How much do I need to start up a blog?

[FreshKaz11]

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?

I don't think you need money to startup a blog, once you have your software to use for the startup on your PC you go ahead and create your website. But where money is involved in getting traffic to your website I guess.

The amount you might be needing to design a blog will all depend on your set skills when it comes to designing a blog. If you are a good designer yourself, them no much money will need to be spent in designing one

You don't need money if you choose to blog on blogspot platform. You can even run adsense and infolink ads on your blogspot blog. If you want a custom domain, you need to spend money though

 

[Sheyemanu]

Well, in reply to your question above concerning what amount you need to start up a blog, I would like to let you know first of all thay i am not a blogger now and never have been but reading up people's comments i think you can start with leas than $50

 

[Kunkun]

Well from the answers people have given it seems starting a blog isn't that expensive if one knows the right places to go to, minimal capital for lots of profit in the future it seems

To be serious I haven't thought of starting a blog a blog but o believe there should not be any fixed amount that will be required to start a blogging account.

If you start on wordpress, you don' need any money. Bu you cannot earn from the free version of wordpress, if you start on blogspot, you don't need money but you can run ads on blogspots

 

[Kane]

That's very true, free wordpress does not allow you to run ads, if you run ads, they will simply delete your blog. Blogspot is better because you can use infolinks and adsense

Starting up a blog is actually one of the few businesses that requires little to no capital to startup and it can be done anywhere. Tho it requires some skills which i be can be obtained. There are so many plathforms one can use in creating a site for free

If you are afraid of starting the blog you want to use for your writing gig because of cost, you start a free blog for now till you can secure the funds easily from the profits made on your free blog to starting a more professional one

Blogs aren't that difficult to set up as they do not require complex codings and java, css+ like websites but it should cost about $80-$100 to get a good blog site with lasting domain

Wow! this amount that you quoted for the price of a blog is actually quite achievable and I will soon start up my own blog but I am using a free blog for now and I hope to start my block soon.

I think I will pick the option of contacting the programming that will be able to design my website in a professional and timely manner and if you know of any good programmer, please, recommend him for me.

That is a good choice because changed on already builder website that are bought from web site builders are limited to changed since some programming would already be instilled in the website

Blogging doesn't need any special experience, nor learning code. You can design a website using wordpress, buying domain and hosting then start posting contents afterward.

 

[Setho]

Since a blog is a place where you go to read articles, you would not have to spend much. You will just need to spend money on the site, hosting and maybe promoting it

 

[Sotherefore]

Starting a blog is not expensive as you can start it with as low as $100,if you are going to be the writer then it will be easier but if you're not going to be the writer then you need to hire a writer to do everything for you, 100 to 200 dollars will be enough.

 

[Senator]

Starting up a blog of your own is one huge step to becoming a good and ready blogger. If you are not that boxed up in cash yet, you can start up a free blog for the sake of getting the little experience about blogging first before going all out for full blog

 

[Kane]

You can earn from blogging without spending dime. Join sites like hubpages, vocal, read cash etc. However, to ern from this sites, you need to be very active there.
