Google runs the free blog hosting site, blogspot, and crawls its pages often looking for updates. If you have your site hosted by blogspot, you’re almost guaranteed to be listed on google's blog search engine. This easy access to search engines can take some of the work out of promoting your blog, and can help you gain a following with a minimum of marketing effort.
If your blog attracts a large readership, you may want to consider moving your site. Many people feel that being hosted by a free blogging web site gives a blog an amateurish character that may be okay for a new member of the blogosphere, but isn’t appropriate for a high-profile blog.
If you have your own domain name your blog appears more professional. Finding a company that will host your domain is not difficult or expensive. Once you are successful with your blog, you’ll probably be able to sell enough advertising space to be able to afford a domain hosting. Nevertheless, it doesn’t make sense in general to invest in these extras until you have a substantial audience.
Starting your blog on a free blogging web site is a great way to build a following before you spend any money on your blog. When your blog becomes popular and you’re ready to move forward and get your own domain, your readers will follow you. In the meantime, take advantage of a free blogging platform to get started.
