WHAT IS A ‘BLOG’?

In simple term, we can say that ‘a blog is a platform i.e., an an informational website which helps us to share our ideas or any type information to other people of the same interest’.

 

A blog consists of several posts and web pages created by one or more bloggers. A blogger is a person who writes articles (or provide any type of content) to a website.

Whether you are a content provider, an educator, a cook, a business person, or a traveler, you can create a blog (website) and share your content with people all around the world. You can also grow your business. Thus, whoever you are, you can start a blog.

But the important thing is creating a blog that matters. Many people create thousands of blogs every day but, very few of them get serious about it.

Now, you would be thinking that how one can create and start a blog. So, let’s talk about creating a blog.


HOW TO CREATE A BLOG?

Creating a blog is much easier than you think. One can create a blog (even that person who doesn’t know the ABC of blogging) in just no time with very simple 5 steps which are mentioned below. Now, let’s talk about what you can do to create a blog.

To create a blog, you don’t need a pile of things. You only need to have

✔ A suitable name for your blog.

Now, l am going to tell you the very simple 5 steps to create a blog –

DIFFERENT BLOGGING SITES 

There are different blogging sites available and, by you can create your blog by using any one of them. Some of them are free while you will pay for some of the blogging sites. Here I've mentioned some blogging sites :
Now, you will be thinking that which one is best for your blog. So, let's get the answer below.


BEST BLOGGING SITE FOR BEGINNERS

See, many good blogging sites provide a great experience and are easy to use. Such as WordPress, Wix, etc. But, they are not free. You will have to pay for them.

If you can spend money then you can definitely choose WordPress or Wix. Paid sites provide too many plugins and features including themes/templates.

And, if you are a newcomer and don't know anything about blogging and you don't want to pay for the blogging sites then, you can use Blogger because it is a product of Google and it is completely free to use. Blogger is one of the oldest blogging sites. But, its popularity has been fallen due to the other paid blogging sites. 

Also, you can start with a blogger, get experience, and then shift to WordPress.
