1. Register your Domain.

You can do this at places like godaddy.com, bluehost.com and netfirms.

2. Select a hosting plan.
I recommend Bluehost or Netfirms for hosting.



Godaddy is another option but I haven’t used them so I can’t make a personal recommendation.

Unlimited refers to the files, images and documents that make up your website. The same is true for podcast episodes with most shared hosting services.



3. Pick a WordPress theme.

There are a ton of free themes available. If your going to use a free theme use one from within the official wordpress free theme directory. There are many sites that offer free wordpress themes and you run the risk of malware and possible virus issues with some of these themes.

I definitely recommend using a premium theme. They are more professional looking and offer more customization options.

I use and recommend Elegant Themes and DER PRINZ.

Elegant Themes offers dozens of quality themes to choose from for a low annual fee. They have special customization options that make it easier to set up than a basic theme.



DER PRINZ is a set of solid Premium Themes which I have used for multiple sites in the past.

I still have mobiletechweekly.com on the Branford Magazine theme which is a DER PRINZ Premium Theme.

www.podcasthero.com uses an Elegant Theme!

4. Specialty Sites: Squeeze pages, Sales pages and Membership sites

There are a number of wordpress plugins that can create cool squeeze pages, sales pages and membership sites. I’ve played with a few of these and find them to be complex and / or glitchy. The one that I’ve decided on is a complete Premium WordPress Theme and not a plugin or widget. Optimize Press makes all of these pages easy with ready made customizable templates for creating a membership site, sales page or squeeze page.
