The economic recession that is happening in different countries increased unemployment and underemployment. Self-employed business owners closed their establishments for lack of business. Many people have no income or less money to buy food and pay bills. Others filed for bankruptcy to wipe out their unsecured financial obligations. In the absence of available jobs, people are trying to discover how to make money in order to survive.
One way to make money is to create a free blog or blogs. The first question that one will ask is: how much will it cost me to create a free blog? The answer is: NOTHING! How will I create a free blog?
Let me share with you when, why, and how I created this free blog.
It was December 26, 2011 about 8:00 in the evening and I was alone in my computer room. Since I was underemployed or a part-time worker, I was brainstorming how I can make additional money. I searched the Internet and came across Google and Blogger websites. Then, I went to YouTube website and searched for audio blogging tutorials. They were easy to understand and I followed the instructions.
How to Create a Free Blogger Blog
1. Go to YouTube website and type create blogger blogs on the search box. Click on any video blogging tutorial you like, write some notes on a piece of paper, and understand all the instructions. If you are ready to create a new blog, then go to the next step below.
2. Go to Google website to create an email account. Prepare the following information and type them on the appropriate boxes or spaces:
a. Login name (ex. anyname123@gmail.com)
b. Name (ex. Abraham Conhagen)
c. Security question (select one from several questions - ex. What is the name of your dog?)
d. Answer to security question (ex. doggies)
e. Password (ex. 28mary853jane549)
f. Recovery email (your alternate/other email, if any)
g. Voice call (either text or voice mail type where to send your Verification Code)
h. Country (ex. United States)
i. Phone type (mobile, landline, others)
j. Mobile or landline telephone number (ex. 902611947 [no dashes])
k. When your mobile or landline phone rings, a voice will dictate your "Verification Code" (ex. 833947). Write down the code in a piece of paper and enter it on the "Verification Code" box.
3. After you have successfully created your Google email account, go to Blogger website to establish another account for you to create a free blog. Fill out the following requirements:
a. Email address (use email address you entered on 2.a. above (ex. anyname123@gmail.com)
b. Password (use password you entered on 2.e. above (ex. 28mary853jane549)
c. Display name (ex. HardworkingBlogger - this is the name that will be appended after each blog you created and posted)
d. Gender (male or female)
e. Birthday (mm/dd/yyyy - ex. 10/25/1962)
f. After you have submitted the above information to Blogger and Blogger accepted your application, you can start creating your free blog.
4. Inside your Blogger account, you have to choose your Layout, Template, and Settings, in that order.
a. Layout - You can choose one of several layouts presented in your computer screen. You can change the layout anytime even if you have already written and posted several blog articles without losing any of them.
b. Template - You can also choose one of several templates offered by Blogger. Also, you can change the template design anytime you want without losing any blog article or information.
c. Settings - You have to create your Title (ex. IWant2Blog - no spaces) and Description (ex. Entertainment : Scholarship : Blogging - this information will help your reader to know about your blog) for your blog. The name of your Title is mandatory or required while the Description is optional. You can change the Title and/or Description anytime you like without losing your blog articles or information.
d. Compose - Once you have selected your layout, template, title and description for your blog, you can start drafting or writing your first blog article. The Blogger blog writing page is similar to Microsoft Word or any Word program or software. After you have written, reviewed, and corrected the spelling of your blog article, you can click the "Preview" button to view your blog. If your blog is already final, you can click the "Publish" button to publish your first blog on the Internet.
