You need to be active on social Media, tv news programmes. Follow people you look forward to post about and make sure you always deliver interesting and true content. Mind you, stealing articles from fellow bloggers makes your blog less unique. So you can decide to make your content more original by blogging about things that are readily available. It might be fashion, or essays. Just be sure it's interesting. You need plenty time for this work. As a starter, you're sure Not to earn much so you also need to be a patient person. Try to deliver correct sentences so as to easily subscribe for google adsense. To begin. Right away, go onto blogger.com or to create an admin accont. Hope I'm making some sense. Lest I Forget, be sure to have a good design concept on your mind to attract more readers.[color=#000099][/color]

Hello pls I need great and intelligent bloggers to help me out.

I want to enter into this internet world proper by creating a blog of my own.

I don't really know what it costs or the processes needed, who I will go and meet or anything about it.

I will just like you to explain the necessary things I will need to open this blog, what blogging is all about itself, the materials that I must have and the range of the capital, do I have to go to some kind of training?

Am still a young boy(teenager infact) and I know if I start this and before I get into that adult age well enough I should be making cool cash from it.

And also what is the range of years I will haav to put into before it becomes popular.


Your advice is well appreciated. Thanx

To start a blog, your underatanding of the Niche you want to blog about is most important. Start with a good research, then create the platform n other necessary materials you will be needing from time to time. At this stage you will go on to package your blog for the ultimate part where you can start earning as much as you want. Then Releasing is your last stage. This stage gives you the needed traffic you want to drive to enable you to start making money even in your very first month of blogging. However, you must develop a passion for that niche such that you can blog easily. There materials you can get from a PLR platform in case you want to blog about a Niche you love but you lack knowledge about. Good luck

For the newbies, I think the best blogging platform you can use is .
*Its 100% free
*It doesn't required much web development and programming knowledge.
and so on.
you can all view my blog, it's 100% powered by blogger, but I changed the outlook to what suits me.
and for those asking for how to blog with mobile phones, I used bloggerdroid, search and download it free from Google play.

you can mail me for any simple help because I am still learning the market. lol.

you can freely chat with me on http://www.nairainsider.com

It depends if you don't want to pay for free hosting then you'll have to use or
blogger.com.

Since you already have a domain all you have to do is link it to your blog using Cnames.

For Blogger, simply go to settings and add third party URL. enter your domain and you'll see your blog's cnames. Then edit it via your domain register dns manager.

okay,
*first of all, I'm a blogger addict, lol, I hardly pays attention to anything that would cost me money when I can it free. (although, not all free packages are worth it). as a newbie, I will advise u to pick blogger because of no cost of installation( or very very minimal) but on WordPress, you will need hosting, and if you are not conversant about it, u will have to pay web designers bucks to do that. blogger doesn't requires hosting but WordPress does. the lowest WP designer I hv come across charges 8k +.

*You can also easily use your own domain which u already have on blogger without much ado, I just verified my during d weekend, it takes less than 24 fr everything to be fully up.

I hope my reply satisfy ur questions. thank you.

Your advice is well appreciated. Thanx

Nicolars,

Before you even think of starting a blog, I would highly suggest you first think about what you want to discuss, show, and present on it. Your blog has to have a useful purpose for others. Successful blog owners make a TON of money. LifeHacker, Mashable, and The Huffington Post all started with a goal and an idea that was useful to others. All 3 of them make nearly $1,000,000 per year or more right now. They make their income through advertising, affiliate products / services, advertorials, reviews, (probably paid back-links, though don't quote me on that), and their own product.

I'll try to give you a practical list of things to consider and do:

1. Develop a useful or entertaining concept

2. Make lots of friends and tell people about your blog

3. MAKE SURE you have a way where your readers can register to your blog (you'll need a programmer for this 90% of the time, or you'll have to buy a script - I'll be talking about this more in-depth here: http://www.epicglobalweb.com soon)

4. Make your content share-ready for social networks (when you post on Facebook, for instance, post pictures and not just text - pictures are understood by the human brain 60,000 times faster than words)

5. Get good hosting - you can start yourself off with a hostgator account for 8-10 dollars per month (cheaper by the year). Keep in mind you'll eventually have to scale larger, especially if you plan on your database to handle profile pictures and other people posting video content.

6. Become a platform, meaning, solve problems for people and for businesses. An easy way to approach this is to make do-follow links in your website so that marketers from other businesses will want to contribute to your site in hopes of a decent back-link. This is basically social book-marking. Then your readers will benefit by useful content being available to them (so long as you moderate spam properly).

There are plenty of places you can go from here to gain traffic and earn money. You'll need to plan for security risks and people trying to hack your site for extortion, etc, but a good programmer and some solid planning can solve this for you.

Goodnuel:

Lastly, can a BlackBerry Z10 function well??
I am not very sure of that, but I use Xperia, and I used three different browsers. I also use my laptop.

for all android users, you can install bloggerdroid, its very efficient, and also, blogaway.

so, Goodnuel, I will advise u to get hands on a laptop, or use powerful browsers like chrome or Firefox, but their data consumption rate is very high.

but, android can be more simplified for blogging to me.

30% of my web contents were uploaded through bloggerdroid and its error free!

I am sorry if u find errors in my txts ryt nw, I am already on bed with one eye close! shut till tmrw.
happy blogging.
