How to Start a Blog? | A Guide for Beginners


Every writer at one point thinks of starting his own blog, but many a time stops at the initial phase itself with the question, ‘how to start a blog?’ I believe it’s the most confusing question, as there are many answers available on the web, but all of them suggest something different!

So, here’s my short and crisp guide for beginners to follow. Steps to start a blog:

#1: Choosing what website to start a blog on?


Select your preferred blogging website. If you ask me which site is best to start a blog? I would say going for WordPress is probably the safest choice. It is one of the biggest platforms for bloggers across the world.

You can try other alternatives like, Blogger, and Tumblr as well to see if it suits you.

#2: Is it free to start a blog?


Yes, all these platforms offer you to start a blog for free. Being said that, you must know that there are massive disadvantages to free blog posts. If you don’t own a domain name (pay for it), then the free domain name you get is not appealing, your access to themes is limited, and you don’t actually own your blogs!

I would suggest if you are super serious, then buy a web hosting for your blogs.

#3: Choose the theme and decide what to start a blog about?


Once you are sure about the above criteria then begin by designing your webpage. And then choose the topic and heading of your blog that attracts the majority.

Finally, start your journey of writing with a free mind!
