Blogs are a prosperous generator of massive earnings and blogs are extremely simple to put together and keep up. Envision having a life where you're continuously paid to write about anything that you enjoy, anytime you desire, wherever you happen to be. The incredible ductility of blogging hands you an easy way to just sit down, decompress and take a holiday when you please.

Here I am dealing only with the potential high pay off of a blog and setting up you personal blog at absolutely free! Sound good? Let's keep rolling!

First, you need to know how to get a blog completely free. You have a couple of ways to start:

1. Use your Own domain to host a niche market blog or ...

2. Choose a free hosted blog. Many newbies don't have a domain, or website, so first consider the blogs that are hosted for free. The two best places for a free blog someone hosts for you are: at www.blogger.com or the newer (and better!) www.wordpress.com. Almost anyone who has been marketing online for even a short time has heard of Wordpress, a free blog engine incredibly expandable, and highly robust.

Google created Blogger.com, so of course this means it will be indexed faster and show up in Google more readily. Wordpress.com, is the newer option and I am no expert in testing the speed of getting indexed by search engines. I believe Wordpress is a better choice because it has many more advanced features including trackbacks and categories along with incrdible plugins avaialble free. You can also manage your sidebar links more efficiently (more about this later). With the automatic pinging and many Wordpress plug-ins, I am convinced their is no real difference you need to be concerned about. Pick the one you want. I use Wordpress.

How do you do it? Go to either Blogger.com (https://www.blogger.com/start) or Wordpress (http://wordpress.com/signup/) and sign up. What could be easier? Once you choose, spend a little time learning about the site by posting your first blog post about alomst anything you want (it really doesn't matter what). Maybe start with something about you and why you have this blog. By writing an posting your first blog post, you will get the feel for how the site features work, and how to use the templates. Just do it, you can't hurt anything.

Like everything, blogging has its own unique language, so here are a few simple terms you'll want to be familiar with:

1) Pinging - On the web there are aggregators or collectors of info about blogs being updated. Pinging is the action you or your blog takes to notify the aggregators you just completed an update. This is the single feature that makes possible the creation of targeted traffic almost immediately to your blog.

2) Trackback - This is link that is used you post in your blog something about someone else's blog post of a related item. It will cause your blog post to appear in their "trackback" section. This is unique to blogs by Wordpress.

3) Permalink - Permalink means permanent link, and is the URL (uniform resource locator) that can be used to send people directly to the post in your blog.

So, if you don't have a blog, just go to one of the sites above and get started. Play with the features included and get the feel of blogging. In the future, I will share with you some of the many ways to generate profit simply by consistently adding to your blog. Keep your visitors glued, and the keep coming back for more.
