I have a great business idea that will eventually turn a profit and allow me to follow a passion along the way.
A few obstacles are in the way.
1-This will be a web based business -- I need help with starting a web page (low or no cost, in the beginning). Are there simple ways to look and act professional?
2- I need to learn about blogging and the benefits there of. (I know the term and general idea but I'm not up to speed with the technology) I want people to contribute information for the business to stay fresh and expand on -- Is blogging the way to do this? Or is there other means?
3- If all goes well I will turn this idea/business into a franchise. While I'm working on the rest of this I want to be learning how to set up a franchise model. Any suggestions?

Thank you

If you have a word processing program like Microsoft Word, it's even possible to design a website using it, and some of the free sites will allow you to use your template from it on their sites.

What sort of business will this be concerning, please? No matter the type of business, it's very important in order to getting good exposure to word things in a certain way on a website or in ads placed on the Internet.

Thanks!
