[Ojonuyo]

Starting up a personal blog is a great step towards the field of writing and making money from your site. Hence, I think it requires huge amount of money to set up. Please clarify my doubt, how much do I need to start?

you can start it for free, you pay nothing to use blogger, as it's a free google service, once you feel that you're getting professional, you can start with buying a paid domain and theme

Starting a blog does not really required a huge sum of money if you are living in the United States I think $50 is able to deliver you a quality blog to start your own online business but unfortunately having a blog is not the real issue , the real issue is that are you passionate about writing because as a blogger you must have passion for writing if not you will not be able to make it if you are blogging, so search within you if that is your natural talent

I'm talking about the google's blogger, just write the name on google and it will take you there, you can start your blog with stock templates for literally free without paying anything, you can upgrade the domain later to get rid from the blogspot in the name later

Starting a blog is not that expensive. You only have to know the skills and how to set up hour platform. You can start a blog with about $150 and you will be just fine.

Well, it depends on what you want. Basically, you can use free blog hosting sites which can get you so far or custom made ones which might require you to be able to do some coding or hire someone to do it for you and renting a server to host the site on and so on it really depends on what you want and need.

Starting off a blog doesn't require large amount of money like some other online business like mini importation. If you really want to set up a blog you only need $9 for domain name and $10 for hosting. With $19 you can buy your blog name and hosting, the rest is to pay a website designer to help you Design the website and that shouldn't be more than $50 if you have good negotiation skill

That's true , these are the basic things needed to start a blog so on a budget of $100 he should be able to start though if he wants to grow the blog much faster he can hire writers for payment so the content can easily grow.

I always wanted to start a blog but I don't have passion for writing and I need someone who can help

I also created a blog thread here. And in the end, in my conclusion, you may or may not pay when you start, you must be clear to what audience the blog is directed, what is the main topic in which you are going to delve into and you must have sufficient knowledge. . Because if they ask questions. You must have the answers and interact with the audience.

You don't need to break a bank before you start your own blog. All is need are as follows
1. A domain name which cost about $10 you register your domain name at reputable registrar like GoDaddy, Namecheap, Dynadot etc
2. A hosting account of about 1 gig and this cost about $2 per month, you can pay quarterly, or yearly for this.
3. An attractive theme, you can get a fancy one at themeforest for about $20, though you can make use of the free theme on WordPress.

Creating a blog that is traffic packed and with complete features will cost you some money. You need to spend some money to design your blogsite to match with the needed features that will make it look scintillating. When you calculate how much you will be spending for your domain acquisition, then getting a site host, adding and buying plugins also, then upgrading membership of your blog site or any other website will coat you money too. You should estimate $300-400 to create your blog up to standard.

You can go for a free domain and hosting at first. There are many platforms that provide the same. e.g: wordpress.com, blogger.com, profreehost.If you are serious about blogging then I would suggest you to do some investment and go for a custom domain and hosting and use Wordpress as it is easier to manage your blog in Wordpress (I personally use siteground hosting)
If youou are using Wordpress then there are plenty of SEO friendly themes available (I prefer using ASTRA, GENERATEPRESS & OCEAN WP).

Started a blog sometime last year,got a good discount for the hosting (about 70% off) used namecheap for the domain name(about $10) total amount spent for everything was about $40,convert that to whatever currency you use and you've got your price point.

 

[Hasan Raza]

Blog can be started with minimal or without any investment because google is giving this service in free.
Most important thing is to bring your blog in professional manner. Once it becomes useful for other then you must buy a domain and that is also not costly specially in European countries then you can earn money online easily.
