Anytime someone asks me where they should begin on the Internet, I always tell them to start with Blogger. Blogger is easy to use and you can always find help by clicking on the help button at the top right of the page.
When someone is new to the online world and you are trying to explain to them what it is you do to earn a living, they have no clue as to what you are talking about. Or, someone who has an offline business and they want to start marketing their business online but have no clue where to begin, I send them here. After all, Blogger Rules!
In the search engines you will find many blogs that were created here so, if you want your business found, start blogging!
There are quite a few templates to choose from so I'm sure you will find something that you like. And you can change templates if you decide you don't like the one you chose. They added some more recently and they are really quite nice.
I also want to mention that if you do create a blog, you should sign up with Google Adsense and Amazon. Not only can you earn money from them, it also adds content to your site.
Have a great day!
