The first step is to start in the right foot, and choosing the best option according to your needs. Here are some options you have:
Use a Blogging Platform
Blogger (by Google) offers you an easy method to create your first website. It’s completely free and widely used. Many popular bloggers started this way.
With WordPress.com, you have the opportunity to build your blog using the most popular platform worldwide. But like Blogger, your domain name will not be hosted by yourself.
Use a Publishing Platform
A publishing Platform (can be referred as a microblogging platform) like Medium or Tumblr is essentially a non-branded platform for publishing content and maintaining a blog. A publishing platform is essentially a blogging platform meets a social networking website.
Use a Website Creator
Website Builder and IM Creator are free website creators. They have a simple to use drag and drop platform and many templates to choose from. You can have your content published in a matter of minutes.
If you opt to go with a website builder for your blog, it’s extremely important to conduct some research on all the different ones you can use. Read up on some popular online website creator tools to choose the one you like the most.
Use a CMS
If you want to have complete control on your website, and you feel ready to have your self hosted blog, you can use the most popular CMS WordPress.org and a free hosting platform like Hostt to start.
