Have you noticed I have been a bit quiet lately?
There are two reasons.
The first, of course, is that I have been moving country. These things tend to constrain your time a little … I can happily say I am typing this from our rental home in Canada 🙂
Today’s post is about the second reason, though. This summer I traveled down to spend some time with Darren Rowse to start putting together some courses all about what it takes to be a Problogger. The first of these is launched now and is completely free of charge!
Start a Blog with Problogger
This blogging for beginners course is called “Getting Started Blogging” and will walk you through six lessons:
- Preparation. In this lesson, you’ll get tips on naming your blog, keyword research, and domain names.
- Platforms. Where will your blog live, and which platform is right for you?
- Types of Blogs. This class is an introduction to some of the different blogging approaches you might consider.
- WordPress. Here, I show you the steps involved in installing and customising your new WordPress blog.
- Adding Killer Content to Your Blog. This lesson is an introduction to the types of content you’ll want to add to your blog.
- Introduction to the Pillars of ProBlogging. Once you’ve got the foundations right, Darren walks you through four areas you’ll need to work on moving forward to build a successful blog.
Darren has more information over at the awesome Problogger.net or you can check out the course details and sign up here.
We look forward to helping you start your next blog, and we would really welcome any feedback you have 🙂
