Some people also find that by signing up with a free blogging service, it may be easier for the search engines to find them as opposed to buying a domain and starting a blog on your own hosting account. Since Google owns Blogger, the Google bots are always looking for new blogs that have been published. They are always spidering the blogs looking for new and updated content. If you have a free blog on Blogger, there is a good chance that the big search engine Google is going to find you pretty fast.

If your blog becomes a hit and you gain a large readership, you might want to consider moving it to your own domain. With doing this, you are going to have more control over your blog. Hosting your blog on a free service gives them access to shut you down if they wanted to. If you had your own domain and hosted blog, this wouldn't happen. Some also feel that having your own hosted blog on your own domain is also more professional. With some of the companies that pay you to do sponsored blog posts, you also need to have your own domain.

There are advantages to both. Some people, like me have both kinds of blogs. I have blogs on my own domain and I also have some hosted free on Blogger. Starting with a free service is a great way to get started though, especially if you have no money.
