- WordPress – WordPress is the “software” that will power your new blog.
- Design & Themes – To make your blog attractive design-wise you will need to install WordPress themes.

- Mividy sehatra ianao ary mampiantrano amin'ny mpampiantrano tranonkala mitovy

- Hahazo varotra tsara kokoa ianao rehefa miantsena ireo domaine ary mijanona mitokana.
- Mampihena ny risika ianao amin'ny fividianana azy amin'ny orinasa misaraka.

hametraka Plugins
Inona no plugin?
Plugins – as the name suggests are tools that add functionality to your WordPress blog. The best thing which I like about WordPress is – these plugins.
Plugins can turn your site from a simple blog to a fully-featured e-commerce store, a user forum, a video streaming site, a member’s only site, and much more. Of course, you can combine most of these plugins together to add huge functionality to your blog.
Ohatra, raha mampiasa ny tranokalanao WordPress ianao mba hivarotra vokatra an-tserasera dia mety ho tombontsoa hanampy ny forum hanohanana izany.
Isaky ny te hampiditra fiasa ao amin'ny tranonkala WordPress ianao, dia jereo ny plugins alohan'ny hijery ny hamorona zavatra ny tenanao / mandoa mpamorona iray hanaovana azy ho anao.
Mora ny fametrahana plugins, ny ampahany sarotra dia manapa-kevitra ny plugins tianao apetraka. Misy an'arivony plugins azo maimaim-poana, misy koa ny plugins maro be azo alaina.
Where I can find more WordPress Plugins?
Ny loharano roa tsara indrindra amin'ny Internet ho an'ny Plugins WordPress dia:
1. WordPress.org – Tons of free plugins! But beware – some of the plugins are demo versions of the paid ones. Still, it’s a good place to find what you are looking for.
2. CodeCanyon – Home to some of the best plugins on the internet. Although they are paid, they offer really good value for money. I usually get my plugins from here.
Ary misy tombony vitsivitsy azo avy amin'ny fandoa vola karama avy amin'ny CodeCanyon:
- You get 6 months of free support from the plugin developer. So, if something is not working, you can approach the plugin developer via CodeCanyon ary hanamboatra izany ho anao izy. Inona koa no azonao atao ny manitatra ny fanohanana ara-dalàna mandritra ny 12 volana amin'ny alàlan'ny fandoavam-bola.
- Ny plugins dia kalitao avo lenta, manadihady fatratra CodeCanyon. So, there are no chances of any malware in them. I had a bad experience in the past when I bought some free plugins from some random site.
Vantany ianao dia nanapa-kevitra amin'ny plugin iray toy izao ny fomba fametrahanao azy.
Ahoana ny fametrahana Plugin WordPress
Dingana 1. From the Admin Dashboard select Plugins -> Add New
Dingana 2. Mikaroka ny plugin tianao, na mampidira azy raha manana ireo rakitra ianao
Dingana 3. Kitiho ny fametrahana, ary omeo minitra vitsivitsy hametrahana azy, ny lehibe kokoa ny plugin dia ho ela kokoa ny fametrahana.
Dingana 4. From the Plugins -> Plugins page activate your plugin, depending on the plugin you are using you may then be prompted to fill in some additional settings.
Here are some of my favorite Plugins:
Plugins maimaim-poana:
- Contact form 7 (Free)– This is a simple free email contact form for your blog. It’s easy to set up, always works, and doesn’t take up much space!
- Askimet (Free) - Raha toa ianao ka mieritreritra ny hamela ny fanehoan-kevitra ao amin'ny bilaoginao WordPress dia mila ny plugin spam commentaire Askimet. Ity plugin ity dia mampihena be ny isan'ireo fanehoan-kevitra azonao.
- Yoast SEO (Free) – Download this plugin before you download any. It’s a MUST HAVE plugin for SEO.
Plugins karama:
- Mpanadihady Visual (Mandoa) – It’s THE BEST Page Builder for WordPress. Just drag and drop and you can create stunning page layouts in minutes. Love it!
- Ninja Popups (Paid) – If you ever want to have the ability for the user to signup for your email newsletter from your blog, this is the plugin to have. Few clicks and you get a beautiful popup done.
- BackupGuard (Paid) – It’s too easy to accidentally break your WordPress blog when installing a 3rd Party Plugin or theme, make sure you always manana backups. And this plugin does just that. It’s a lifesaver!
Fomba ahazoana vola amin'ny bilaoginao
Now that you have your WordPress blog nicely set up, with some content, a lohahevitra WordPress slick, and some great functionality added by Plugins it’s time to monetize your blog! There are two core methods to for making money from your blog, and everything boils down to these
Affiliate:
Affiliate marketing is where you promote other company’s products directly and earn a commission from any sales made.
For example, say you have a football blog, you could add affiliate links to football boots in your posts and make a commission off any boots sold, typically this would be 5 – 15%.
Misy teti-bolam-barotra an-jatony efa misy any, tokony handinika izany bebe kokoa ianao amin'ny miankina, dia ho gaga ianao hoe firy ny orinasa manana tetika. Amazon offers one of the most popular ones, it’s easy too!
Add special affiliate links to ANY product on the Amazon and make a commission of 4 – 10%. Amazon may not be the best paying site (this will vary wildly depending on the niche of your blog), but they do offer a HUGE range of products.
dokam-barotra
Adverts are simple, got spare space on your blog, place an advert, often you will find these placed in the sidebar and within the content of any articles. Adverts can generate anything from $0.05 to $5 per click depending on the niche of your blog.
Google AdSense is the de facto online advertising company, simply fill in a 2-page signup form and you can start serving adverts to all your visitors. You don’t have to talk directly to companies to sell your advertising space.
Google’s advertising pay-outs differ massively from niche to niche, a highly competitive niche like credit cards, insurance, loans, etc.. will pay higher than less competitive ones.
Izany dia noho ny toetran'ny mpanao dokam-barotra manao tolotra hametraka ny dokam-barotra ataon'izy ireo, amin'ity halehiben'ny 'malaza' ity ny bilaoginao bebe kokoa ny hahafahanao mahazo vola.
Typically, you might expect something like a 0.5 – 3% click-through rate, i.e. the number of your visitors who actually click on the adverts.
Ny fifangaroana tsara amin'ireo paikady roa ireo dia matetika atoro.
Next Steps
Now that your WordPress blog has been set up and you’ve monetized it’s time to start expanding and really pushing your blog.
Here are my top tips going forward:
- Manaova fandaharana matetika, you won’t always be in the mood to write content, use the built-in post scheduler so you can write multiple posts when you feel like it while still allowing regular content to flow. Articles every few days are better than 5 on the same day. Here is another Vahaolana automation WordPress.
- Mianara ny zava-drehetra momba ny SEO (search engine optimization) that you can, this is a huge topic, you will never fully learn it, but the more you know the more successful blog will be.
- Miezaha foana, your blog will unlikely blossom overnight, it takes months of hard work, but in the end dedication and good content pays off.
Good luck and start blogging!
