When starting your blog the number thing that you keep in mind that you don’t won’t to waste time on things that won’t bring good things to your blog. I don’t know much of anything about blogger and I am sure it’s a great place to write blog post but the best thing you can do is to have your own blog and hosting. With your own blog, it’s yours and you can change the way your blog looks, change the feel of your blog, and how much money your blog can make. You can promote your blog as you see fit and you can hire writers for your blog.
You want to own your blog from the start. Every blog post you write is yours. Not only you can have your own blog and write blog post, you can use your blog to promote your side business if you have one. To be honest I never read blog posts from blogger or any other place this is not a website that someone owns. When I go to google to look up anything, the blogger website does not come up. You must rely on people going to blogger to find your content. I believe you should have your own platform to write the content that you want and want you can own.
