How To Start Free Blogging & Make Money Online

1. Choose a Niche(Topic)

Choosing the right niche is a very important part of blogging.

The first thing is that think about what topic your blog will be, it could b anything wheater it is technology-related blogs or, lifestyle, food blog, or your business.

To choose a perfect niche, first of all, think, what are the topics on that you can write articles without getting bored or losing interest.

For example, I'm very interested in techy things that's why I run this blog which is truly based upon the technology, and I know that I can write articles on this topic.

2. Select Platform

As this article is only about starting blogging for free so I'm going to talk about the free platforms that are good for you to start a blog.

For free you have two options that are WordPress and Blogger, some people get confused about choosing the right platform, so I'm going to clear out your doubts so that you can choose your blogging platform according to your needs.

WordPress vs Blogger

Wordpress is used by professional bloggers so you must be thinking I should start WordPress but wait, WordPress is good for self-hosted blogs which means if you want to spend some money for a domain name and hosting then you should definitely choose WordPress because it gives tons of customizations that really help your blog to rank on top on google.

For free WordPress (eg: your blog.wordpress.com) is not as good as a blogger because there are very fewer chances to get advertisements on your blog to earn money.

Blogger is very good for those who want to start blogging for free because it has a very simple interface which is very good for newbie bloggers.

Blogger is also self-hosted, as a blogger is a google's platform so you can directly apply for AdSense approval by writing 20-30 quality articles and you can start making money online.

3. Pick A Domain

Now pick a domain that describes your blog, for example, you are creating a blog on food travel then you can choose your domain name related to food. it really helps to rank your blog.

Try to choose a domain name short length neither too long or too short it should be medium so that people can easily read it. 

4. Choose a Theme

In blogger, you can get some of the simple and fast themes for your blog that looks really good, but if you wanted your blog to look professional then you can search on google free themes for a blogger you will get tons of options you use that too.

Always choose a simple theme and fast theme to check the speed of the theme you can visit GTmatrix simply paste that theme's URL and you can see the speed of that theme.

5. Setup Your Blog

After doing all these steps now its time to set up your blog.

Now you must be thinking what should I set up so, first of all, set up your blog's interface like adding logos and favicon, widgets, pages, and contacts, create a proper page for contact, disclaimer, about us and privacy policy after that make a category section to organize your blog posts

Also set up your sidebars as your desired look by using popular posts, email subscriptions, and all the necessary widgets, dont forget to set up your push notification services and pop-ups email subscription box to collect email so that you can share content with your right users.

The most important step is to submit your blog on google search console, by submitting your blog on search console, Google will crawl your blog and your Blogspot will be visible in google search. this step is very important, I'll suggest you read some articles or watch some videos to properly add your blog in search console.

I'll suggest you first write 10-15 Blogspot and then add your blog on google search console.
