Blogging basically cost you no money to start, but only requires impressive articles and loyal readers to succeed.

Audience
What are you going to blog about, and for what audience? Write about something that most people will understand and can relate to. Some people chose to blog about their personal lives, others about their jobs or hobbies, fashions, celebrities.

Whatever you chose to blog about make sure it is something that you are really passionate about. You do not want to get bored, as you will be writing articles on a daily or weekly basis.

Write your article around 400- 500 words, as longer post tend to make someone distracted.

Theme and design
Now you known what you want to blog about, therefore you need a website to host your blog. You could use Wordpress, Blogger, or other free site that hosts your blog for you. Most of these website allow you to set up your own blog under your own domain name, this is highly recommended. A domain name can cost $10 per year (http://www.godaddy.com/, http://www.1and1.com/)
