What made you want to start up your site? Did you start out with your own money or have investors? Did you do it yourself or with a partner(s)?

I started out with a free blog format on Blogger, and kept adding content to it twice a week. Once my blog has a page rank and decent traffic and followers, I searched for way to earn money by signing up with different services. Then, slowly other advertisers found me and offered me paid to post directly.

I don't pay anything for my blogs, except for the domain names once a year!

That is a good question. I have been thinking of creating something and would like to know what kick-started others to get off the ground?
