There’s a wealth of blogging information available on the internet that you can learn for free which can take time, however, you will still have to pay for hosting and maybe a new theme or a plugin later on if you want to.
There are plenty of free themes you can use in the meantime that are great to use when starting out.
If you’re looking to do everything totally free it’s just not possible, especially if you want to blog professionally and make money out of it.
When I first started my blog, I installed a free theme. As time went on I wanted it to look better and have more features, so, once I started making an income from my blog, I went ahead and bought another.
I also invested in Tailwind for scheduling my pins to Pinterest which is one of the best ways to bring traffic to your blog.
Pinterest is actually a visual search engine and helps bring traffic to my blog which results in regular sales from my blog for dogs in my Amazon affiliate shop.
There are blogging tools that you will need, many have free versions, then you can upgrade to the paid options as you grow.
Canva is a tool I use daily to create pins and images for my blogs, it does have a free version although I have now upgraded to the pro version as my blogging business has grown.
I’ve spent years learning different ways of earning online and blogging using WordPress is my absolute favourite, it’s helped me to create a second income.
Learning never stops with blogging, there will always be something new to absorb whether it be a new plugin, an update, which policies to use, rules and regulations etc.
When first thinking of starting a blog it can be difficult to know where to start. If you’d like to know the answers and have some guidance, rather than trying to find out all the information yourself, you may wish to purchase a course to help speed up the process to get you on your way.
