A blog is an information journal, where you can post and update information on a regular basis. Unlike regular websites, blogs can be updated hourly, daily or weekly for better performance and comments of readers is also allowed making it more interesting. Getting a killer blog is not as difficult as you may think, you just have to avoid common mistakes and never be in a hurry to set up a blog. Before setting up a blog make sure you carry out a thorough research on a particular niche of your choice. To find a hot niche or topic visit sites like ClickBank, Free IQ and Amazon, as well as affiliate and article directories.
To get a hot niche just check websites like More Niche and 5 star affiliate program. As a starter, never start with a make money niche; because it is a very competitive niche and thousands of experts with millions of web portals are positioned there already. If you start with such a niche you are sure to be beaten hands down even before you start.

CREATING YOUR BLOG
There are two types of blogs; paid and free blogs. Emphasis is going to be laid on opening a free blogger account in this section.
Have it in mind that the free blogs are almost dead and they will not put you in view as a serious blogger. But you can still try them out and master certain elements in it as they are similar with paid blogs to some extent. Blogger, WordPress and 21Publish offer a free blog platform for those who want to try their hands on blogging.
To be an authority in blogging; register your own domain and host your site; then install WordPress via Fantasico file and then you have your own personalised blog. Having a blog with your own personal domain name is the best thing that can happen to a serious blogger.
