New how to start a blog report

Hi Folks,

Because I’ve heard from many people they still do not have a blog up and running, I decided to make another report.

The first report was purely mechanical but it seems like folks need some other types of information before getting to the mechanics.  Such as;

1. Should I use a free platform like http://www.blogger.com or http://www.wordpress.com ?

2. Every time I sit and try to get into starting a blog I get over whelmed by all the choices, where or how should I just start?

3. What are the steps I need to take before actually building a blog of my own?

What are your thoughts? I could really use your opinions.

Please post your comments below and thank you very much in advance.

Setting up your first blog warnings

I’m writing this because I’ve seen so many new blogs that are filled with ads and zero value.

People contact me often to look at their blogs and I’m shocked to see what they’ve built.

It’s as if they’ve drank the Internet Marketing cool-aid labeled “start a blog, fill it with ads and sit on the beach while millions roll in”.
