How To Create Your Own Free Blog

5 comments

 What is Blogging?
According to Blogger.com :
"A blog is a personal diary. A daily pulpit. A collaborative space. A political soapbox. A breaking-news outlet. A collection of links. Your own private thoughts. Memos to the world."

Blogging in its simplest term is like :
An online journal but much, much more powerful. Blogs (short for Web log) is a place where surfers can get up to the minute information on a topic or voyeur into someone's life. Some blogs are nothing more than a daily glimpse into someone's life, while others are so sophisticated, it's hard to tell them apart from an online news service.

Why Blog?
Blogs, the homepages of the 21st Century, are free and easy to set up and use. They are popular with people who want to share thoughts online. They allow for the instant publication of ideas and for interactive conversations, through comments, with friends or strangers.


Blog users are as varied as the types of blogs available. The so called personal blogger write a blog to express what he feels about himself, or about a certain subject matter that is of interest to him. Some blogs are committed to a precise topic, like computer hardware or politics. These are frequently read like magazines. While some others write Blogs to make Money!

Have a look around!
Its always a good idea to explore some blogs before you create your own. By the way, you are already inside one! [http://howtomakemoneyonlineinternetmarketing.blogspot.com]
Take a look at the layout, The sidebar, How the  Ads are placed,Previous posts, other links etc etc. Given below are links to some blogs by others which i had selected randomly. Take time to observe those and get a feel of blogging and COME BACK!

OK...Thats enough of theory and observation...Lets get to topic selection.

1. Topic Selection
You can start a blog on anything under the Sun - from your daily activities to reviews about products, to discussion of ideas, to news about a person, to stories, photos, jokes and poetry. But, If you want to make money out of your blog, your topic must be useful to others. Only then they will come to your blog site and read your blogs.

Deciding on the topic and the content is the most difficult part of the blogging venture. Some of the key factors in deciding the topic are:
(1) You know the topic
(2) You like the topic
(3) There is an audience for the topic
(4) The topic has a business value
(5) You can supply new content or add value to existing content
(6) Your topic is not a dead end topic; you can keep the content fresh
(7) You can build a community with the topic

If you are still unsure about what topic to choose, I recommend you go to the below blogsite which contains a long list of topics(ideas) to get you started.
