How to Set Up a Blog
Before attempting to make money online it's necessary to have a website or blog which people will find useful and informative. If it's not updated regularly your visitors will not return and will look elsewhere.
There are several different blogging platforms from which you can choose, some free, others which require monthly or yearly payments. These include Blogger, Wordpress, Typepad and Moveable Type.
What you want to do with your blog is entirely up to you but ask around or do online searches to find out which platform offers the services you'll require, not just for the present but in the future too. One way to find out is to search for other users' critiques of the platforms they use.
