    I would start out with free blog site. If you sell through your blog get a free ftpserver.

    I would suggest that you go all out to buy your own domain and hosting and install wordpress on it.

    If you have to chose between these two, the answer would be blogger, the reason is you can add Google Adsense easily and also blogger is own by Google.

    I would use bidvertizer. It is not as expensive and you get quality hits

    I would only ad one a day for 5 or 6 days a week. This way you can keep writing but you still have enough content to carry you thru about three weeks worth

    I would wait til I got atleast 10 articles. Use your articles to submit to forums other than this one, advertise on free traffic sites. This way you should start receiving traffic.

    Use wordpress on your own hosting so that you have full control, install all plugins you want. You cannot do that on blogger
