How/where to start my blog?

Discussion in 'Blogging' started by albertr, May 8, 2021.

    I’m starting a blog which I hope to eventually monetize.

    In fact I’m considering beginning multiple different blogs in the hopes of finding one to monetize. I’m hoping to start with a free blog website in case my blogs aren’t gaining traction or if the content is too hard for me to create over the long term.

    Which site do people suggest I use?

    My concern with a free blog site is, the difficulty transferring content to a domain I eventually purchase, when it’s time to monetize the blog.

    Does anyone have experience with moving a site from a free blog to a site where you can monetize the blog? Can you offer any advice?

    Hiya

    I've moved my blog hosting from Bluehost to Siteground before and its no trouble.

    The company you move to will take care of everything for you as a new customer.

    I'm pretty sure it would be the same moving from a free site host.

    The cost is minimal. Do it right first time.

    If you aren't sure if your ideas are any good then find a free business plan template and work through the steps.

    Alternatively, consider the cost of a night out... I bet it costs more than buying a domain and hosting for a year.

    To start your blog you need logo templates. On other forums, I was advised a site where I can make my logos and my templates in order to be different from others and be unique.

    If you want to look professional don't bother with the free sites.

    Also, keep in mind that when you post content on somebody else's domain they pretty much control that content.

    It’s not difficult at all. If your site is already live all you need to do is go to a hosting provider and they will transfer everything for you, even the domain name. I’ve used SiteGround with my sites and they are brilliant

    First off applause for your idea to start blogging.

    There are plenty of options to start your blog. But ensure professionalism in every single aspect of your blog. Well, that must start from a proper domain name for your blog. If you want to be in professional attire, jump over and get rid of the free blogger platforms. Buy your domain name from an affordable domain name provider.

    Blogger, Medium, and Tumblr are some free blog sites. They allow you to use a custom domain also (Except Medium). But you should choose a niche first. Then, find some less competitive keywords to start working.

    It does not have the slightest importance where and how to open your blog, The important thing is that it works and be a center of seductiveness for people. I had 4 blogs, from here I understood that I Anywhere and anytime I can achieve success blogging. The first experience was the hardest, but also the most copious in terms of understanding about the blog only after that I was conscious of how to start a personal finance blog. For me the blog is already much more than just a job, and the first thousand dollars I did it became a new successful stage of my life

    If you want it to look professional then you should consider opening your own site where you will place blog articles right in the beginning, as if you write it on some other sites it won't look that professional. In this case, you won't be able to start different blogs at once and you should focus more on finding quality and popular niches that could help you earn money in the future. See also some affiliate marketing networks and check other blogs where they place their offers to get some ideas about blog topics, as this could be one way for you to monetize it in the later stages.

    Hello,

    There are lots of ways, through which you can start your personal blog. If you are a newbie then I would recommend you to go with WordPress.com. Through this site, you can easily create the subdomain and start building your own website. And after getting much traffic on this blog, you can easily migrate that blog to any other external web hosting service provider.
