includes the company’s name (e.g., www.YourWebHost.com/yoursite ).
I don’t encourage you to use “Free” domain unless your objective of creating a blog is just to
create a platform to share your journal with your offline friends.

10 Reasons why Advertising on Social Sites Fails!

                                MISTAKE #1
                                Lack of Activity
The number one reason advertising on social media sites delivers
disappointing results comes down to one simple thing: lack of activity. . A
lot of people carry the misconception that all one needs to do is sign up for a
social media site, and the floodgates of self-promotion will open wide. But
nothing could be further from the truth! You must be active on your social
media site in order to attract attention to anything you may be promoting.
Otherwise, the site’s members will have little or no information about you,
which will render your exposure all but non-existent. The best way to avoid
falling victim to this problem is to simply take the time to log in each and
every day, and take advantage of the site’s features by searching for people,
topics, or articles that you find interesting. Additionally, it’s important to
post updates about yourself as often as you can. This practice helps to ensure
that you maintain a level of interest about you among the site’s members. By
staying active in this way, you magnify interest in you, right along with
awareness about the product, service or concept you are promoting. Be
active, or risk being invisible!
