I recently received the following question from a reader:

“I have read that you can blog to promote your business, but I am not sure how to get started. Can you give me some direction on how to get my own blog?”

It sounds like this reader probably read an article of mine entitled “Promoting Your Jewelry Business Via Blogs.” In it, I talk about what a blog (aka weblog) is, why it might be a good idea to write one, how to blog, and is it worth your time.

But, where do you get started? One place, of course, is About.com’s Weblog site. It’s pretty much got everything you’ve ever wanted to know about weblogs. Also, here are a few places you can sign up and start blogging about your jewelry:

Blogger
LiveJournal
MyBlogSite
Freewebs
