intelligence, a willingness to work hard, and a basic
grasp of blogging technology. However, very few
people manage to reap the profits they want from their
blog. Most people who attempt to make money with
their blogs do not succeed for two reasons. Often,
bloggers have unrealistic expectations of how fast their
readership will grow and how much money they will
make, and when these expectations are not met the
disappointment can crush the desire to continue
blogging. The other trap that many bloggers fall into
has to do with lack of planning. If you want to turn a
profit as a blogger, the key to success is to make a
realistic plan and stick with it.
To succeed at blogging for profit, the main thing that
you will need is a large readership. The higher your
traffic, the more advertisers will agree to pay you.
However, cultivating the regular visitors that you will
need in order to make a profit isn’t easy. As more and
more blogs appear each day, having a great idea or a
wonderful writing style is no longer enough to get
attention. You need to be able to market your blog
effectively.

Free blog sites are definitely the best way to go if you can’t afford to get your own self hosted blog but they have their own pros and cons.
There are several free blog sites on the internet today but the best free blog sites have to be Wordpress.com and Blogger.com.

Using a Blogger blog is very simple to do and all it takes is a quick sign up before your blog goes lives. Wordpress.com has similar features to Blogger but is much more in depth and is geared more towards the advanced bloggers. WordPress.com has most of the features of a fully fledged WordPress blog but with some limited features also. However, there is still much more control over these blogs then Blogger blogs in terms of how they look and feel.
