How to Start a FAB Blog + FREE Printables

So You Want to Start a FAB Blog? Of course you do, everyone’s doing it! Well everyone is trying to but may not be doing it as well as they would like to. I started my Blogger journey over 5 years ago as a way to extend my audience and customer reach for my online Etsy shop, Lovely You Boutique as a Style Blog. And since my transition from Corporate America to becoming a Homeschooler, I have added in more life aspects. So now I present it as a Life + Style Blog. I LOVE where I am now with my blog and can honestly say that it’s pretty FAB NOW.

I have learned soooo much over the course of the years and I’m here to share with you how to start a FAB blog with my ABCs of Blogging plus 3 FREE Printables that will walk you through Step By Step with creating your FAB Blog! So here goes…

Set Up Your Blog in 10 Minutes with Blue Host!

When I first started, I used a free website but when I became serious about this thing called Blogging, I knew that I had to go the self-hosting route in order to really turn my blog into a Brand and Business. After some research, Blue Host was and is the BEST choice out there when it comes to Price and Support. For as little as $3.95/month you can start your blog!

Plus, you can get a FREE domain name. I even suggest purchasing all the domains for your brand….(i.e. .com, .blog, .net, etc) so that no one else can use it. You can purchase a domain name for a few $.
