Experience has shown that one of the best ways to start blogging is to take it as a simple business. Every business must involve some financial commitment, so also should a blogging.
The assumption that you can make money online without much investment is slightly true but will require a lot of work, Effort and time before you can succeed.
You will get results fast and start getting returns on your investments, if you put in some funds at the initial start up. But if you want to do everything with no money at all then you will have to pay the price with your time and wait patiently for a longer time before you start to see significant and meaningful results.
While a person that invested little capital may start to get good returns in about six months of start, It may take up to 18 months or even years before a person who didn’t put in money starts to get reward for his hard work.
The first prerequisite for blogging business is to have strong determination, right mindset back up with great passion. Blogging is not a get rich quick business; it takes time to yield money that can give you affluence, But you van get Happiness from it all the time.
Therefore, you must be ready to work hard, be patient, and consistent with what you are doing. Once you establish your blogging business, it becomes a source of passive income forever.
Having known the most important thing required of you, the following are other
things you need to kick start you blogging business.
A computer and Regular/Reliable internet access. A website or Blog/ Domain name and Host.
That’s all, you don’t need more than that and once you get them ready. The cost of starting a simple Blogging Business
Blogging can be started with no capital, but It is highly recommend you make some financial commitments, as this will make you to remain focus and will not allow you to abandon the business should any challenge arises until the business becomes successful.
Also it will make your money making effort to be highly rewarded within a short time.
The start up cost for blogging business for those who want to invest some money is between $70 and $100.
start up capital will go into buying a domain name and a hosting account and designing a website and Initial Site Promotion.
Creating a Website or a Blog
You can create a website completely free without spending a dime by using blogger.com or wordpress.com but you will end up getting a sub domain name such as idearules.blogspot.com or ayojideonline.wordpress.com
which is highly unprofessional. This type of domain names is still in use by some online successful marketers but they have established themselves and many of them are regretting that action till today.
This is because sub domain name will give the visitors bad impression that the site owner is not serious about business and they may likely not visit the website, meaning the blogger is losing some money due to his unprofessional domain name.
If you plan to start blogging without much investment, I can always recommend you go for either blogger or wordpress, because you can buy a custom domain name through the site third party company (Godaddy) and have a domain that looks like Facebook.com or Google.com which is completely professional. If you have some money to invest, I will suggest you buy a domain name that shouldn’t cost you more than $15 per year and buy a hosting account of about $50 a year or less, Depending on the site Traffic or capacity.
There are so many hosting companies across the internet, For example, You can use Hostgator, which is cheap and has a great customer support, plus excellent service.
You can buy a hosting account that will cost around $4 dollars per month that can host a domain name . I suggest you go for the baby plan because you can host unlimited domain name on it and it may cost only about $10 per month.
After getting the both your domain name and hosting account, you can login to your hosting account and If you use WordPress.org, install WordPress software to create your website.
WordPress gives the opportunity of creating a website without the need to go through the stress of writing codes and Website Programming.
If you are a complete beginner, you may need to search for some materials on this blog or the internet or simply use Blogger or Wordpress. Have a great day. Stay Healthy and Safe.
