Blogging is increasingly becoming popular on internet today. Anybody can start blogging by sharing their opinions, thoughts and knowledge on internet just by publishing articles in a blog. A blogger need not know HTML or other scripting languages to start a blog. A beginner blogger can go for either free or paid blogging platforms. But, if you does not want to spend money initially then go for a free blogging platform.

There are many free blogging providers but the most popular free blogging providers are Blogger.com, WordPress.com, and LiveJournal.com. All these sites have pre-made templates suitable for various common niche topics, and push-button publishing features.

Today there are blogs on varied topics like health blogs, travel blogs, food blogs, technology blogs, money making blogs, and many more. There are many blogs using free blogging platforms and making decent money every month and every day.

One may start blogging as an internet tool to make money online but I feel before starting a blog one should not keep the money factor in  mind but just think about the niche topic he or she can think and write. If you have ideas and love to write then blog is the right thing for you. If your ideas and content on the blog are liked by your blog visitors then nobody can stop you from making money from your blog.

Blog content is like king, blog layout is like a box full of treasure and blog  promotion is like a good movie and all these three are the route to success for blogs.

There may be a thousand blogs on a topic but if your blog has unique blog content and useful information then your blog posts may appear on the first page of Google search engine soon after launching your blog.

Below I am mentioning some of the popular blogs that have achieved good page rank and are hosted on free blogger platforms.

2. http://lorelle.wordpress.com Pagerank = 6

So choose a topic that you are familiar with and can write about it. Next, go for a good blogging platform you feel comfortable. Then just write and press the publish button and you will enter the world of blogosphere with your new blog.
