Yes, it does cost money if you want your blog hosted on its own domain name (like http://www.bluntmoney.com). I pay for hosting, which runs around $84 per year through Bluehost (affliate link). Dreamhost is another popular host. If you don’t care about having your own domain name or just want to get a taste for blogging, you could set up a free blog at blogger. Then the domain name would be along the lines of blogname.blogspot.com. Blogger has its own interface & templates to choose from, so you’d just use those if that’s what you choose. I use a template designed for Wordpress, which is the blogging software I use. It really just depends what route you want to go. The biggest investment is probably time. I usually spend a minimum of 1/2 hour a day blogging, sometimes more.

Actually Im considering creating a financial blog for myself to try to gain some support and encouragement. It’s difficult when some people spend as if there is no tomorrow….and others, well they just have much higher incomes, and are not in the same boat.

Does it cost money to have a blog like this one? How did you go about setting it up?

Thanks for your help.

I hear what you’re saying. I need to work on this.

As much as I’d like to believe the “negative element” is looking out for my best interest, the negativity alone slowly wears away at my objectives.

Like minded people are key.
