Today I got an email from a woman I met offline.

“My name is S… C…, in 2007 I attended one of your virtual classes at the Tea Room in Fairburn.  I was wondering if you could help me with something.

I want to start a blog page.  How do I go about creating a blog page, and how do I get people to advertise on my page?  Is the anyway you could help me with your expertise?

Thank you, I would really appreciate it.

Hi Stephanie,

Thanks for contacting me!

The answer to how to start a blog is pretty easy. The web hosting company I use for my sites is Mom Webs/Reliable Webs, and they have an offer right now that I mentioned here:

If you sign up for a new hosting account, they will install a Wordpress blog for you and make it look professional. Then your job is to write the content.

As far as how to get advertisers and monetize your blog, I couldn’t possibly answer that in an email

I do offer one-on-one coaching however, to answer questions about blogging and internet marketing.

You can see more about that here:
