Do you want to create a new blog for Amazon? It is not a hard task. In this article, I’ve given full guidelines.
If you follow this post, I hope you can start a website for amazon affiliation from today.
Chapter 1. Setting up a blog from scratch
The following measures are exactly how I created a self-hosted blog for amazon:
- Select a good web host and domain name
- Point your domain DNS to your host
- On your new host Install WordPress
- Log into your WordPress and write your introductory post.
- And that’s all.
Select a good web host and domain name
To start a self-hosted blog, you will first need a domain name and a hosting web account.
Your domain is the name of your blog. It’s not a physical object that you can see, or touch but just a series of letters that distinguishes your website, such as the name of a book or section. Your domain “shows” your visitors what nature of the blog they are touring.
On the other hand, Web hosting is where you store your blog content – words, blog themes, images, videos, etc.
Domain names – Where to register?
Pick and register your domain names through a registrar domain. GoDaddy, NameCheap, and Domain.com are among the most popular registrars market.
Note that it is essential to separate the domain registration from your host. Just because your web host gives a free domain doesn’t imply you should let the hosting company manage your domain.
Web Hosting – Where to Host Your Blog?
When picking a web host for your blog, here are the five portions to think about:
- Reliability – Your blog should be enduring and be online 24/7.
- Speed – You need a host that stores swiftly because speed searches rankings and influences user experience.
- Price – Hosting with <$ 5 / mo is a good start. You don’t need a premium service at this point.
- Room to Grow – You will need hosting upgrades (additional features, more server power, etc.) as your blog grows.
- Support – The internet is constantly evolving, and it’s always good to have someone to support you technically.
Point the domain’s DNS to your host
Next, you will need to update the DNS record at the domain name registrar (where you registered your domain in step 1) to point to your host’s servers (InMotion Hosting, Hostinger, or SiteGround).
DNS stands for Domain Name System and is used to direct any incoming user to the server’s IP address.
Install WordPress on your web host
To start blogging with WordPress, you must first install the system on your web host. This can be done manually or automatically using a one-click installer application. Both methods are relatively straightforward and can be done quickly.
One-click WordPress installation
These days, most bloggers don’t install their WordPress manually.
With the support of one-click installation services like Softaculous and Mojo Market Place (depending on the web host you use), the installation process is straightforward. It can be done with just a few clicks.
Find your WordPress admin page and log in
Once you have installed your WordPress system, you will be given a URL to log into your WordPress admin page. In most cases, the URL will be something like this (depending on the folder you installed WordPress in).
Chapter 2. Designing the Appearance of Your Blog
Now that we have the basic WordPress ready, it’s time to dive deeper. Like all CMS, a WordPress blog is made up of the main elements 3:
- CMS Core – the system we installed earlier using the automatic installer,
- Themes – the “front end” of your blog, this is where you control the look of your blog, and
- Extensions – an add-on that gives you control and functions over your blog (more on that later)
- The official directory of WordPress themes

Chapter 3. Adding Features with Plugins
What is the WordPress plugin?
Bloggers use a plugin to add all kinds of functions to their WordPress blogs. For example, you can:
- Create an online store using the WordPress WooCommerce plugin
- Create a job board using the WP Job Manager plugin
- Create a Podcast Website Using a Simple Podcast Press Plugin
Chapter 4. Finding a niche and creating content
How to choose the right blogging niche?
To find the right blogging niche, here are the key points to consider.
Meet a need If you want to learn more about a topic. Chances are other people will like to learn more about that topic.
What is your unique knowledge? How can you provide something special that no one else can? It could even be through an interview with an expert.
A topic that hasn’t changed (evergreen content)
While the controversy is good, that doesn’t guarantee your topic will be here next week. For example, suppose you are passionate about Vine and start a blog dedicated to this topic. In that case, you will run out of content. It’s best to focus on a more general topic, such as “the latest social media trends.
Chapter 5. Increase Your Blog Readership
Here’s what you can do to make your blog more readable:
- Optimize your blog by using headers, sub-headers, bullets, or numbered lists. It helps your content appear more organized.
- Divide your blog content into sections or paragraphs. A wall of text can seem intimidating and overwhelm readers.
- Avoid using fancy fonts. Stick to secure web fonts like Arial, Georgia, Times, etc.
- Use simple English and write in short sentences. Aim for the readability of your article for an eighth-grade student.
Chapter 6. Making Money From Blogging
The first step in monetizing your blog is to decide your limits.
- Do you want ads on your site?
- What type of ads will you accept?
- What type of ads are you going to ban from your site?
- What percentage of ads to content do you want?
