Having said that, here’s how to act, in practice, with some of the most used tools to create free blogs on the Internet.
How to create a free blog on WordPress
The most popular tool for publishing blogs on the Net is WordPress , an open source platform that, relying on servers, allows the creation of Internet sites that are easy to manage and update: with these premises, I think it is useful to immediately understand how to create a blog free on WordPress .
I’ll start by telling you that WordPress defines itself as a CMS , an acronym that stands for Content Management System and refers to Web tools designed to allow any user to set up and customize an Internet site, a blog or even an e-commerce , without the need for know programming languages. In this regard, if you want to learn more, read my guide to the best CMS .
To give shape to your blog and customize it from a graphic and functional point of view, CMS like WordPress allow you to download themes and plugins , to be connected to the platform to make it suitable for your expressive needs.
That said, WordPress allows the user to act in two ways: create a blog completely free , but with limitations , or buy an online space , including a domain and hosting , to be “modeled” at will and without the above limitations.
If you want to know how to create a free blog with WordPress , first of all keep in mind that in this case you will get a third level domain (eg.
https://nomesito.wordpress.com) And a storage space of 3 GB, that you will not have many graphic themes available, you will not be able to install plugins to increase the functions of the blog and you will not be able to insert banners or use advertising tools, which, as you will see later, are the ones that allow you to make money. However, essential functions ( Jetpack ) and the pre-installed SSL certificate for safe browsing will be guaranteed .
Having clarified all this, you can connect to the official WordPress site and go to the menu located at the top of the page, then click on the Products item and, in the drop-down menu that will open, select the Blog item .
Then scroll the page that is proposed to you and read the information inside, then click on the Choose free button if, in fact, your intention is to open a blog at no cost.
Now fill out the form with the required data, on the following page and press the Create an account button , or choose the Continue with Google button , to log in with your Google account , or the Continue button on Apple , if you use the devices of this brand and you have an Apple ID . Now continue the configuration by following the instructions on the monitor and helping you by reading my guides on how to create a blog with WordPress and how to manage a WordPress blog .
However, you may also have the desire to create a blog with advanced functions and which allows you, in some way, to obtain financial income. To do this, consult and join one of the paid WordPress plans (available at this link ): starting from € 4 per month , but with annual withdrawal, they allow you to have your own top-level custom domain as the site address, greater storage space, removal of WordPress advertisements, up to the ability to choose and install dozens of different graphic themes, as well as powerful plugins and use marketing and advertising tools such as WordAds and Google Analytics .

How to create a free blog on Google
The most well-known and used search engine in the world, that is Google , could not stand by without generating its own tool for publishing blogs, and in fact it created the Blogger platform , which is not as widespread and flexible as WordPress, does not can install on external hosting but has the advantage of being free but at the same time supporting the monetization of content through the Google Adsense platform , which allows you to earn with the contents of your blog by displaying advertising banners inside it. You can also promote the paid site through Google Ads .

Alternatively, connected directly to the official Blogger website or download the service app for Android smartphones and tablets and select the item Create your Blog , then, on the following page, choose the wording Create an account . Now, to register with Google, follow the instructions on the screen. If, on the other hand, you already have a profile, enter the required data and click on the Next button .
At this point, click on the Continue button and go to Blogger , then select the New blog button , to start customizing your online space.
