Before understanding how to create a blog for free and earn money online you should understand first whether you are passionate about writing on any particular topic i.e called niche because at a certain time you will give up. Starting anything is very easy rather and being consistent is very important.
Blogging is a career in which you have to keep patience as well as consistency. Unless you give some time to blogging, you will not succeed in this field. If you study the most successful blogger you will find they have spent at least 2-3 years and maybe more.
I’ll never recommend it to anyone who wants to start blogging after having resigned from his/her job or business and going to start blogging as a full-time carrier. However, he/she can start blogging along with his/her job and business. Utilize your uptime and holidays in blog writing working this will be productive and quality time. After some time, if you feel that your income can now bear your expenses, then you can start full-fledged blogging.
Now come to the topic “how to start a blog for free on google and earn money?”
I’ll discuss this topic in the following steps wise as given below:
1. Choose your blogging niche
First of all, you need to think of a unique idea i.e bog niche, which is very important for a blogging journey. You must be very serious and confident about your niche because your blogging niche will decide your success.
I’ll recommend choosing a single or micro-niche, that you are passionate about and you love very much because no doubt blogging is very competitive nowadays.
2. Buy a domain for your blog
The next step is to buy an affordable domain from any domain provider like GoDaddy, BigRock, NameCheap etc. but it should be of a single or two later domains, also it is recommended that if the domain exists in your niche or keyword then it will be impressive.
However, you can also go for a free domain name available on blogger.
But from the long-term perspective paid domain is better than a free domain.
3. Creating an account on Blogger
Now the time is to create an account on blogger.com, simply log into blogger with your existing Gmail id or by creating a new one.
Choose a custom domain name for your blog available on blogger.
4. Set a theme for your blog
There are lots of free template themes available on blogger which you can choose as per your choice. It should be kept in mind that a simple theme is more impressive in the views of the audience. A simple theme attracts an audience to retain your blog.
Then now upload a unique logo for your blog which you have created, if you have not created then you can also create your unique logo through many tools available on websites like Canva etc. however you can also ask to create your logo through any professional.
5. Customize your theme
Now after installing your theme on blogger you can customize your theme as per your requirement like font colour, body colour, navigation bar colour, font size, header colour etc.

However there are some drawbacks in blogger platforms for example you can not customize your theme as per your requirement, you can customize only a fixed preset provided.
