I'm thinking of starting a blog.. so I googled 'most views blogs of 2014' and guess what topped the list.. fashion blog, yes. I want to start blogging.
I need help from all the Nairaland fashion bloggers, what are the things I need to start? and which web hosting platform is good and reliable? blogger seems nice, but it looks stressful to me, and they are too strict. but I don't wanna buy my domain for now. so how do I go about it?
and again, how can I make money with AdSense on my blog(even if its not mine)
answering all these questions would mean the world to me, I'd really appreciate it. thanks
I'm really serious abt this.

You don't need blogging try money rituals

I can give you a hand.

really? how pls?

I got banned for posting on this thread. Seun's spambot doesn't want people helping other people.

EroticAngelina, first off, please ask if you really have the passion for fashion, let alone fashion blogging. If you don't, doesn't matter how beautiful your site is or how technically sound you the admin are, it won't be successful. So first, the $1m question: is your heart truly in this?

yes!!!! I do. what's next pls?

EroticAngelina:

Alright then. From a more strategic point of view rather than technical, I'd say settle two other questions, viz: 1, How will my blog be different from other fashion blogs I've seen out there? and 2, Who am I really targeting as my main audience?

Ok, I get. Just try first with the android. If it s a phone, you re gonna problems formatting... and your blog posts will look shabby. Big turnoff girl! Many readers might not come back EXCEPT you have a different hook, maybe more pictures than text. If the android is a tablet, will do.

Pardon me jare. I wanted to hit QUOTE when I hit SHARE. Pardon me pls.

The joy of adsense comes from leveraging on scale, alias the population of visitors you receive. The higher the traffic, the more substantial your adsense earnings. So your blog better have great content that'll pull A LOT of interest from people. Otherwise, I'd say write a mini business plan, jst for you and see about monetizing other revenue sources borne of the topic expertise .e.g. Selling a digital product, offering personal coaching, going after sponsored adverts (purchased adverts by firms and org, nt google ads), etc. The key question is: how do I approach my blog topic in order to attract followership? More traffic, more sense your adsense earnings will be.

lol but how can I activate this adsense

EroticAngelina:
lol but how can I activate this adsense

Register a blogger account and put up a few HIGH QUALITY posts. Then google "adsense signup" and register. You ll then give them time to review your site. Once approved, they ll mail you with instructions and your unique placeholder code that'll hold your adverts, which you ll then have to paste on any part of your blog you like. C'est fini!

if you put your mind firstly at the money, trust me, you won't go far. Do it for the passion first and that will follow after a long while, and again, PC remains the best option, otherwise are just compilations of stress which will become tiring along the line, maybe resulting to give ups
