Money ideas for grassroots organisations:Starting a blog

Some of the grassroot initiatives have no website because of course there is no money to buy hosting and domain. But there is another way, getting a free blog and blogging about your initiative to get word out there about what your project is about and how can people help you. As I have in the past volunteered with different villages I know not always they want money money money sometimes they need the people out there to help them with ideas on how to solve a certain problem. Through your free blog you can have experts from all over the globe help you but those expert they need to know your project and this is where your community blog comes in handy.


I'm familiar with blogger so this is how we go about it. In the next few days will try to find volunteer who has inside information on how to open with word press and others.
To start blogging with blogger (blogspot), It is absolutely free and you can even monetise it with ads either from google or from other sources.


1st step

visit the Blogger.com home page and select the button "Create Your Blog Now" button to begin the process to start your new Blogger.com blog.
