Creating a blog on blogger for ebay sellers.

So you want to bring more traffic to your ebay store or auctions by blogging? Well there's a few things you want to do first.

To make it easier on yourself use two browsers so you can read the blog in one browser and create the bog in the other one.

Also, if you're going to have a blog to bring traffic to your ebay store then make sure you have the ?refid=store at the end of your store url. Mine would be: http://stores.com/bird-oasis?refid=store

If you have a google account, you can skip to the next paragraph. If you don't have a google account You will need to go to google.com and sign up for a blogger account account. Boy I should check to see if they have a referral fee. haha.

Once you've confirmed the account then you go to blogger dot com.

You want to click on the New Blogger link, unless you have an old blogger account then click on the old blogger link. I know, it seems obvious.

You'll eventually end up at the Blogger dashboard.

Now find the link to Create a Blog. Click it gently.

The title of your blog can be anything you want. Your business name, your ebay store name, your street name if you want. It won't matter too much, because the title of the articles you place in the blog will be bait, the eye catcher. We'll cover that more later.

The next line is the address of the blog. You can try your ebay username, your favorite username, make up a new username, or if the blog title is something different, then try using the title with no spaces.

Now click check availability just under the address field.
If your ebay username is taken, it's no big deal, just add a number or letter. If your business name is taken, again don't worry about it, just be creative by adding a number or an extra letter, or even "Thereal" before it, again no spaces.. Without the quotes...

The advanced button is for hosting the blog else ware, I'm not covering that in this article. Click the Continue button.

You will be presented with different templates.

Choose a template by clicking on the round radio button under the desired template. Then click continue.

Way to go! You're Blog has been created
