Welcome to Week 1 of Profitable Blogging Jumpstart!

Over the next 10 weeks I will take you through everything you need to do to set up a profitable blog.

This course is not like other 'start a blog' courses that just teach you how to set up a blog and then leave you to figure out how to do all the rest (including make money from it!) by yourself.

In Profitable Blogging Jumpstart I will teach you everything you need to do to plan, create, design and grow your blog AND make money from blogging.

One thing that is frequently overlooked when starting a blog is the planning and research that you need to do before you start. It's easy to get so excited about starting a new blog, that you jump in with both feet and only realise later all the things you should've thought about BEFORE you started.

For this reason Week 1 is all about PLANNING and RESEARCH

In this module we are going to look at

• How to pick a profitable niche
• How to conduct thorough research into existing blogs in your chosen niche
• How to choose the perfect blog name
• The difference between hosted and self-hosted blogging (and why I recommend self-hosted)
• How to choose a good blog host

I know you are itching to get started on your blog, but please promise me you'll do this week of planning and preparation first - you'll be so grateful you did later on!

Ok, let's get cracking!
