HOW TO CREATE A BLOG FOR FREE!

ongratulations! You’ve finally made up your mind to create
your blog. I also want to let you know
that you’re just at the right place where your blog will be raised and groomed
to become a great success.
Most people start blogging with the mind frame that it is
one of the ways to make money online while working from home. I firmly
discourage this
mind set. In my blogging career, there have been times when I lost all motivation. I lost every strength and passion I had for blogging. I asked myself what really I was thinking when I started this. At this point, it is only your passion to make impact and affect lives, while gaining happiness by doing just what you love doing, blogging, that’ll keep you standing on your feet.

How do I create a new blog for free?
There are two free blogging platforms. They are Google blogger and WordPress.
I’ll list some of their pros and cons so you’ll know which to set off with.
Google
blogger
Some of the pros of Google
blogger include
·
First and foremost, it is owned by Google which
is a great search engine so it’s possible they’ll throw a few visits your way.
·
Blogger has nice template designs
·
For most people looking to monetize their blog using Google Ad Sense
, it is quite easier with
blogger so long as you meet their requirements. I’ll talk about these
requirements in a later post.
Cons
·
Blogger has share buttons that are compact and
not too user friendly. This isn’t
nice since you’ll want your visitors to easily share your great content.
·
The loading speed of a blogger blog, especially
when you’ve added many widgets, is slow.
·
Your default domain name must include their subdomain for example, your domain name
can only be “BlogRaise.Blogspot.com”. You can only have a custom domain name if you’ve purchased one.
WordPress
WordPress Pros
include
·
WordPress has very beautiful design templates
made ready for your WordPress blog
·
Its share buttons are user- friendly and so you
don’t have to worry about your content being shared.
Cons
·
I think it’s very difficult, if not impossible, to join the AdSense program using a
free WordPress blog.
·
Like blogger, your default name must include
their subdomain for example, you can only have “Blograise.wordpress.com” unless
you purchased a custom domain name.
·
WordPress shows you list of available domain
names to choose from unless you choose to purchase your own custom domain.
When you’ve finally decided to use Google blogger or WordPress
as your blogging platform, simply follow
the steps below to create your new blog.
