It&#8217;s a herculean task to rank in Google on any specific keyword with a free blog.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Drawback #5.<\/span> The most important one is you are not the owner of the blog when you start your blog on the free platform. You can&#8217;t sell your blog since you are not the owner. Apart from that, there is an inherent risk of shutting down your blog if Blogger or WordPress finds that it violates its terms and conditions or policy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #0000ff;\">The Benefits of starting a blog on a self-hosted blogging platform<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">Contrary to the free platforms i.e. Blogger, WordPress.com, Medium, Wix, etc. here are the top 3 reasons why we recommend you to start your blog on self-hosted blogging platform i.e. WordPress.org,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">#1.<\/span> You can customize your blog and build a stunning landing page that looks professional to enhance the first impression and trust.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">#2.<\/span> You can install useful plugins namely Updraftplus to backup your site to a remote location.

Let me guide you to kick start. Just head over to Blogger.com or WordPress.com and create your blog by entering your email. After that, you need to choose a domain name. A prefix i.e. \u2018.wordpress\u2019 or \u2018.blogspot\u2019 will be added after the domain name. If you want to start a blog on free platforms, I recommend you to buy a custom domain name from <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kqzyfj.com\/click-100299063-13266668\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Namecheap<\/a> <\/span>since it costs $8.88 a year. After entering a domain name you need to choose a theme to design your blog.

ICANN allows Domain name registrars to sell, transfer, renewal of domain names.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">Before buying of a domain name here are the 5 points to consider,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">#1.<\/span> Always buy a \u2018dot com\u2019 domain extension.

Once found notify the webmaster and offer a blog post to replace the broken link.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Strategy #3.<\/span> Try Help a Reporter Out to get quality backlinks from authoritative sites being a source.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Strategy #4.<\/span> Monitor from where your competitors acquire backlinks. Go to SemRush and analyze from where your competitor\u2019s links are coming. Find out by applying what tactics they are getting quality backlinks. If you find that they gain backlinks via a guest post, write a compelling guest post and earn a backlink from the same website.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">Read also:<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/backlinko.com\/link-building-strategies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Link Building Strategies: The Complete List<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #0000ff;\">Step #6.\u00a0Start promoting your blog from the first day,<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">Here are the top 10 blog promotion tactics you can apply to promote your blog,<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #0000ff;\">Strategy #1. Include simple social sharing buttons,<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">By installing Social Snap you should place the social share buttons not only above\/below the post content but also on images that help your audience to share your content in social media with ease.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #0000ff;\">Strategy #2. Promote your blog at Facebook<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">You can create your own Facebook group but this is a time-consuming process to reach a significant number of members. You can join relevant Facebook groups to promote your blog post.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #0000ff;\">Strategy #3. Promote your blog at Twitter,<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">To promote a blog post you should tweet at least 10 times a day. Use proper hashtags and twitter cards to reach a broader audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #0000ff;\">Strategy #4. Promote your blog via bookmarking sites,<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">You should join Quora, Reddit, Yahoo Answers! to leverage the audience. Search the relevant queries in these social bookmarking sites. Once found give the best resources from your blog and place a link. This will drastically increase your blog traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #0000ff;\">Strategy #5. Blogger&#8217;s outreach<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">This is my favourite technique to boost the site&#8217;s traffic. You can approach the famous blogger in your niche for guest blogging, or content partnerships. Before sending a personalized email you should share their content in social media tagging them to come to their radar. This is a time-consuming process. But let me tell you this will yield fruitful returns in the long run. Once you engage with the influencers, they will definitely share your blog post with their audience if found helpful.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #0000ff;\">Strategy #6. Start promoting your blog post via email marketing<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">The best way to retain organic traffic is to make visitors into email subscribers. After you have large email subscribers notify them about your new blog post at the best plausible time. Needless to say, the best time to send an email to your subscribers is about 10 AM in India. You can include the email signature inserting your blog link to help a reader to visit your blog directly from an email. To boost social share you must add a social share button in the email that enables a user to share your content directly from the email.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Strategy #7.<\/span> Start promoting your blog post via web push notifications,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Strategy #8.<\/span> Submit Guest posts with niche blogs to attract traffic,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Strategy #9.<\/span> Transform a blog post into a stunning YouTube video and upload it in YouTube,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Strategy #10.<\/span> After making an authoritative blog you must join webinars and events as a guest speaker.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #0000ff;\">Step #4.
