Start a Blog Using a Free Service

1
Sign up for a free blog at a free blogging service, such as blogger.com or wordpress.com. When you choose your username, you'll receive a web address that matches that name. For example, if I sign up on wordpress.com for cellphoneguy as my username, my site would be cellphoneguy.wordpress.com

Find or create a blog theme that makes your new website unique. You can either build your own template if you have .css and other design skills, or you can pay for a unique design.

Create content for your website. Focus on a niche, and don't get too broad. The more targeted your traffic, the more likely you are to find a buyer. Also, be sure to write evergreen articles: articles that will be as relevant next year as they are today.

Build up your website traffic and attempt to obtain as many back links as possible. Back links are links that point back to your website from other sites. In theory, the more back links your site has, the more it's worth.

Sell your site by advertising on free domain sale sites, such as forums.digitalpoint.com and sitepoint.com. If you have a price in mind, set a BIN (Buy It Now) price for your website. Otherwise, an auction-style system may better suit your needs.

Be sure in your posting to mention the number of visitors to your site, the niche you're targeting and any revenues up until the point of the sale. If you have not targeted any revenue streams, be sure to mention that fact.
