Creating a WordPress blog is generally a three-step process; and you would find it beneficial to do that as soon as you can. One of the best sources of traffic for your online business is blogging. Unlike your business website which can more or less remain static, your blog can be updated daily, even hourly, with fresh content. This makes blogging the best way to regularly update niche related content. Besides, regular updates increase your chances of being indexed often by search engine bots. WordPress in particular is a powerful internet marketing tool that is also easy to use.

You need to come up with a domain name and get your hands on resources from the WordPress site. Get the applications you'll need ready; a text editor such as notepad and the browser of your choice. Check if your PHP and SQL versions meet minimum requirements (4.3 for PHP and 4.1.2 for mySQL). Check web hosting requirements and get the ftp client software ready. Make a draft of the pages you want. You can even setup a website wire frame. You will also want to add a contact page or an about-the-blogger section.
