cheesy

There is no way to stop them from devouring your contents like hungry dogs since your site (I presume) is popular!

I read somewhere, why you shouldn't really worry about people who leech your contents, Google will rank your site higher because the content first appeared on your site with no plagiarism.

Don't know if that information is now rusty, I quit blogging a long time ago.

No body will choose a niche for you since you are the one that will do the business.

You have to go with the one that is most suitable for you and the one that you can finish.

You know your capability.

As for hosting, WordPress is good, blogger is also good. You have to choose the one that you can maintain.

Everyone can maintain a blogger blog if compared to WordPress.

If you choose blogger, then buy your custom domain name from whogohost, then point it to your blogger blog.

If you need help in buying and setting up your domain name on whogohost, then let me know.

I want to set up a new blog.
I have different ideas and I don't know which one to choose.

I will number the issues and talk about them separately.

1) Niche: I have three different ideas. I don't know which one to go with.
The first is a blog on Nigeria. Specifically to provide information about Nigeria. No politics, no entertainment, purely information about Nigeria. I've already registered the domain name for this but I'm yet to pay for it. From my research, I discovered that there is a good number searches monthly in google for information relating to Nigeria. Also, I discovered that there are not a lot of blogs dedicated to this. However, I'm worried about competition from news and entertainment blogs that are general and are not dedicated to this.

The second is a blog on Architecture. As a student of Architecture, I noticed that there are not enough blogs that is if any dedicated to Architecture in Nigeria. It's mostly websites for some Architectural firms and then some real estate blogs.
However, there are not much searches relating to Architecture in Nigeria. I'm worried about getting traffic on this blog. I don't see how I'll make money from this.

The third and the last is a real estate blog. I'm not really much into this. I'm considering it actually because it like broadens the Architecture niche. So that's why I'm considering it as it has more searches monthly. Though it has more competition.

That's the three niches I'm thinking of going into.

2) Platform
I don't know if I should go with the blogger platform or wordpress. I need advice on that.

3)*. If I go with WordPress what's the best affordable local hosting in Nigeria.
From my research so far, I've found out four that are good.
Garanntor.ng
Qserver
Whogohost
Gigalayer
Web4africa
Smartweb


Please I really need your advice. I'm ready to go into blogging as a business and invest my money in it. I've readied some funds towards this.

Please help a brother.

Whatever you do, I'll advise you stay away from Smartweb. They have the most unreliable servers and incompetent staff. They are very responsive when you open tickets but what's the point of being responsive if they will provide robotic and ignorant responses.

My dear, most Nigerians use blogger and i will personally use WordPress. As for the hosting since you're particular about local host, you can go with WhogoHost or gigalayer.

But me i do foreign host and Namecheap in particular.

After you're done creating your blog and start blogging around your niche, making sure it's properly optimized and indexed becomes important. I have earlier today created a thread on 'How to Find Out if Your Website is Indexed by the Search Engine's: You can read that thread here https://www.nairaland.com/4019026/how-find-out-website-listed Or better still read the article itself here: http://doerstechnologies.com.ng/how-to-find-out-if-your-website-listed-search-engines

Hi, good evening. Forgive me if I sound really clueless. I intend to run a blog, but I have a few questions. First, I'd love to start up on a free platform like , but I'm yet to understand the domain name part.

My dear you just said you're going for the free part and not self hosted service...in that case you don't need or have to pay for a domain.

But if you're going for a self hosted option, then getting your domain and host becomes a must without which you can't get started

Alright. I'll stick with the free platform for now. Basically, I'd love to concentrate on updating the blog as a hobby (I really do love writing), then perhaps start making money from it if the going is good and I understand the intricacies better. So, about the niche, I was wondering if it'd be profitable if I make it look like a diary, you know, writing my thoughts on just anything. If I stick to the diary-outlook, would it fetch me money in the long run?

Money shouldn't be your motivation...YOUR PASSION and THE VALUE you intend to offer SHOULD.......meanwhile you can also try other platforms like https://medium.com/ may serve you better

Yes, I know. But it would also be good to make something off your passion.
