The first thing you’ll need to get for free is a host. Deciding between a free host and a paid host can determine the direction your blog goes in. You will save money with a free host but you won’t have the control or diversity that you’d have with a paid host. You also won’t be able to transfer traffic and search engine rankings from your subdomain on a free host to a domain name you own if you ever decide to strike out on your own. You might want to look into options for very cheap web hosting before deciding on a free blog. It may just cost you a few dollars month. Look for a deal where you can get a free domain name with the purchase of hosting or free hosting with the purchase of a domain name to ease the pain of paying for a host.

You’ll need to learn basic technical skills to blog for free. This includes being your own webmaster and also your own designer. There are a plethora of free templates out there. If you choose a simple template you won’t have to customize it at all. On the other hand, it won’t speak to your business or content specifically. You can make your own blog header to personalize it.

The other blogging expense that many people encounter is pictures. If you are focused more on SEO then including photos might not be that important to you. You can’t just grab any picture that you see on a search engine and post it on your blog; this violates copyright laws and can get you in big trouble. You can take your own pictures and then make sure that they have a watermark or your company name on them so other people don’t steal them. You can also find Creative Commons photos where you can choose between photos with different licenses for free. You have to include the name of the artist and sometimes the link to the photographer’s website. It’s unlikely that you’ll find photos of celebrities or fashion shows this way so it depends on your niche.

Another way to get free pictures is with affiliate links. You’ll want to use these links sparingly on your blog. You do get a percentage of each sale that is made through your link but you don’t want your blog to look like spam. These links come with pictures of the DVDs, movies, e-books or household items that you are selling. Not only are they free to use they can actually make you money as well.

You will have to do a lot of things yourself if you want to know how to blog for free. You’ll have to spend hours writing your own content. Then you have to take the place of a search engine optimization company and promote your blog and get links to it. You’ll want to make sure that you aren’t actually losing money by spending too much time on something. Figure out what your hourly rate would be if you took on a part time job. If your blogging expenses to hire someone else to do it for you come out to a lot less your hourly wage then maybe free blogging isn’t the right way to go for you.

Blogging for free is a challenge. What you don’t spend in money you’ll spend in an investment of time. You want to make sure that you can afford to expend the time. The upside to this is that you’ll know everything about how to run and design your blog to fit the needs of your site.

Making your articles available for reprints by other ezine publishers and webmasters is the cornerstone strategy in building an avalanche of pre-qualified visitors to your website.

If you want your articles to be picked up and massively distributed by others, here are 7 common mistakes to avoid:

Article Mistake #1 Too many grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors.

In addition to having your article proofed by others, you may also want to be sure that you have clearly defined paragraphs. Nothing is worse than a big blob of text with 20 run-on sentences.

Readers no longer read articles in depth and often only ’scan’ your article. They want small bites of information that can be easily digested… also known as “info-snacking.”

Keep your “voice” in the same person throughout the entire article. If you are using the first person voice (I, me) or the second person (you, we, us) or the third person (they, them, he, she)…be consistent by staying in one voice for the entire article.

Article Mistake #2 Too much hype, bragging and self-promotion.

If you are as good as you know you are, there is no reason to fill the body of the article with hype, gratuitous links to your site or blatant self-promotion. Readers are smart and will see right through your “hype-veil.”

Better to only sell or pitch your company in the RESOURCE BOX below the body of the article. Research I’ve done indicates that the resource box often gets a 3% CTR (Click Through Rate). Be sure you take advantage of that by not selling hard in the body of the article.

Article Mistake #3 Content based on what you need to learn, not what your reader needs.

Put yourself in your reader’s shoes and ask yourself, “What does this article offer me?” Research what your reader wants to read by doing survey’s with your own audience or do keyword search engine research to find what people are looking for.

Article Mistake #4 Making your article broad or superficial in content.

It’s better to go in-depth on a narrow topic. Define it. Explain it. Relate to it. Use bullet points or numbered lists. Offer a secret or expertise that you have around the topic. Be original in covering your topic as narrowly as possible in a way that has not been done by others. Brevity is golden.

Article Mistake #5 Headline and article summary does not grab readers’ attention.

The headline is often ~95% of the initial reason why someone might read your article or pass it over for another article. Don’t bore your audience out of the gate with a dull headline or worse, a boring introduction to the article.

If you have to use two sentences to make your headline, you’re thinking too hard. Keep it simple and make it brief. Use keyword research tools to optimize your article title.

Article Mistake #6 Plagiarizing or ‘buying articles’…

It’s ok to research the Internet for article ideas, but it’s not ok to copy word-for-word of any article. Paraphrasing can also be classified as plagiarism. Be original. Let the words flow from your mind into your article. You will sleep better at night and your articles will have a higher value in the marketplace.

Buying articles is not a great idea…especially if you do not get an exclusive license to use them. What good is the same article if thousands of people call it their own? If you do outsource your article writing to ghost writers, make sure you have an exclusive right or license to the works.

Article Mistake #7 Don’t burn out the RESOURCE BOX by overloading it.

The RESOURCE BOX is your pay-off for giving your article up for free reprints, but don’t abuse the welcome mat by including a dozen website addresses. Stick with one website URL or two at the most and you’ll find your article may find a higher distribution rate.

If you want to be really tacky, include an affiliate link in the RESOURCE BOX. A better strategy is to have a domain name registered for every affiliate program that you pitch and include the domain name that rewrites or refreshes to your affiliate link. This is much less tacky and looks more professional.
