Hello, new and a few questions

[3plus3]

I saw another post with some links for other sites and how to's, I saved those to my favorites and will look at them in a few. I have a couple of questions that I hope someone will help me with.

1. How hard is blogging?

2. How do you find out what to blog about?

3. How do you make money blogging?

4. Can you make money blogging without paying any money?

5. Do you have to know html or java or any of that computer language in order to blog?

Blogging is easy:)

if you want it to be free just go to blogger.com and signup.
what to post on your blog is basically anything you want.
making money is easy also, just signup for google adsense.

I would suggest you read some more post on this forum and you should be able to figure this whole blogging world out.

1. blogging can be very easy, although becoming successful will require some work.

2. You should blog about what interests you. If you write about something you don't really enjoy you will not have much fun.

3. A variety of ways such as contextual ads (AdSense), text link ads, pay per post, reviews, RSS ads, etc.

4. Certainly. Most types of advertising requires no up-front money from you and you are ultimately paid on performance. The only money you may need to pay is for hosting if you choose to host your own site.

5. Not at all, although some very basic knowledge can be helpful if you want to make changes to your design on your own. Even if you don't, there are plenty of nice free themes/templates available to use.

1. It will be hard if you don't like writing...;)

2. I blog about my dream, actions and know how to achieve my dream. This is why I blog too

3. Hmm.... mainly from direct advertisers, text link ads, reviews, affiliate program, contextual ads..... more in future.

4. I think if you really want to make money from a blog, getting a domain name and hosting is a must for you.

5. Knowing them will definitely be your weapons!

Sometimes the hardest part is just to get going. Just make that commitment and take it from there!

3plus3, also remember this, if you have the passion to start blogging, don't let it die. No matter what you face in future, just keep it going on and on. :)
