This is the second week of my ‘Start A Web Blog’ and so far I have written this blog in a random way.
You have by now gathered that I am beginning my learning process of writing a blog and am a complete beginner at blogging.
I have been an Internet Marketer for some two years and have learned a great deal about this subject - Internet Marketing. There is much much more for me to learn. Internet Marketing is an immensely unlimited subject. One that has no ending and learning the ins and outs of Internet Marketing is an un-ending process.
I have built websites; have tried Adsense (http://www.Adsense-Making-Money.com ) & its relative Adwords.
I am selling eBooks online (http://www.SuperValueBuys.com ), with some success.
I have built my portal website (http://www.AshUmer.co.uk ), leading to all my online ventures.
I have formed an Internet Marketing Club (http://www.LondonInternetMarketingClub.com ), to establish a group of like-minded people wanting to learn how to make money online from their own homes, with very little capital.
My latest endeavour now is to enter the world of blogging (http://www.StartAWebBlog.com ), with the aim of learning how to blog successfully.
Here is hoping that many of you who are in the same boat as me will join in this quest of ‘How to Start Blogging Online Successfully’. The aim here would be to make some residual income while blogging.
Hence the birth of this blog, StartaWebBlog.com
Why did I choose this domain?
Why not just, StartABlog?
This latter was my intention but someone else had beaten me to this well sought after domain. Hence, I had to settle for a domain that was simple, straight to the heart of the subject and a phrase that I felt that was search engine friendly.
A Week after I had registered it and started the blog, questions started forming in my mind.
Why did I not do a keyword search for a more appropriate domain name? Why did I use the two word phrase Web Blog? Does anyone search Google with this phrase? Surely they would use Weblog and not Webblog?
Using the Google keyword tool, I did manage to find a well searched phrase; Start Blogging Online. I have now registered this domain; StartBloggingOnline and hope to make a transition to it later. Meanwhile, I will carry on with my original StartaWebBlog.com.
What do you think?
Constructive feed back will be most appreciated.
Ok now back to the purpose of the blog.
I felt that this blog, StartaWebBlog should be a good vehicle for all of us to start learning about blogging. How to start and what steps to take in order to develop this blog, gradually as time progresses.
As you have gathered by now, I have chosen the path to set up this blog by its own domain and hosting using Wordpress.
To accomplish this, I purchased a CD with reseller rights of some excellent videos. This set of videos is titled Wordpress Blogs Made Easy. The CD helped me to install Wordpress and set this blog.
I know there are many more enhancements to make; such as, change theme, the header, edit the sidebar, insert an optin (subscriber) form, and improve the layout; but I believe, the basics have now been set in place.
Please give me some suggestions and constructive comments.

There is much to learn and do and, to this end, I have plunged in and joined Yaro Staraks Coaching Program which happens to be the best for teaching you How To Blog and Make Money as well!
If you join Yaro Starak’s Couching Program from this link and email me the proof (which I will verify from Yaro) then I will give you the Blogging Videos FREE.
Lets hope that we all benefit from my experience of this Blog Master Mind . I have heard so much praise for Yaro’s techniques. So far, having looked at the paid member’s area I am very pleased. There is much more there to learn and digest.
For those of you who would like a much more rounded experience of learning to make money on the internet, I would recommend the Aussie, David Cavanagh, who I was very impressed with on his last visit to London, and whose course, a whopping $5000 for one year’s coaching is an excellent investment if you want to make some serious money !
His paid membership site is mind boggling and the vast number of educational videos are worth every penny of this membership fee.
A Must for the Serious Entrepreneur Looking To Make Money On The Internet.
So far, my efforts have been as a very beginner but I hope, as time progresses, and with the help of some of you guys and girls that join in, this blog will develop into a powerful authoritative site for those who will and are to follow our footsteps.
I am hoping that this blog will be the beginning of a new venture, a learning venue for all of us.
More to follow ……….
