blogging

Running self hosted wordpress under your own domain name serves the best blogging platform along with hosting for SEO reasons, you also have control over your blog, unlike when blogging with a thrid party service, they have control over the blog, not you, they just give you access to edit/add posts. If your looking for a paid option, aka self hosted wordpress, Host Gator is your best bet, I can give you a cash-back if you PM me, your looking at $10.00/per month, then $10.00/per year for a domain name. If you want free hosting, then blogger.com is your best bet, but you won't be making good money with Blogger. I run a blog on making money online, check it out, it would help you out in these bad times :( Go to my profile and you can view it from there :)

it's hard to earn money in blogging especially if you're just a starter. i think the best way to begin it is to ask your friends to read and comment bout your blog. this way their friends will possibly see your blog site. all im saying is friends will be of great help.

I've recently started to blog and I set it up on Blogger.com. When I get enough traffic to it I hope to start earning from adverts and affiliates. There's even a site that pays you $10 a month just for putting a banner on your site regardless of how much traffic the site has got. I'd also recommend the Problogger website where there are loads of hints and tips on how to make money from a blog. The owner of that site does very well out of blogging and the advice he offers is invaluable.
