What is blog

Blog is a website where informations are shared with the world on World Wide Web. It was first introduced on December 17, 1997 by Jorn Barger. 

Before it was termed as "weblog" introduced by Jorn Barger on December 17, 1997. Later the word "weblog" was jokingly modified to "blog" by Peter Merholz on April, 1999 on his blog Peterme.com. 

So, blog is a informational website where informative articles are shared with everyone on World Wide Web. Here, authors post their informative articles and enable monetization to earn from it by showing ads and also gets sponsorships. 

How to start a blog

How to start a blog If you do not have any knowledge regarding this platform or if you are new to this platform than it natural that you will think it to be hard or very complicated but thats not true. 

Yes you will need to work hard, you will need to gain knowledge but this will come through your experiences. 

So, there are two different ways to start a website i.e., free and paid. If you are new to this platform than I will suggest you to go temporarily for free one because it will help you to gain experience but if you have spent a while in this platform and have a little bit of knowledge about it then go for the paid one.

1. How to create free blog

There are many different websites that provide you the facility to create a free website or blog. But before you start it lets discuss about its advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages 

• It is totally free. 
• Very easy to setup. 

Disadvantages

• Limited customisation options.
• Can't use custom URLs.
• Can't place ads. 
• Can't use affiliate links. 
• The platform where you created your free blog has the right to delete your blog. 

If you are new to this line then I will suggest you to use a free platform to create your blog because this will help you to gain knowledge and experience on it. Here, you will not have any tension regarding loosing you site or blog.

There are many websites that provide you the facility to create a free blog or site and also is very easy to setup. 

But in a free blog there is very limited customisation available and you do not get the authority to create a custom URL for your post or blog and that website where you created your blog retain the right to delete you blog. 

Some of them do not allow you to place ads or use affiliate links on your free blog which are the main sources of income for all bloggers. 

If you want to create a free blog then here you go with two best websites. 

• Blogger
• WordPress 

2. How to create your own website

It seems to be very tough but it is not. You can creat a website very easily. I will tell you how. But first lets see its advantages and disadvantages. 

Advantages

• Unlimited customisation and design.
• Can use custom URLs.
• Can place ads. 
• Can use affiliate links. 
• No risk of get your blog deleted.

Disadvantages

• It is paid (have to buy domain and hosting). 

Preparing a website on your own gives you a lof of advantages. You just need to buy domain and hosting and you have total control over your site. 

You can use custom URLs and place your desirable ads and use affiliate links where ever you want. And you dobnot have any risk of being your blog deleted by the platform. 

There are many websites that provide you this facility. And one of the best I would suggest is WordPress. 

WordPress gives you the advantage to create a website with many plugins and you can have many themes and customize your blog as per your choice. 

However you can also make one in blog where you just need to buy domain and the hosting is free on this platform. But the only limitation is that you get gery less customisation options here. 

How to choose a blog topic

To start a blog you need to choose a niche on which you want to make your blog on. 

There are many topics in the market to choose but as a beginner I will suggest you to choose one with less competition. Because it will help you to rank fast and later on as you start earning you can put your legs in other niche. I suggested you this because till then you will have enough knowledge on it. 

A niche will help you to customise your URL. 

It will help you to rank your blog on a keyword.
