If you don’t already have a domain, you can register your chosen domain at the same time as you sign up for web hosting.
The hosting company that I recommend you sign up to is called SiteGround.
If you visit www.sitehost.online you’ll get through to their WordPress page, which is where you need to start.
Figure 1.1
What’s so special about SiteGround?
Trust me, I’ve been around and I can tell you that there are plenty of web hosts that are nothing short of garbage and I don’t want you to get caught out by choosing the wrong one.
As you are starting out, I recommend that you go for the shared hosting SiteGround ‘StartUp’ plan.
This allows you to host one website and it is the cheapest option. You should be able to get this for under $5.00 USD (or equivalent) a month and there are often special offers making it lower than this.
I loved helping people, still do. BUT, I love helping people who help themselves.
If you take the first step I’ll be right at your side for the next 1, 2, 1000.
But people who complain about their problems without actually doing anything about them, I have no time for.
So I saw traditional therapy as hindering rather than helping people. I met a guy called Dr Anthony Grant and loved what he was doing with Coaching Psychology.
I made it my mission to learn everything about it.
I got good very quickly (that neurosis again) and started coaching some amazing people to do even more, from lawyers and bankers to actors and diplomats… I earnt a great reputation and started getting interest from people who wanted to learn from me.
Our first “become a life coach” seminar was 10 of my clients, within 18 months we had a business that was making $8 million a year and we’d franchised it all over Australia.
12 months later we’d sold master franchise rights in Australia, Singapore, Ireland, South Africa and the UK.
Sensing the opportunity we moved to England to look after things ourselves.
Lets just say that England proved difficult to adjust to, because a year later we were back here in Oz, we’d sold the franchise rights to the UK and I’d started a company called Aussiepreneur.
To add a Solid Fill Layer, we click the Fill Layer Icon at the bottom of the Layers Panel. Next we click on Solid Color at the top of the pop-up menu. When the Color Picker Panel appears select Black. This is usually a good starting place and easily changed later on.
Our final step in this project is to sharpen the image. An easy way to do that is to use a High Pass Filter.
First, we have to create a new layer for the filter. We can do this by right clicking on the Flower Layer in the layers panel and then choosing Duplicate Layer near the top of the pop-up menu.
So, with the new layer highlighted, select
Filter > Other > High Pass
This will change the appearance of the flower to a gray color and an adjustment window will pop-up, as shown on the left side of Figure 74. A good rule of thumb is to start with the slider all the way to the left and then slowly move it to the right until you can just barely see the details in the sample window of the adjustment panel. You may want to experiment with more pronounced details to see the difference.
In the remainder of this tutorial I’m going to take you through the creation of a WordPress website using my domain www.sarahmcharry.com as an example. I’ll start right at the beginning and you’ll watch the website unfold, lesson by lesson. If you work alongside me, you can build your own website (or blog) at the same pace.
Lesson 2 is for those who don’t have WordPress preinstalled on their domain. I’ll explain how to install WordPress with some of the common scripts that should let you do this with a few clicks of the mouse. If you’ve already got WordPress installed you can skip Lesson 2 and go on to Lesson 3.
Yes, but you must change your domain’s Domain Name Servers (DNS) to indicate where your website will be hosted.
This is necessary so that the domain name system (which drives the Internet) can translate your domain name into a specific IP (Internet Protocol) address that identifies the server that hosts your website. I admit that that sounds a bit technical but it’s really quite simple.
“But, what if I run out of topics to vlog about?”
If you’re experiencing self-doubt or hesitation, rest assured that we all experience this when jumping into a new project. However, if you are legitimately terrified that you won’t be able to come up with ideas for your vlogs, let’s stop and think and go back to chapter 4. That’s the chapter about defining your concept and asking yourself questions to ensure you’re picking the right niche for your vlog.
The truth is if you pick a subject you are truly passionate about, you’ll never run out of things to vlog about. Think of someone in your life who is obsessed with a specific sport. Do they ever stop talking about it and their favorite team, the games coming up, the new recruit, etc.? That’s your goal. Find something that you love to talk about with your friends, a topic that comes up all the time, and vlog about that.
Generating Ideas
Let’s get to how you can actually come up with some topics for that vlog of yours.
I have a friend who we will call Mely. She makes vlogs about food and recipes. We were talking about our vlogs, and she told me she needs to have her brainstorming session of the week in order to come up with a topic. I thought she was working on some sort of unique project and had to meet with her team to brainstorm. Nope. Mely has brainstorming sessions every week by herself. She sits down and comes up with ideas for her next vlog.
