Blogging Basics # 1 - What is your blog’s purpose?

So you’ve finally decided to start your own blog? That’s great. But before you actually start that blog, you have to determine what you want to do with that blog.

What are your plans for it? What is your blogs purpose?

I am asking you that question because the next step discussed in this series would be deciding whether to spend money on getting your own domain and hosting, or merely getting a free blog. You might just be interested in making an online journal to chronicle daily events in your life or you might want to create a blog to inform people about controversial issues and such. You might also be interested in creating a blog for monetization. Take the time to determine your plans (both present and future) for the blog you want to create. Then you can easily determine whether you would want to spend money on making your blog or not.
