Stage 1: Decide – Create Free Blog or Self-Hosted Blog?

Blogging platformsAs I referenced in the presentation, beginning and keeping up a normal estimated blog will cost somewhere in the range of $0 and $60 per year.

So indeed, you can begin your blog for literally nothing, however– similarly as with most things in life– in light of the fact that you can doesn't imply that you should.

Give me a chance to clarify…

Truly, you can make a blog for nothing on various stages, for example,

tumblr.com

blogger.com

wordpress.com

ghost.io

and so forth…

Yet, before you go crushing the above connections and clicking "join", read whatever is left of this area!

Of course, these stages are extraordinary for trying things out and hardening a portion of the thoughts you may have with respect to substance and plan.

Be that as it may, on the off chance that you are not kidding about beginning a gainful and effective blog, you ought to stay away from these stages no matter what.

Here's the reason:

These "free" blogging stages have devastating impediments and extremist expert over your substance.

They are, most importantly, organizations. Furthermore, their principle just reason for existing is to turn a benefit by utilizing your site to move promotion space and setting enough restrictions for you that you are in the end constrained into a "premium" or "boundless" blog plan.

Plans that are, usually, fiercely overrated and woefully under-prepared.

Without their costly upsells, your record will be restricted to a negligible few– and very generic– number of plans from which to pick, a "greatest" number of day by day visits, constrained capacity, and everything except nonexistent client benefit.

Furthermore, we should not overlook that these stages have absolute power over your substance.

So on the off chance that you post something that one of your benevolent neighborhood site arbitrators doesn't care for, your whole site (and the majority of your information) can be erased in a moment.

Simply consider that for a second…

You invest months hustling and pounding to develop your blog. Gradually yet without a doubt you obtain an OK number of steadfast guests and supporters. At that point, the cash begins to come in, from supported posts, paid advertisements, or your own items.

Things are going incredible.

And afterward you incidentally disregard your free web supplier's Terms of Service (see all restrictions for Blogger.com and WordPress.com) and your whole online business is unavoidably lost to the waste receptacle of the interwebs.
