Hello everyone,i really need some help,motivation,credit card.I am really motivated to start my blog the problem is that i need help,right now i dont have a credit card and almost no one and my family,and the little porcent that haves credit card in my family arent going to give it to me to buy a domain name.Yes,the problem is the domain name,not the hosting.
What i would like to know is where would you start if you wanted to build a wordpress blog and you cant.Right now there are alot of providers but i dont want to use those ugly sub domains.I really need help with this,i am in a really bad economic situation and need help.And believe me that i am really motivated.

    Sell something of yours on Craigslist or a rummage sale, or collect some cans and return them for the deposit.

    Then go to Walmart or another department store and get a VISA prepaid card.

    If you have a merchant account you can request a debit card. I use my Paypal card for everything..

  • Hi Wowcolombia1,

    Can you design graphics? Can you develop Wordpress themes with custom graphics and layout? Can you do niche, Amazon/Clickbank product and keyword research? Can you do data entry tasks? What other things can you do that'd be useful for others with PayPal accounts?

    You can offer your services in exchange for the service buyer purchasing the domain you want on GoDaddy or NameCheap, of course using details you'll provide for registrant info...

    Hope this blog post of mine motivates and inspires you. That's the startup story of our 5-year old ICT outsourcing company...

    I usually use two domain registrars when I am looking to register a domain name. Godaddy.com and Namecheap.com

    Since you have money in your Paypal account (and hopefully it is enough to buy a domain name) you can go and create an account with Namecheap.com

    After you create a Namecheap account you can use their system to deposit/transfer money from your Paypal account to you Namecheap account. From there, you can use the funds in your Namecheap account to register a domain name.

    After you get yourself a domain name, get your hands on a web hosting account that uses cPanel with Fantastico. You can use the program known as Fantastico to auto install your wordpress blog.

    Note: There are other control panels like cPanel with Fantastico that can do the same thing. What web hosting company do you use?

    By the way, I have an about me page setup on my website that talks about my past. Its is nothing really special, but it might be worth a read.

    hi,
    it seems like you have got a paypal account that you use to transfer funds. i will advise you to get a domain name for yourself which you can easily register via namecheap.com as they support paypal for fund transfer.
    after you are done with the domain name you can open an account in blogger.com (FREE) and link your domain name with blogger.com.
    that way you can have your domain name and your blog where you don’t have to pay for your hosting. If you can add Google Adsence to your blog then you can get some money from there as well.

    Kindest,
    Alex

    You need motivation? This is something I can tell you that will disappear in time, if you need anything to succeed in internet marketing, it is a compelling reason to get off your rusty dusty each day, and work at changing your circumstances.

    Believe me, finding that reason really inspires you to work hard, and change things around.
