Earnings Exposed

Yesterday, I talked about starting a blog. You want to get a good domain and get strong hosting. Then you want to pick your software. I’m going to assume you took my advice and installed WordPress. If you did, fantastic. If not, that’s alright. But, if you did, let’s continue now with the next step.

Picking the Design That is BEST For Your Blog

I find that one of the hardest things to do is pick a blog design that really looks great. I have some blogs that really look great and I have others that just look horrible. If you can’t afford to get a good blog design, that’s fine. You can get a free one. If you’re one of those people that can, I suggest checking out Unique Blog Designs. But, we’ll talk about them some other time.

The trick to picking a good design is first knowing what you want to gain from it. If you’re like some people and want to maximize your ad placement, you’re going to want to find some good adsense themes. There are some great ones out there that really can make you some good money if your traffic is click happy.

But, let’s, for the sake of this article, assume that you are looking to get a theme that suits your blog more than your pocket. If that is the case, you want to sit down and think about colors. Since we’re playing around with the idea of a MMA blog, you may want something a bit more aggressive. This is a money making theme so green just seemed to fit. You want colors that are going to enhance your readers experience.

For instance, if I was making a MMA blog, I would use reds or blacks. It makes sense to have more aggressive colors because it’s an aggressive topic. But, let’s say I was making a biology blog. I would probably use a greater array of blues. Why? It’s a softer topic, not about beating people up, and blue is a softer color. I love blues for themes, but it doesn’t fit for everything.

What you do with your theme depends on how you want to really work it to your advantage. This theme we’re using is good because of ad placement, but also because of how it looks. There are other themes out there that look great, but don’t have good ad placement. Find your balance and you’ll find that the theme compliments the content.

In the end, the theme you pick all depends on you. Check out different sites for some great themes. Go free if you don’t have the budget or spend a lot and get a kick ass unique theme. Whatever you do, though, remember the one cardinal rule: your content is why people are visiting your blog. That’s why tomorrow I’ll talk a little about writing that real good content.
