So, you’re finally ready to open your own blog but don’t have any money to hire a freelancer or you’re just nor ready to invest in the blog yet.
Whichever it is, you’ve come to the right place 🙂
Here you’re going to learn how to create a free blog using WordPress or blogger
Note: There are many other ways to create a free blog like coding and using other website builders but for the purpose of this post, we are focusing on only blogger and wordpress
CREATE A FREE BLOG WITH BLOGGER
Creating a free blogger blog is extremely easy and can be done in less than 10 minutes
- First login to blogger .com
- Click on create account
- Type in your gmail address (if you don’t have one create one)
- Type in your password
That’s it
Congratulations, you’ve just created your free blogger blog
Now all that is left is for you to start blogging 😉
WAIT
Before you keep reading, keep in mind that there are some downsides to creating a free blog with most website builders
One is that they give you a sub-domain. For instance, when you create a free blogger.com blog and the name is example, instead of it being example.com it’ll end up being example.blogspot.com.
For wordpress it’d be example.wordpress.com and so on for other web-builders.
Q1: Have you ever created a free blog? Tell me your answer in the comments
CREATE a fREE BLOG WITH WORDPRESS.com
Before we learn how to create a free blog with wordpress, you have to know that there is a difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org
With wordpress.com, you can create a blog for free but like I said about restrictions you’ll only get a sub-domain and you’ll have to upgrade to their business, premium or e-commerce packs to own your own domain and use plugins. The good thing though is that they host your blog for free.
WordPress.org on the other hand allows you to use as much plugins as you want without paying anything, but the catch is you’ll have to find a hosting provider and pay them to host your website/blog for you.
Alright, now we know the difference, let’s continue
- First login to wordpress.com
- Click on create blog
- Input your email account
- Create a password
- Confirm your password
It’s that easy
CONCLUSION
Owning a blog is a wonderful experience and there’s no shame in not having any money to hire someone or pay for hosting
As of the time of writing this post I am using a free wordpress.com blog
This is why website builders made creating a free blog possible. Although there are restrictions, you can still share your opinions with the world
Q2: If you already own a free blog, tell me your experience and or challenges in the comments I’d love to hear them.
So, that’s how to create a free blog with blogger or wordpress. Which web-builder do you prefer?
