Before you start your blogging career you have to make sure a couple things which are:

Niche/ Topic:
When you start your blog you have to consider its topic first, otherwise, you are going to leave blogging in a couple of days. The blogging industry is so vast. You just have to make sure that which type of blog posts you love to write and learn. There are numerous niches and topics on which you can write your blog posts. In which the most famous niches are "Beauty, Sports, Technology and many more". Every niche has its sub-niches as if you are going to write on sports, then you have to select which specific sports you will cover.
What is a blog?
A blog is a website that updates regularly, which means that there are new data{Articles/Blog posts} are coming on a regular basis. It is basically the abbreviation of weblog and it was started in 1990. Nowadays people use to read blogs for the perspective of learning something new.
Can I start a blog for free?
If you want to start your blog for free then the answer is, yes you can start your blog with 0 investment. In this case, you have to work hard on it because domains without TLD are difficult to rank on google's top search results but it's not impossible to earn money from it.
What do I need to start a blog?
You don't need anything special to start a blog. You just need a Computer/ Mobile with an internet connection and you should know how to write English.
Start your Blog for free Today:
After deciding your niche you need to create your blog. There is only one best way for creating a blog is a blogger. You just have to sign up for blogspot.com with your Google account and click on create your blog. Then you have to choose your own domain name which will be a subdomain with blogspot.com.
Domain Name:
A domain name is the address of your blog site which you will use to search it on google.com or any type of search engine. Search Engines will consider this address to rank your blog. After you click on Create a blog you have to choose your Blog's title and then the domain name. Choose your desired domain name if it's available by typing into the text field.
You can buy domains from Godaddy and Hostgator because these two sites are the most famous ones for the buying and selling of cheap Domain names.
Here you can see I choose my blog's title "Example Blog".
And the Blog's address is faizanaliexampleblog.blogspot.com.
Now let's talk about premium domain names. If you want to rank higher on google you will need a domain name with TLDs. I am not going to confuse you about TLD or by talking about something which a layman can't understand. The subdomains like blogspot.com work less than the premium domains like .com, .in, .co, or any other TLD domain.
Is free domain works?
Yes, free domains also work. For this, you have to do more work hard because with free domains first, you have to increase your trust rate for search engines. If you are writing unique content then it will be easy for you to earn online without investment.When I started blogging I was using .blogspot subdomains and as I come to know about new things in blogging I upgraded my blogs by the passage of time.
I recommend you to use premium domain names instead of free domains it will cost you less than 10$ for the first year.
Hosting:
In Blogspot you don't need any hosting, google will host your blog on the internet for free. But google will take 30% of your earnings when you will start earning from it. If you want to start your blog for free then you can use Blogspot because there is no downtime in it. Afterward when you will start earning and wanted to customize your blog then you can move from Blogspot to premium hosting like WordPress hosting, or other servers.
With Blogspot.com you no longer need to pay for the hosting.
Can I host a Free WordPress blog?
Yes, you can get free hosting and install WordPress software on it. In my opinion, free hosting doesn't work well as compare to a blogger because you don't know when the server will go down and your site will become offline. This kind of thing usually happens in free hosting.
Can I create a free blog from Weebly?
Yes, you can create a free blog on Weebly, but after some time you have to pay for hosting, and also you have to purchase your own domain name. Weebly owns a beautiful collection of themes that you can use for your blogs.
Theme Customization:
After you have created a blog you have to choose a theme that will be a perfect fit for your niche. I will recommend you to use free blogger themes when you are a beginner.
For this Gooyabitemplates is the best website for you to download free blogger templates. Here you will find hundreds of thousand themes from here. When you are going to select your theme you should consider 2 things. One is the page loading speed which doesn't matter at the start and the second one of its design. You should make sure that it will work with your niche or not.
Then you have to upload it on blogger by going to theme > Upload Theme {It will be on the top right corner}.

Writing Blog Posts:
Now, you have done almost everything, and now its time to work on your blog. People often ask me about how many articles should they post in a week. My answer is as many posts you can write but you have to be consistent in posting your articles. Consistency is the key to success for online jobs.
How many words an article should consist of?
The answer to this question is quite technical. The number of words should depend on how much difficult keyword you are going to write. There are some keywords on which you can rank with just 500 - 700 words. In my opinion, your blog posts should be 500+ words for better rankings.
Promotion:
After you have posted your precious article you have to promote it on social media sites. You just have to copy the link of your article and post it on social media sites with some description. Promoting your content can increase your google rankings also because if you get social media clicks it will tell search engines that your content is amazing and they are enjoying it.
