If we must say, you have chosen a very lucrative niche.

Diving not from your major question, Wordpress is your best bet. Talking of the flexibility and features, coupled with your niche, you just shouldn't avoid it (wordpress).

Now, how to start a blog is pretty simple.

DESIGN YOUR BLOG
If you don't know or you are not ready to learn your way around wordpress, though simple, you can hire a designer to get you blog done for you at a considerable fee.

CHOOSE A NICHE - Which You Already Did
The most successful auto industry blogs have a specific angle. You can choose to blog about anything and everything related to cars, but this can make it hard to draw in a loyal audience or compete with larger car blogs like motoring.com.au or cars.com. If you choose a certain brand of cars to write about, electric cars, or classic cars instead, you can refine your focus and make sure that your content is truly unique. This will make it easier to build your audience and eventually start making money using targeted advertising.

WRITE WITH YOUR READERS IN MIND
At the heart of any money-making blog is quality content. When it comes to car blogs, quality content could include photographs, video, news, or reviews. Just be sure that you have a definite audience in mind and tailor your content to meet what you think they will be interested in. If you’re not sure where to start, you can derive inspiration from existing reviews. Your audience may be friends and family, or it could be fellow classic car enthusiasts.

GET ORGANIZED
Many bloggers enter into the game with loads of enthusiasm, spending money on a domain and filling it with top-notch content for the first month or two. It’s common for enthusiasm to wane after this point, however, and your blog may languish without any new content for weeks or months at a time. This will cause you to lose readers and any potential for income. As a result, you’ll want to define your goals and set a schedule. If you don’t have a great deal of spare time, commit to something as simple as writing one new car review per week. Regular posting helps boost your readership and search engine rankings.

SIGN UP FOR RELATED ADVERTISING
One of the easiest ways to make money as a car blogger is to place car-related ads on your site. You can do this by signing up with Google Adsense, Amazon, or other retailers. When a reader of yours clicks on their advertisement, you get reimbursed. This won’t make you rich overnight, but it will add up over time as you build your readership.

SELL PRODUCTS
Another way to make money off of your car blog is to start selling products that suit your niche industry. If you write a blog about Porsches, for example, you could have an online ecommerce shop which sells Porsche accessories on the side. Many blogging platforms, Wordpress in this case includes themes that make it easy to set up an online shopping cart system on your main website.

By taking the time to blog about car niche, which I presume you’re passionate about, you could end up with a tidy sum left over each year. Staying true to your interests and creating high quality content for your readers will ensure that the experience is rewarding at the same time.

Going straight to the point.

WordPress is the answer.


WordPress offers this ability out of the box many others don't.

With WordPress you own your content. You have complete control over the content.

With other platforms like blogger (owned by Google) or Tumblr (owned by Yahoo) you're only renting space.

As unlikely as it sounds, if either of those companies decide to shut down those platforms you'll lose everything you've built.

It's like building your house on rented ground. If the landlord decides to pull up stakes or sell the ground to someone else, you will lose your house or pay way more in rent for the same piece of land.

With wordpress, you own it to all to yourself and can tweak as you wish.

Coupled with a whole loads of themes availabe to choose from.

Wordpress is the way.
I don't have money for wordpress now but want to start with blogger then I will migrate to wordpress.org, and also I have passion for cars, so I decided to start a car blog in nigeria since there is no consistent blog in that niche, but am confused if it will have pageview, my targeted audience are nigerians,american,australian etc. Help me out with every dime of ur ideal! God Bless You!

Only possible if you are a well known car blogger, when I say well known, I mean very very well known.

Concerning where to get news, stay close to forums and other blogs and most importantly, stay close to car brands' websites.

Hello, the idea is pretty straight. If you do not want the video to consume your disk space then you might need to introduce a third party, which in this case are Youtube, Vimeo or any other video serving platform.

Nothing is considered impossible, but without quality content, applying for google adsense is more like throwing something against a wall and watching it come back at you. Best practice, work on your content and make sure they are of high quality before you consider adsense application. Hope this helps.

Hello,

As a tech blogger, you are expected to blog majorly on tech products, reviews and news. To get news without copying from other blogs, stay close to social media pages of tech companies and watch their updates, then derive news from there. This might be stressful but at least it's a step towards uniqueness and independence. If they have websites, you can also visit their websites occasionally. That's how big tech companies get their publications.

Hello,

Judging from your sentence, you made mention of "blog". So I would assume you are most probably using either wordpress or blogger platform.

Therefore, the information below will cover both sides.

For Wordpress

- 95% of wordpress themes these days are mobile responsive automatically, so you wont need to bother. Meanwhile if you are not satisfied with the display, you can make use of wptouch, it's a wordpress plugin that gives your website a totally new responsive look on mobile devices.

For Blogger

- Option #1: Enable default mobile template

Do you know there are already 8 build in mobiles templates available on blogger platform? I’m sure many of you haven’t seen it yet. Simply activating one of them will do the trick.

By activating any of them, your site will automatically render the mobile theme for the mobile queries. Actually, when a phone user will surf the site, it will redirect to the stringed url like http://yourdomain.com/?m=1. In fact, you can test a mobile site on the desktop just defining the string ?m=1 in the urls.

Here is how you can do it:

Navigate to Blogger Dashboard > Template.
Click the gear icon for the mobile.
Now select “Yes. Show mobile template on mobile devices.” and choose your theme.
Click the save button.



Option #2: Make Your Template Responsive

Option #3: Create an app for mobile devices

Now it's up to you, hope this helps.
