What You Need to Get Started

To kickstart your fitness and health blogging journey, you'll need a few essential tools and skills.

First of you need a domain name. I use websites like Namecheap or Hostinger. Second, you need a self-hosted WordPress site For this you can use platforms like Hostinger once again (which I use personally for this blog). I've partnered with them to give you a 20% discount so if you decide to start you'll pay 20% less, a win-win. Here are the prices below.
