How to Create a Blog Website for Free in 2019
Are you thinking of starting your very first blog but you want to try the art of blogging out, before investing any money in it?
Would you like to write about your passions and make money online at the same time?
Creating your own blog is not as complicated as it used to be. No coding is required and your blog can be up and running in just a few clicks!
In this short guide, I will teach you how to create a blog website for free in 2019 and make money writing :)
The 2 things you need to start blogging
Firstly, let's look at the basic things you need to get started:
- A Niche you are passionate about
- Wealthy Affiliate
Let me elaborate...
A Nice you are passionate about:
Imagine trying to set up and monetise a Blog where you constantly have to write about topics you have no interest in.
Do you think you would stick to it? Do you think you could commit long term?
Most of us already spend the majority of time doing a job they don't particularly like and having to come home and getting on with something you dislike will just add to the stress!
Any niche can make a good blog and can eventually lead you to make money, so follow your heart and go with your true passion :)
Wealthy Affiliate:
This fantastic platform allows you to build your website, host it and get a domain all in one place.
On top of that, even with the FREE membership, you will be able to get access to module one of the "Online Entrepreneur Certification", which will guide you through setting up your website.
Everything is laid out step by step and has video walkthroughs!
You don't need to be tech-savvy to be able to set up your own website.
Wealthy Affiliate has literally taught thousands of people from different backgrounds how to set up a blog and monetise it :)

Writing quality content
A blog without content will never get you far.
Writing good engaging content is important to be able to get your website to rank in Google and attract visitors.
The good thing about Wealthy Affiliate is that they offer a fantastic site content manager tool, which allows you to do the following:
- Knowing when you have reached at least 1000 words (minimum length of a blog post)
- Ensuring you are laying out the content nicely, by using short paragraphs and multiple headings
- Checking for spelling mistakes
Are there any rules when it comes to writing content for your blog?
Yes and I will list some here for you:
- Write at least 1000 words. The more words, the better as each word will act as a keyword that could get your site to rank in Google
- Make your posts easy to read and understand, e.g. short paragraphs, no big words, etc
- Use long-tail low competition keywords to increase your chances of getting your new website to rank in Google
All of this and much more is covered in the Wealthy Affiliate training for premium members, hence why I recommend you upgrade and get the most of it :)
