There are a lot of free options such as using blogspot and blogger platforms, this is good if you want to do basic things, but you will be very limited as customisation is concerned.

It is not rocket science folks, getting a website or in particular a blog is very easy, you just need to sort out 3 main fundamentals and that is, domain name, hosting and installation of your blog. Just prior to doing all this you may want to do keyword research to find what niche best suits you and the domain name you want with the correct keywords you want to target, so therefore I suggest you use Market Samurai first. Then once youre ready you should get started!

3 Easy Steps To Create Your Website / Blog

1. Godaddy – Buy your domain name (normally between $8- $10)

2. Hosting – Get low cost web hosting if you are stating out, or if you want more advanced hosting try Hostgator (normally just $37 per year)

3. WordPress – (Install WordPress it is free) If you want after it is installed I suggest using a custom design theme using Woothemes

Once you have all these 3 things put in place you can easily make money with your site as long as you put in all the right modules and plugins and build a community to drive the traffic then you can start discussing a niche that interests you and target affiliate campaigns towards that niche.

Additionally when you get all the plugins set up with your wordpress blog, then I highly recommend you get a newsletter program set up and a subscribe form which I use through Aweber.

Furthermore you can add modules such as facebook fan groups and twitter to integrate to your blog to give your site a community feel, and get reader coming back and people commenting.

And lastly what you will need to do is blog post regularly to get the most benefit to your readers and by doing so will get good traffic flow, usually no more then 1 hour a day is sufficient.

Lastly have fun while your doing it and good luck!
