    Query Google for blog tutorials, some professional bloggers are earning a lot by teaching 'how to blog' :) You'll get plenty of them around.

    If you want to learn how to do it yourself - the best way is by actually doing it.
    Why not start with a free wordpress.com account to get started?
    That will give you a good idea of what is involved with blogging.
    Then you can find some free or paid training to learn how to set up your own blog using free wordpress.org - which will require buying your own domain and hosting

    I would install wordpress in local server, so it is basically wordpress which is installed in your computer to play around and learn about wordpress locally before you decide to buy hosting and domain.

    Look for some tutorials in youtube or my blog :)

    Other alternatives is getting wordpress.com or blogger blogs, but in my opinion, those blogs are waste of time, or just useful to learn only, and not monetizing..

    Good luck.

    Self-tutorial is the solution to your problem. There are lots of blogs that offers basic information about blogging. Start from the simple platform like blogger or wordpress.com as your training platform then proceed more advance platform on WP if you have a relative knowledge about blogging.

    You can go with any free blogging platform like Blogger or Wordpress, then can show your wrist watches. Blogging is all about of blog something interesting and useful to your targeted visitors.

    Fist create an email account once you have created search for free blogging websites such as blogspot, this site uses a gmail or google mail account or blogger, wordpress is also a best option. Register for an account, design your blog according to your products, you can use the templates that blog sites offer, you can even customized it if you want to. Then write an article that shows what your products are, explain its uses, manufacturer, model (since it a wrist watch) etc. Post it and voila you already have a blog!
    Pictures or even snap shots are also a best option to be added on your post!
    Hope this help!

    First, create an account in blog sites, preferably in blogger. Then customize your page before posting unique and original blogs :)

    If you have no idea about blogging then start with blogger.as its easy to learn. you wont find WP easy in the beginning. It's not a big deal to learn all that.all you have to do is play with google search. and you have youtube videos to help you.

    Experiment more on blogger before you start.try making a test blog.add some contents.change the design etc..
    Watch this video on how to make a blog in blogger

    check other blogs that is somewhat similar to yours, but don't copy it.

    -Pablo Picasso

    Means.. just get the idea but improve it and own it
