can be problems with having a hosted blog, as you the blogger may not have a
lot of control over the site. Terms
and conditions may make it impossible for you to run your own advertising. A

overnight, your blog could be gone! There
are horror stories all over the net about this happening to other people. With
a hosted blog there is also the problem that should you decide at a later date
to move your blog, you may not have access to all the work you have created and
may have to start from the beginning again, although wordpress.com does now
allow you to download an xml file so you can replicate your blog on your own
hosting space.
Should
you choose to use a hosted blog service, I’ll remind you again, do take the
time to read their rules and ensure that you comply with them otherwise you are
in danger of waking up one morning and finding that you no longer have a blog
and if you were trying to earn money with your blog, it will be even worse
because if the blog is gone, so is your source of income.

somewhere to create a site. (i.e. hosting)

your own blog is the quickest and easiest way of getting your own site
online. When you have your own blog
installed on your own hosting account, you can do whatever you want, as long as
you don’t break the law ;-) nowadays with the automatic installers provided by
most hosting companies, you won’t even need a programmer to install a basic
blog for you.

free to promote whatever you would like. There are no restrictions you have the
right to decide how to monetize your blog. You will of course need some capital

hosting for it.

simple as that. Don’t be tempted to go for a subject you know nothing about or
you will soon be found out.

you what you should be blogging about. You decide and just get blogging, you
could just simply have a personal blog, a funny blog, a political blog, a
review blog, and there are some really weird blogs out there.
