First off you have three choices in that you can host your own site,  you can join one of the many free blogs available on the net, or you can have a combination of both. I actually have seven blogs, two of which I host on lunarpages. These are Well Blog Me! and the blog you’re reading at the moment. You will notice that both blogs have Google Ads displayed prominently which provide a nice passive income. Now if you’re able to host  your own blog I recommend you do so as not many sites who allow you free blogs offer you this facility. If you’re not a member of Google Adsense you can join by clicking on the icon to the right.

Here are a list of sites that offer you free blogging software.

1. WordPress (which is the one I use)
2. b2Evolution
3. SubText
4. Blosxom
5. LifeType

These are some of the free sites that let you host your own blog.

1. BloggerParty
2. BlogFeast
3. WritingUp
4. BlogCharm
5. Blogger

Edit: Sites like writingup, blogfeast and bloggerparty are no longer accepted by some sites.

The last two are unique in that they allow you to have your own google ads on your blogs. My next post will touch on companies that pay you to blog and some of their requirements.
