I have set up several small blogs for niches that I am interested in and am amazed at how simple the process is. You can set up a free blog using either wordpress.com or blogger.com
Which of the two platforms that you select is pretty much a matter of personal preference. I happen to like blogger better because I like the wide range of templates and plugins that are available to make customization a snap. With blogger it is also very easy to add affiliate banners and links that immediately pulls in visitors and stir their interest in what every I am advertising.
After adding links and banners to your blog, the next step is to get some traffic. The great thing about blogging is that traffic is drawn to blogs like a moth to a flame. Search engines really seem to love blogs and will index your blogs very quickly. You can also get a lot of traffic coming to your blog by submitting it to blog directories.
