Want to Create your own Blog?
You are here that's means you want to Create your own Blog. Lets first talk about What is A Blog?
What is Blog???🤔🤔 A Blog is a website at which you can express your talent or thoughts or give some kind of information etc to public, In simple words it is a type of platform where you can do any thing. In less then a months you can able to share or express your thoughts with hundreds or thousands readers. Blog is defined as "A blog is a frequently updated online personal journal or diary. It is a place to express yourself to the world. A place to share your thoughts and your passions. Really, it’s anything you want it to be. For our purposes we’ll say that a blog is your own website that you are going to update on an ongoing basis. Blog is a short form for the word weblog and the two words are used interchangeably"
Here are some more definition-
“…the first journalistic model that actually harnesses rather than merely exploits the true democratic nature of the web. It’s a new medium finally finding a unique voice.”–Andrew Sullivan
"collection of posts…short, informal, sometimes controversial, and sometimes deeply personal…with the freshest information at the top.”–Meg Hourihan
Why do people blog???🤔🤔
So you may be asking why anyone would want to have their own blog. We believe the answer lies in the fact that every human has a voice and wishes their voice to be heard. The Internet is a medium that is unparalleled in its reach. Never before have average people like you or me been able to reach a global audience with so little trouble. Bloggers have the opportunity of reaching hundreds or even thousands of people each and every day.
There are still many people who like to share the details of their days. They may post twenty or thirty times a day, detailing when they ate lunch and when they headed home from work. On the other hand there are bloggers who give almost no detail about their lives, but write instead about a hobby or interest of theirs. They may dedicate their blog to something they are passionate about.
In fact, today’s blogs can provide hair tips, up-to-date news, technical information, celebrity scandal, political rumor, gets people involved in volunteering, advice on investments as well as there being blogs aboutniche topics like cooking, health, gardening, sport, blogging blogs (this blog) and of course many personal blogs and quite a few strange blogs.

How to Create a Blog Step by Step
- Which platform your going to use?
Before worrying about how your blog going to look like, you have to select on which platform you are going to Create a Blog.
Platform which as price.
This all are platform on which you can create your blog. As you can see in the picture 52% of blogger are using WordPress so it's simply WordPress is the most popular one and 72 million of blog are using it. This all has a price.
Platform which is free.
Mostly all platforms provide free service with some limitations, to get rid of that limitations one must invest. For eg:- domain.. free domains provided by platforms contain their signature name which is blogspot for blogger. So, paying and going self-host can unlock any features and u can possibly choose the perfect theme or setup for your blog without limits.
Difference between the paid platform & free.
-On paid platform you can set your own website name for eg: www.beingversatilebv.com
-On free platform you cannot set your own website name for eg: www.beingversatilebv.blogspot.in
As on free one there are many limitations. So, If you want to make a blog then try to spend little and do self-host on WordPress or other. If you not want to spend money then try it on free one and after a couple of months you can shift to WordPress or other domain.

Domain name- This will be your blog address from that address people will visit your blog over and over again. For eg: www.yourblogname.com in that instead of yourblogname you can add any name that you want. Cost of the domain name will be at least 1000/12 month.
Web hosting- web host is a home of your blog address and content you have written. Without web hosting you cannot use your domain. The cost of web hosting will be 100 to 400/ month.
