How does wordpress work?

[Ask Steve]

At some point, if you want a professional blog, you are going to need to own your blog and not use anyone else's free platform. You need to have the options to do what you want to do, market in any and all of the ways you can, and succeed without limits. All of that equals one things; Your Own WordPress Blog on your own hosting account.
1. Have your own domain name
2. Have a hosting account that includes WordPress install with it
3. Connect everything you do online to this
Most of the host companies these days will give you a domain name for free with your hosting. You are only looking at $50 to $100 a year for all of it. You will be the one in control and you will own the blog!
The install of WordPress is one click an filling in your site name and login information. From there you can log in, add posts and videos as you like and design it to look the way you want. A quick search will help you find 1000s of free themes you can choose from and even modify to work you want. You will also find an entire community creating plugins to expand the functionality of your WordPress based site.
As for getting people - you will still need to let people know you exist. Post your videos on YouTube with a link back to your site; Use Twitter and Facebook to let people know what you are about and what your latest post has to say; Most importantly become a member of the community your site belongs to. Go to other blogs and forums. Be a part of the discussion there. Add value and include a link to you in your signature. The more people get to know you the more they will want to see what is coming next on your site.
Have fun with it and Good Luck!
