    It's not advisable at all.

    It has nothing to do with whether or not you're planning to buy a domain-name.

    You can have a free blog, on free hosting, anywhere like 000WebHost, or Freehostia, or Byethost, and they'll give you a free subdomain just like Blogger does. You don't need to buy anything to do things wisely and safely rather than riskily and dangerously.

    Use a free WordPress blog, on free hosting, to get started. There are hundreds of videos on YouTube to tell you how to make a good blog with WordPress, and there's free help and support all over the web!

    I'd recommend against using blogger to build a site that you're not serious about. Too many of those blogs get deleted on a whim with no chance of appeal. I had a great blogger blog up with lots of good content and they deleted it without notice, taking all my great content with it - and no chance to appeal - just got automated messages every time I tried to contact someone in support. And no unfortunately I didn't have a backup of my content being that I was just posting blog entries on the fly, so I learned a hard lesson from that experience: BACKUP EVERYTHING (random posts and all) and DO NO trust BLOGGER with my business! That said, I'd recommend you try wordpress.com (free) or better yet wordpress.org (self-hosted)

    You can find cheap domain on Godaddy + find cheap hosting. Yes, you can do it with blogger platform, but I'm sure better use WordPress that hosted in your hosting service will be much better option. The key is you need to fail to learn something. Hosting/year + domain/1st year can be as cheap as less than $20-40. That is huge step before you could do other thing especially online marketing.

    First get off of Blogger and go with Wordpress. With Wordpress, you can hire a Wordpress expert who can customize a theme for you and make it look like a *real website instead of a blog. Got you gotta put your work in too though. Get on your grind and search for them. You will have to get a real domain name too. Hope you got one in mind. Look in Warriors for Hire and see if you find something.

    Just like an email list, a blog is extremely important to have. 80% of the websites on the Internet today are blogs.Having a free blogger blog may seem like a cool idea initially. That's because you'll not spend any money on buying a domain and hosting your blog.

    But before you decide to continue using your free blogger blog, you need to consider these:

    a.) You don't have control of your free blogger blog. Google can delete your blog anytime and you will NEVER know why. And it normally happens.

    b.) Free blogger blogs don't hold much trust from your visitors. You may be losing sales without you knowing.

    c.) Let's say you have a successful free blogger blog and you want to move your blog to self-hosted domain. You will definitely lose your ranking on Google because all your backlinks will change. You may also find it hard to transfer your free blogger blog to other web hosting platforms.

    If you are serious about online business, you will need to buy a domain and pay for a web hosting service.

    If you would still like to use free blogs, then you may try Weebly.com. They provide you with a max of 10 free blogs. They have easy-to-use tools. You just click and drag those tools to create your blog.

    Just Google the phrase, 'free hosting no ads' (without the quotes) and you will come up with pages of sites that offer free hosting. Most will give you a decent looking domain as well as access to scripts that auto install a good looking site. You won't have to be pestered with ads and less chance that your site will be taken down by the hosting company as can happen with Blogger.
