If you want to get started blogging a good way is to setup a free blog. That's what I did when I first got started. I used Blogger.com, Wordpress.com, and also Tumblr.com until I felt comfortable, and then I changed and decided to host my own blog.
But if you want to get started, a free blog is a good beginning. This lens is all about how to do it.
Choose a Blog Platform
Blogger.com is the Platform I Use
I got started with blogger.com, but I've also used wordpress.com. Keep in mind that wordpress.com doesn't let you put things like adsense ads in your blog.
For that reason, I highly recommend using blogger to begin with because it is easy to get started, and you can put Adsense ads on it without a problem.
Tumblr is also a good platform but it is not really suited towards people who want to make money online. It is more of a creative journal.

The ones I use.
- Adsense is my most successful way to monetize so far. Right now, my earnings have plateaued but as the traffic picks up, I imagine so will my earnings.
- Affiliate Marketing is something I am also doing on my blog. I earn some money here and there. The key is that I promote products that are helpful to my readers.
