It takes a couple of minutes to start and costs nothing. — just join a blogging site, such as Blogspot or WordPress, and start writing. However, bloggers are flooding the virtual world and if you want to stand out and get noticed by readers and advertisers, you will need to provide information or advice that no one else can, or provide it in a way that is better than others. You can join a writers’ community, where people freely dispense tips on improving writing or increasing readership.
Once you explore and decide the topic and target audience and you get serious, it may be better to have your own website and domain name. This gives you a specific identity, and if you submit your blog’s to search engine optimization, it will start getting impressions and click-throughs on organic search on Google. The charges for a domain name usually range from INR 300-1,000 a year. The main source of income for most bloggers is Google AdSense, which places contextual ads on Websites.
