How To Start Your Own Blog

Hi Friend,

There are a lot of folks wondering how to start your own blog so I wanted to let you know how I’m doing it.

I started the Find Your Flow® blog in 2013, and I have learned a lot along the way, so hopefully this will help you.

I don’t know if this is the easiest way, everybody back then was saying that using WordPress is the easiest way.

Well, maybe I’m just slow, but in my experience WordPress can be very challenging at times!

But, it is free, and it is powerful, so that’s super cool. I’ve built sites on other platforms, but WordPress is pretty special and what I build most of my sites on.

Here are some resources for you, updated September 13/2024…NOTE: I use these products and services myself, and so I have partnered with some of the folks listed below, which means that if you use the links below to buy from them, I may be compensated. But don’t worry, it doesn’t cost you any extra.

For hosting, I like these guys: Find Your Flow Hosting  🙂

I also use GoDaddy for website hosting for this website because I’ve already built it out so much and I’m scared to move it, lol.

For website building, I’m now using Elementor Pro.

I sometimes create my blog posts from my podcast episodes, or I create ebooks from blog posts using: Designrr

I dropship merchandise like shirts, hats, waterbottles, and more from my blog using Printful.

For mailing to the company (Find Your Flow® Publishing), I don’t like using my home address, so I have a virtual suite: iPostal

(Plus it makes you look way more professional.)

Also, have you noticed the 1-800 number on my blog? Pretty fancy, huh?

Well, you don’t need a 1-800 number but having a separate business line as your blog grows is pretty important. Check out Freedom Voice.

I have 10 extensions so I use a different extension for each of my businesses and services.

So now you know how to start your own blog!

I hope that helps get you started! Just do it! You got this!

If you would like help setting up your blog, your website, hosting, or just getting your blog going, you can call me at 1-800-484-1997 x808 or email [email protected].

Until next time my friend…be flowing!
