Starting a blog was one of the best decisions I ever made. In less than a year, I was able to quit my full time job and making a full time living from my blog. Each month I make thousands of dollars online and blogging has allowed me so many opportunities.
"Fifteen minutes is good enough to setup a new blog/website with Bluehost, with the lowest cost. TweetWhen I started out as a new blogger, I made over $17,000 blogging in 6 months. This was all in my spare time too!

Pick your plan
I would start with the Basic plan. It’s more than enough for bloggers (it’s what I use!). You can always upgrade later if you want.Select your domain name
This is important, so put some thought into blog name. When I picked my blog name, I wanted the name to relate to saving money, getting out of debt and budgeting, so Believe In A Budget make sense. It’s also easy to remember and type. I am really happy with my blog name!

Choose your plan
To get the best price, select the 36 month plan (this is the plan I have!) This will save you money and you don’t have to renew your blog every year. I have heard horror stories from other bloggers that forgot to renew and their blog expired. Don’t make this mistake!If you aren’t sure if you want 36 months, at least select the 12 month plan. This way you can test the waters so to speak, and still get the FREE domain name.
Bluehost offers refunds, so don’t feel like you are locked into a contract. It’s pro-rated, so if for some reason you want to stop everything, Bluehost will work with you!
Once you have checked out, it’s time to install WordPress. Bluehost makes it super easy to create a WordPress blog. They do most of the work for you!
In Bluehost, click on the hosting tab and then the cpanel tab. Scroll down and select Install WordPress.
Next use the drop down box and click on your domain name.
Fill out the form. Make sure you select a really safe and secure password.
CONGRATS! You did it!
