Well almost for free. Hey but don’t let those four words scare you trust me at the conclusion of this you will see that you will be paying pennies I mean pennies for the value you are getting. Anyone considering mlm marketing without a blog is waging war without some serious ammunition.
What are the advantages of having a MLM Blog you ask? Well my blogger friends that are reading this could certainly list you a multitude of advantages of having one but I will only touch on a few.
First how will you stand out amongst all the noise if you don’t have your own platform to promote YOUinc.? How will you get your message out to the world in such a big way by not taking advantage of this medium.
You don’t want to become known as spammy sammy because all of your monotonous wall posts, tweets and emails regaling us with all your knowledge and exploits do ya?
Not that’s what a blog is to be used for but it is a great tool to showcase your knowledge and expertise in area or areas with a little more humility than was alluded to above.
Second what bigger platform will you have to market your affiliate programs or your primary network marketing system again without spamming all your friends and peeps personal internet space just to promote them. Establish yourself and showcase yourself the right way and people will ASK what you recommend.
Finally third how will you get valuable information like this to people that could potentially help them with less hassle and effort? You guessed it a blog.
Now me I did this the hard way with the help of a real leader and friend Jordan Schultz check out his boot camp if you dare. I wouldn’t trade going that route for anything. Why? Because now I have a way better understanding of whats going on and I can turn around and teach that to others.
Now it took awhile for all this to come together this is true but like I stated above I have a more intimate knowledge of the subject having done it. And so would you but it is really your decision.
Well I guess let’s get to why we are here….
While doing some research I saw a listing that WordPress will put a blog together for you for free….. well almost for free. Click here for the website.
The only requirement is you have to buy a hosting package that will cost you about $10.00 a month if that. I highly recommend Host Gator having been on the phone with them twice today for some applications they didn’t even support.
Instead of turning me away with a “this is not our deal” attitude they looked into the issue and gave me a ton of help. So I can’t say enough about that company except they are great hands down.
As far as a domain name and this is optional OK. I would go with Godaddy (no pun intended) they have some great deals especially on the .info’s like I use you can get these for less than $2.00 a year! And whatever name you come up with for a domain looks more proffessional than JohnDoe@wordpress.blog.com agree?
If your going to have a blog and your driving traffic to said blog you will need an auto responder to keep up with those opt ins and keep everything organized. They recommend aweber and so do I for functionality and great customer service that I can attest to. Also you can’t beat $1.00 for the 1st month of service either.
Now that I have shamelessly promoted everything I believe in. I hope this information helps you. Not only the new marketers but people with downlines trying to help their team members get blogs up and going.
Please comment on anymore resources like this so we can get the word out. To me this is a wonderful responsibility to have.
Thanks for reading. And until next time.
Make Today Your Day,

Thank you Lisa always good to hear from the featured tribe member!! I appreciate it.
Steve
Josh actually a little less than that but man it would be worth $30 bucks to do something I wanted to do anyway. Thanks for the visit.
Steve Shoemaker
Thank you Marcus I just happened upon the ad and thought it would benefit someone. I am definitely with you this is a very painless way to go. Can't say it can't be done now.
Steve Shoemaker
This is good information. I would just recommend that you disclose that the links in the post are affiliate links. I don't feel like you're trying to pull one over on me, but I always feel more comfortable when the author lets his readers know that clicking the links will make him some money.
Steve you have provided the complete solution to setting up your own self hosted blog in this post. I hope that those who have not yet done so follow your advice and take massive action right now!

Hey Steve,
That is awesome that you are sharing this. So many folks think that it takes a lot of money to get an online presence. You just shared who to go online and make money for only about $30. You can't even buy the salt shaker at McDonald's for that much.
Chat with you later…
Josh
That is great info you have there.
Hi Steve,
you're post should convince “the last” – which reason is missing ? I think none. So thank you for sharing your ideas on that important subject.
take care
Oliver
Yes Kyle I agree I mean cant really vouch for them but come on it's wordpress they understand blogs for sure so I think anyone who chooses this route is in good hands.
Steve Shoemaker
Thank you Hector well when I read that ad I couldn't believe it I knew there were some people who would want to read about it. Thanks for the visit.
Steve Shoemaker
Hey Steve…
This is a great post – it's funny, I just created a post (not published yet) in an effort to get rid of all excuses that people can't do this because they're on a budget..
that's what they are.. excuses – you proved it in this post.. and I'll prove it in mine…
Good teamwork
have a great day

Hey Steve,
Great run through on how to set up a “free” wordpress for you mlm! I think it is essential to get a custom domain name otherwise it looks a little tacky!
