Some people consider blogging as part of their hobbies however some other professional uses it to make money for living. The professional bloggers who are giving all their time to to this profession are making much higher than those who are working full time with reputed company. The blogging can be a good hobby for those who have interest in writing and willing to share the tips or tricks or their views on a particular topic. For example, if someone interest in gadgets or electronics items, he may share its review on different products or suggest a good product to the readers based on its personal experience. As I said while some of them take blogging merely as hobby, some other takes it one step ahead and make huge money out of it.
Today in this article, I will be guiding the readers of this blog to setup a free blog with Google's free blogging platform called Blogspot or Bloggers. This can a good start for both; those who just want to share different stuff by means of their blog OR those who want to make some money out of this passion. Whenever you start something you have no idea about, its better to start it at a small level and the blogspot platform offered by Google is the best choice. Before you open to buy a custom domain (top level domain) of your choice that can cost you $12-$15 for one year (which too isn't a big sum) and hosting that may cost depending upon the company you are buying hosting plan from. Some well known company such as Godaddy, HostGator, Bluehost can cost you anywhere between $8 to $15 a month depending upon the space, bandwidth requirements.
