Here are a few points toward bear in mind as you set up your online blogging business:
1. There’s usually varying views on what makes the best blog platform, the two top contenders are WordPress.com and Blogger.com. Most online marketers I know recommend WordPress. It doesn’t matter too much which one you choose, just find the software that you feel the best using. 2. Stay away from using the free WordPress or Blogger services. I know when you are only starting out you might not have plenty of money, but this is not the place you want to cut corners. If you have a rewarding site that is getting a large amount of traffic and the company updates it’s TOS and you’re no longer compliant, your blog will be gone.
