Well first off don’t use blogger, I made that mistake and now I am working tow blogs, Anyhow go to wordpress and it will walk you though on how to start, you need to come up with the purpose of your blog and where you want it to go. Good luck

I personally prefer wordpress above all the blog websites. Also you really need to get into a niche where plenty of people will want to see your blog. I personally have a blog where I have things from my writing of novels/short stories to fiverr and just random rants on things. So try to make the blog interesting and make sure when you post completed images or videos or whatever it is on the blog that you will have permission to do so. I know with my short story gig I can’t post all the stuff I write for them online because they own the copyright to it. So make sure with the buyer that it is ok to post it other wise they can sue you for usage of their image to make yourself money even though you designed it.

I highly recommend Wordpress, too 🙂



But first you should decide if it should be hosted free by Wordpress (Wordpress.org) or self-hosted wherein you will have to find a web host and install Wordpress.



By the way there are lots of sellers who’ll be able to help you, just search for ‘Wordpress installation’

I have a few Blogger blogs that are completely free and you can monetize. the problem with them is that Google can remove you for any small thing and just delete all your posts but the same applies for Wordpress. If you opt for a free Wordpress blog, I haven’t found a way that you can monetize it and meet their TOS (although I haven’t used one for a long time so that may have changed!) I prefer paying for the hosting and domain name - I have a host that allows me unlimited domains and have three so far.



To get the free ones, you’ll have [yourdomainname}.blogspot.com or [yourdomainname].wordpress.com

Wordpress is the best blog software and there is much support for it, including pages showing you what to do and videos on You Tube. You can also go to the Wordpress site and get lots of info.
