Blogspot For Beginners

Reason to avoid Wordpress as a beginner

 The big confusion for every blogger is which blogging platform he should use for his blog.There are tons of articles regarding blogging platform.

Most of them say Wordpress is best.I to agree with them.But the only problem with Wordpress is it is a self-hosted platform.so we have to pay for it.

As a beginner, we don't want to inverse in their blog.I have seen many students like me started their blogging in their college days.So we don't have money to inverse on our blog.

Blogspot doesn't require any kind of tech knowledge and it is easy to use whereas, Wordpress require some basic tech knowledge and you may find difficult to customize it as a beginner.

Before investing we have to learn to blog from a very bottom level.When I started blogging I don't even know about SEO, about keywords etc.Now I little bit of it.

I failed three times and this time I came with a new idea and learned a lot of things about blogging.What if I started my blogging career with Wordpress and failed three times, it will be a great loss to me and I never dare to start a blog again.If the same we did with Blogspot there is no loss for us and we can experiment new things without fearing the loss, in Blogspot platform.This is the reason why I recommend you to start with Blogspot.
