Thinking of starting you own blog.........
Then you might also want your blog to approved by adsense through which you can earn money but getting approved is extremely difficult. The first mistake that a rookie will do is applying for AdSense account immediately after creating the blog. Then your account will not be approved.First wait for 4-5 months in this time try to publish as many posts as possible. Keep checking Alexa ranking of your website if your blog is in alexa ranking then it might be approved by AdSense quickly. Try to ease your self to with the HTML codes of your blog you may also want to replace your current template with a ready made template but this means that your gonna copy a template keeping this in your mind you can change the template. If you be careful on what you publish in your blog then you can be approved.
All the best :-)
