12 Things You Need to Know Before You Even Start a Blog

Are you considering to start a blog? Blogging is a magnificent thing to get involved in and can prompt a wide range of awesome opportunities. But before you start making your own blog, it's highly recommended that you take a step back and take into consideration a couple of vital things.

Okay so starting a blog is really simple, yet taking care of this business is significantly more troublesome and there are numerous choices to make en route. Here are 12 things you Need to Know Before You Even Start a Blog:

1. Self-Hosted WordPress Blog

So You may be wondering what will be the best option for starting a blog. Whether to create a WordPress blog or to consider a platform like Blogger? How about something like Tumblr or Wix?

Well, personally, in my opinion, a self-hosted WordPress blog is by far and away the best option.

Here are a few reasons why I recommend it the most:

Firstly, a self-hosted WordPress blog is completely owned by you. You are the solely whole owner and have control over everything that you do. There are millions of free as well as paid themes and plugins for WordPress, and it's also great to know that nobody can come along one day and take down your blog because it 'breaks' some sort of rule. That's a big drawback to many of the other platforms!

Once WordPress installation is complete (it's free and most of the hosts let you install it with just a couple of clicks), you can essentially do whatever you want. You'll need to spend a small amount of money on hosting and buy a domain name for your blog, but these can be purchased on pretty much discounted prices.
