Hi Linda,

Thanks for giving me more info on that. I am now pretty confident of starting a WordPress blog. I've just started reading on 'niche' on the forum. It's just so much to take on! But, I particulary found that forum very practical with plenty of useful links. I thought 'niche' means just too vague to me especially cos I was so convinced that I didn't have the necessary analytical skills. I am not analytical. My attitude is like, 'follow my gut, take the plunge and let's just see where it takes'. I like venturing out new stuff and I do when I am convinced and ready about 80%. The forum helps me geting ready so much!!

Hi Dan,

Thanks for your input. I am not sure what a shared hosting plan is. What I am thinking is starting with Blog and turn my hobby to Blog contents which should be a good and informative source to some people. And a few months down on, I will install a WordPress Blog over to my hosting CPanel.

This is what I have figured out so far.

As to my old website, I built it, using hosting software installed on my laptop about 4 years ago. Once it was built, there was no maintenace work required. Got steady enquiry emails. Sold my products. I had enough people (small niche) to make just enough money. Average unique visitors per day are 41 and average no. of visits per day are 77. In affiliate marketing world, I think this is really small!

The hosting was paid for a year. Not using it may be a waste. But since WordPress is more google friendly, it seems beneficial to start with it....
