How to Start a Blog or Website from Scratch (Even If You’re Not Techy)

Have you ever dreamed of starting a blog or website but felt totally overwhelmed by the tech side of things? Maybe you’re a stay-at-home mama like me, just trying to bring in a little extra income without leaving your babies. I get it. When I first started, I had zero design experience and felt completely lost.

But here’s the good news: if I can do it, you can do it too—and you don’t need a tech degree to make it happen!

Let me walk you through exactly how I built my website using Hostinger, and how you can do the same—even if the idea of launching a blog feels scary right now.

Why a Blog or Website is a Smart Start

Starting a blog or website is one of the best ways to kick off your affiliate marketing journey. It becomes your home base—your space to share tips, promote affiliate products (hello, passive income!), and build a brand around your story.

For us moms, especially those juggling diapers, dinnertime, and daily routines, a blog lets us work on our time. Whether during nap time or after bedtime, you can slowly build something amazing that supports your family.

I Used Hostinger to Build My Site (And Here’s Why You Should Too)

I went with Hostinger because it’s affordable, beginner-friendly, and honestly—it’s kind of a hidden gem.

What I Loved About Hostinger:

• 🛠 AI Website Builder: I didn’t have to worry about coding or design. Hostinger asked me a few questions and boom—it built a site layout for me that actually looked good!

• 💡 Built-in AI Tools: From content suggestions to design tweaks, their tools helped me look professional (even though I had no clue what I was doing).

• 💸 Budget-Friendly Hosting: Starting out, I didn’t want to drop hundreds of dollars. Hostinger made it easy to start small and scale up later.

If you’re just beginning, Hostinger is perfect because it gives you step-by-step guidance and doesn’t feel overwhelming.

Other Easy Website Builders for Moms

While I love Hostinger, here are a few other great platforms if you want to explore:

🌼 Wix

Wix is great for total beginners. It’s drag-and-drop, meaning you can literally move things around with your mouse. It also offers AI tools like Wix ADI, which designs your site based on questions you answer.

🌼 Squarespace

Squarespace has beautiful templates and a smooth editor. It's great if you want your blog to look super polished without doing a ton of work. They also have eCommerce tools if you plan to sell digital or physical products later.

🌼 WordPress with Bluehost

This combo is perfect if you want more customization options. WordPress has a steeper learning curve, but it’s powerful and flexible. Bluehost offers one-click WordPress installation and lots of support for beginners.

Final Thoughts: Just Start (You’ll Learn As You Go)

Mama, I want to tell you something I wish I had heard sooner: you don’t have to know it all before you begin. Starting your blog doesn’t have to be perfect. Just take one step at a time.

Whether you’re passionate about motherhood, meal planning, DIY, fashion, or just sharing your life—your voice matters. And your blog can become a powerful tool for building community and income.

If you’re ready to try, I recommend starting with Hostinger. It's what worked for me—and if I can figure it out between feedings and playdates, so can you.

Sending you courage, coffee, and all the mama vibes 💕

a mama with two tiny reasons 💕
