How to Create a Blog on a Low Cost

[Mika]

You can create a blog for free but when you are running a free blog you will have difficulty in getting ranked on search engines, building traffic, monetizing the blog, and generating revenue.

Creating a self-hosted blog cost money, you need money for the domain and hosting. However, there are ways to launch a blog for a low cost.

Register a domain (it cost less than $8 for a dot com) and create a blogger account, and then map your domain with your blogger account. By doing this you will be using blogger’s hosting platform to launch a blog with a custom domain.

There are also hosting companies that offer free domain if you buy their hosting plan. For instance, by paying around $35 for a shared hosting plan for iPage, you get a domain for free.

If you still cannot buy a domain, your dream of creating a website does not end. You can use a free domain and free hosting.

I don't think it costs a lot of money to create a blog. You can get a domain for less than $10 and you can get a hosting for arounbd $1 per month, which means you can easily create a blog under $25. Well, this is not a big amount if you really want to start a blog. Even if you don't have money, you can work on a site like this one and make that money in just one month. The most difficult part of creating a blog is not the domain and hosting but the content. If you are not well versed with SEO content, you will have to hire writers or someone to do SEO, which can add your expenses. You can try creating news blog. You don’t even need to write content for a news blog .You can just source your content from other media companies through RSS feed.
