There are 3 Ways You Can Use to Create your Blog Online:

  • Easy to use.
  • Start a website in few minutes.
  • No coding knowledge required.
  • Customer support included.

They also have some cons, including:

  • Limited control & customization.
  • More expensive.

Free Blog Builders.

There are some free platforms who give you the right to start your blog for free, for Example Blogger.com or WordPress.com. You can also use these free website builders to create some blogs. However, they aren’t recommended because:

  • Low to no monetizing at all.
  • Limited customization, content, options…etc.
  • High authority from the provider.
  • Yourblogname.blogplatform.com URL on free ones.
  • Having ads from the platform on your blog (and you can’t remove them unless if you pay for a premium plan).
  • You might lose your blog if you violate the platform’s terms & service.
