    first i wont use free blog as my main blog site, i use free blogs as a backlink place pointed to my main blog

    second the best way to research for a niche is either get a niche software such as market samurai or use google keywords and google trend tool

    Start on Wordpress.org. Transferring posts can give you quite a headache.

    For the niche, focus on your passion and think about how you can help other people who are also interested in that topic. From there, come up with blogposts that can help them. I know that some people may argue that the topic should be profitable to begin with. But I always find blogs born out of passion a pleasure to read.

    There is criteria for picking niches, you want them to:
    • have light competition
    • high search volume
    • high CPC (if monetizing with AdSense) and general profitability
    Finding them can take some time it depends on your imagination.

    I'd also suggest a use of tools such as Google Keyword Tools and Traffic Travis. For start that is all you'll need.

    If you can't afford to have a paid blog/site... you can start first with Wordpress.com. With regards to niche, choose the one that interest you. It is easier to create a site if your niche is close to heart and want you really want.

    Get a self-hosted blog. You are going to lose lot of SEO, visitors when you move your blog around.

    Build a brand from day one. If it gets big you are already in the driver's seat .

    Oh! And don't forget to build an email list!

    I'd recommend to buy a domain and some shared hosting. It is so much better than any free options
