Hey guys............i've heard alot about this blogging thing but i don't how to start mine....is it really fun posting blogs? i'm just wondering how to have my own....anybody can help how?
The easiest way is to get an account with http://www.blogspot.com or http://www.wordpress.com you can learn as you go along.....
Simply sign up with a free hosting and install wordpress via fantastico! And you are done. Lol. Cheers. But you must know your topic, and choose it knowing what makes you, you.
Only start blogging if you know what you are blogging about. You can blog about anything. Once you know what you want to blog about, get a blog, either from a free blog provider or your own hosting, and then start posting! Its fun to share your knowledge with others.
Blogging can be anything you want it to be. It can be your way of keeping in touch with friends and family, practicing your writing skills, putting up your rants, sharing knowledge in a specific niche, a personal diary, or a money-spinning machine. Figure out which direction you want to head. If money spinning is your deal, then choose a niche you like and know something about, get yourself a free blog from blogger.com, and try google adsense/ other advertisers once you have built up some traffic.
It depends on you I guess, if your not type of person who like to write then maybe blogging is not for you. Just like damyantig mentioned, you can start by your interest, talent, special skill that you have and that's your niche.
If you want to start off trying blogging and see if you can get paid for it, then I would recommend signing up for Yuwie. Although it would take you literally 59 million views before you get a lousy $10,000 for it. It's very easy to accumulate friends from Yuwie. You can set up your profile how you like. You can blog on any subject, practically, and people will comment it and want to add you as their friend or vice versa. But the good news is you accumulate friends which can be potential referrals in other social networks or programs you might be interested in. Keep in mind, they'll want to offer you every money-making opportunity known to man, but it's tit for tat. You have quality content, people like to read you, they are more likely to want to sign up as your friend. You can lead them to the places you want to go.
Blogging is the best way to express what you want and fun about. So you better start your blog now! Go to the websites as wisdomtool says...
blogging is a blast - i love it - but i love to write too. i think you really have to enjoy writing and find something that interests you. If you are consistent and keep plugging away at it everyday your readers will come and you can make some money from advertising on it. you should try it. its alot of fun. mine is on blogger which is a good blog host to start with.
I can't really make a full judgment since I'm new to the system of blogging. But so far, I find it quite enjoyable. Writing is informal and my creativity flourishes. Definitely, this is my thing. You can try it out by posting in free blog hosting sites like Blogger and Wordpress as indicated by my fellow responders here. Wish you the best of luck!^^
I have recently written a article on How to Blog which can help you in getting a idea on how to start, what to do and where to go. If you dont want to invest any money in buying domain/hosting go for OneBP Free Blog Service
I too also had a blog about how to start blogging http://anticubicle.net/blogging/paid-to-blog-pt1/ You should not go into blogging as a this is a quick way to get money and a half intrest in the subject. Thats what I did with my first blog and I now i'm over it. Do it just for fun and the money may or may not come later but the money part should be on the back burner EDIT: Oh and even the blogger allows you to make money by allowing ads and everything. I feel a free wordpress blog is easier to rank and easier to get traffic to.
