Do you enjoy music,travel, art, cars, making clothes, trendy gym shoes, organic gardening, yoga, sports memorabilia, vintage fashion or pets?
All of these great ideas can be transformed into a profitable eCommerce website or blog. You can make money online, make money easily and make money online by blogging.Where you can start to generate passive income within a couple of months or even weeks. In the following example, I will show you how to take your initial general idea and zero in on a specific sub-category.
♦Example:
Let's take the topics of pets and sports, both are broad topics. Let's narrow it down to dogs and football. Okay so what next? So far there are still a lot of niche options.We can break the sub-categories into a more niche specific sub-category. So instead of having a blog talking about just dogs and football season. You could concentrate and setup a eCommerce website blogging about, selling or reviewing NFL dog bowls or NFL jerseys for dogs!
Dog Jersey's range from xs-XL to accommodate different canine breeds.

2) Domain name and Hosting
Method #1
This part is FUN and creative. Grab a pen and paper and brainstorm your domain name.If you are stuck and need help, head on over to http://www.namemesh.com/ for inspiration.
♦Tip:In the domain name include seo or search engine optimization, KEYWORDS pertaining to your niche or topic.
I've only set up one site on a hosting platform, but I've registered about four domain names on namecheap.com. Fairly simple,eh! Once you have thought of some possible domain names. Head on over to Namecheap.com (← click namecheap.com to register one or more domains)
It's time to relax, take a sip of your latte, and sign up for web hosting
Now if you are ready to setup your blog and have one domain name in mind. You can refer to method #2 below. This also works if you have alread registered multiple domain names. You can register one name for free on the web host and then add namecheap registered domain names to your webhosting account...Easy peazy!
Method #2
You’ll need to host your domain name. Hosting is like renting space on the web to display your blog.Signup for web hosting with BlueHost ← (click on bluehost to signup & register a domain name) but get this, it is a FREE domain name. They have great rates, as low as $3.49/month. They are reliable, fast and the customer service is excellent.
If you are on a budget and are looking for an economical deal, I would HIGHLY recommend Hostgator ← (click on hostgator to signup & register a domain name). All of the sites mentioned have great rates and provide a domain name for free if you decide to host with them. Best Deal Ever!
Other highly recommend affordable hosting include Siteground and WPengine, which specifically host the Wordpress platform for your e commerce website.
3) Installing Wordpress
This was the part where I thought I was going to lose my mind. Yet I remained calm, collected my composure and installed wordpress in a breeze! WordPress is a blogging software which is SUPER easy to use and install on your website.
