The first step is to sign up! You can indicate your desired domain name which we will check to see if it's free. If it is we will get back to you to confirm that this is domain you really want, if it isn't we'll get back to you with some alternatives we think are cool and are free. You of course have the freedom to choose a different name.
If the domain is free we will buy it for you, and we will provide hosting along with it. We will automatically install the newest version of Wordpress for you, along with some pre-installed themes. If you have time beforehand you can take a look at the Wordpress Documentation, and you can choose some Wordpress Themes for us to pre-install.
Once we are done we will send you login info for your blog and everything else you need to get started. In a few days you will also be able to view a wealth of information on the Blogtastique Management Page. You will be able to order some services for your blog, like including social bookmarking buttons, and so on.
Once you start blogging we will contact you personally to talk a bit about your blog. We are interested in things like what you will write about, your main niche, and so on. We want to determine the best way to market your blog. We will then discuss and agree on an ad structure for the site. The advertisements will be styled to the site and relevant to the content.
From then on, your one and only task is to blog! We will send you monthly reviews of how you're doing, we'll discuss your marketing plan if we think we could do better, in other words, we will work together and collaborate to create the best site content-wise and earnings-wise as well.
Once you have some revenue going we will share it between us. The way this works is simply: the better you do, the higher your share. Blogs which are just started typically receive a share of 50% out of all the ad revenue. However, once your blog develops we can give you 70% or 80% even!
There are three underlying guidelines that govern the whole of Blogtastique.
