    What do you think, making free blogs (blogspot or wordpress) is a better way?

    or we should go for paid blogging.

    Free Blog = Beginner blogger.

    Paid Blog = Intermediate / Advanced blogger.

    Which are you?

    If you mean can you make money from free blogs then yes you can.
    There are some very, very good free blogs that pull in thousands of uniques every day. I myself have BlogSpot blogs that make me hundreds of dollars each month.
    But if you want absolute control over your content and want to exude an air of professionalism then paid is the way to go.

    Free Blogs have worth in the sense that it is often easier to get higher PR in wordpress.com or blogspot. You can always sell the blog roll links from these free blogs. These can be quite profitable

    Its a decent way to start, after a while i recommend going for self hosted, but free hosted blogs is cool still.

    As pipes says it can be a decent way to start. But I will advice to go for self hosted Wp straigt away. Its much better.

    There are so many themes and plugins for Wp all over the net. You can also look at this post on my new WP blog for more help.

    :)Best Blogging Platform:)

    Hope that helps

    Regards:)

    I agree with that absolutely, if you can, then go for self hosted wordpress from the start, for me it was definately a case of if i knew then what i know now.

    The excellent thing is that hosting can be purchased very cheaply too.
