If you enjoy blogging, have a chosen niche with knowledge about that niche, a hosted blog can be effective. Blogs are simple to set up and easy to maintain.
A website is of greater value when completed, it is like your business property. A website gives you more credibility as you brand yourself.
My advice is for you to go for a website with a blog, most sitebuilders have a blogging feature so you get the best of both a website and a blog.
Your website would have several pages such as:
-Home
-Contact
-Blog
-Splash
You post to your blog regularly. Advertise and promote the blog page as your blog. You can share each post to social network while promoting your site.
On each page you can advertise SFI in various ways. You can promote a splash page or your Home page.
You can start with a free website. When you have set up you can then proceed to upgrade to a paid hosting with your own domain.
You can also start with paid hosting and purchase a domain name.
