Hello, Lori here from the US and just starting to think about starting a blog and wanting to get information on just about every aspect of setting one up - feel lost for the most part. Don't have a lot of money to spend on domain and hosting fees, but eventually would like to be able to make money from the blog. I do not have a niche - love too many things and enjoy variety, so would like to start out with no one particular niche - just ramble about things that I know about and are interested in and maybe one day something will come to mind for a niche. Open for suggestions or advice. Thanks!
Hello, Welcome to DP forum. You can have a good start by using blogger for the beginning. Create one on blogger(blogspot), you should be able to watch video and start your blogging experience. If you are not sure, you can ask any question here at DP. Let's go!
I was thinking Word Press, but maybe I cannot start one on there for free and see how it goes? I thought I could, but maybe not! I hate to spend money since my job was done away with and I was laid off the first part of December - will need it to pay for insurance and such! Can one make money on a free blog or not?

Welcome to the DP Community Lori!! There is a lot of content in this forum to help you build a successful blog online. And to answer one of your questions... Yes, you can earn money with a free blog and there are many people that are doing and have done it from scratch. You can use Blogger or Wordpress and well there are some other sites that offer you a free blog. Or you can pay for one that is already built for you and ready to make you money - all you have to do is blog and drive traffic but that is if you can afford it of course. I know how it is to have no money, live paycheck to paycheck and then get laid off. It sucks but you have to do what you gotta do to accomplish your goals and start with what you got at the moment. And you need to also realize that when you start from scratch with very little resources then that means you will have to do more work than others. But the hard work is only at the beginning and it only gets easier if you do everything right and are consistent with the work. Massive Action is what will get you the results with a blog. My best advice would be to learn more about marketing/promoting the content in your blog because you want to spend way more time promoting your blog than creating the content for it. Hope this makes sense lol Of course you still want to create very valuable content for your blog but the key is gon be in how many people read that content. The more the better and knowing this you should then focus A LOT more on the marketing of your content. Anyways... welcome to the forum again! .. and I hope you accomplish your goals online! I wish you the best success ever! talk to you soon Lori...

He hasn't responded because he's been banned. Probably best not to take advice from banned members. If they can't even clean their own house, they shouldn't be bringing a broom into yours right? Welcome aboard newbie, good luck and I hope you find what you need here.
