How to set up your own blog?

#1
Decide what the focus of your blog will be. If you have a special interest you love to spend time doing, this could be the focus of your blog. I blog about news, health and entertainment, but most people have a more specific focus, which optimizes earning potential if you're interested in making money on your blog.

#Step 2
Establish a blog by using Google "Blogger,http://www.blogger.com/. It's best to acquire a unique url as well so that your web address is a standalone presence. You can visit my blog at http://mamalado.blogspot.com/ to see what I mean. I use blogger, but I have a unique url which is my http://mamalado.blogspot.com/ address.

#Step 3
Once your blog address on the web is established, you're ready to post your first blog entry. Use a light, humorous, conversational tone; readers love a laid-back style and they love to laugh! Not funny? Add a 'joke of the week' or 'funny link of the week' to entertain your readers, or have them submit funny stories about your topic.

#Step 4
Write at least once weekly. Blog posts should range in word count from a few hundred words to NO MORE than 1000 words, which is actually pretty long for a blog post. Readers like short, interesting posts.

#Step 5
Spread the word! Send an invitation email to your friends and family and ask them to check out your new blog! Also, visit websites that are similar in nature to your topic and post a comment asking people to visit your blog. Use social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter or Myspace to promote your blog posts.

#Step 6
Make money! There are many ways to make money blogging- just Google those three words and you'll get a ton of results. One of the easiest ways to make money is to install Google Adsense, which is the little column of ads you see on the side of the screen while you're on a website. You'll need an account with Google to install this, but it's easy to use.
