How do I start?

Hello,

I want to make a blog but how do I start? Should I register with a site like blogger.com or is it better to get your own domain and host it?

Thanks

 

as starter i guess you should try blogger its free.. and easy to set-up..

 

If your goal is to ever monetize your blog at some point, I would go with your own host. Find a good one with a one click install like Bluehost.com or Dreamhost.com.

 

You mean I sould install something like wordpress?

 

Yeah, install WordPress on a domain.

If you're interested, I can give you cheap hosting so you don't need to spend a lot to start up. Through a reputable site

 

Wordpress all the way. For a newbie, I will highly recommend you to read how to use wordperss as CMS. It will surely help you. Also install some plugins to make your wordpress more secure. I had covered more than 40 plugins here which will you will find highly useful. If you still need help than feel free to ask me here or pm me.

Regards

blog now, once up, start monetizing it.

 

You can make money from blogs on blogger and it's free to use. own domain also has its benefits though.

 

Can I make more from adsense if I use my own domain or does this make no difference?

 

If you use a standard blogger blog, it is likely you will not keep your visitors coming back unless your content is really, really good.

Besides, having a domain name shows your visitors that you are serious, and as it's relatively cheap you should take a small gamble

 

ok, thanks for your answer
I already have a few domain names in mind.

 

If you need more help, send me a PM

 

Hi Milenko,

If you have your own domain name, your websites will look more professional compared to blogger.com or wordpress.com.

And there are a lot of advantages if you are using your own hosting+domain to host your blog. Your website will easily be rank in the search engine (depending on what niche of your blog).

If you are serious to become a blogger, start with you own domain & hosting.

Good luck
