Setting up a Blog
Writing and publishing blogs on the Internet is free and has these benefits:
- Blogs can attract people outside your network. Your blogs can be searched and reported through Google. If your topic matches someone's interest on GoogleAlerts,
a link to your blog will be emailed to them.
- Blogs which include your URL web address can improve your website's search engine ranking.
Officially, you can monetize your blogs by allowing ads on them. However unless you spend a lot of time increasing your blog's followers,
it is unlikely to generate significant revenue for you.
The downside for most people is the time needed to write continual blogs.
