What is a blog?

A blog is a “weblog” that you create online using a hosting service and a website platform. A blog is something that you can write in everyday if you wish and you get to share your knowledge about topics that you love with other people on the internet.

When you create a blog you want to pick one niche to focus on. Choose a niche that you know well and can write about it often. This could be any topic such as a hobby you love or maybe something that involves your day to day work.

How do you make a blog?

To create a blog online you will need to make a website. First, you need to pick a hosting service to host your website. I use Bluehost for my website.

Then, you will need to a website platform to create your posts for your website. I use WordPress to create my posts.

Once you have those two things set up you can start creating blogs and start publishing them on the internet and sharing them on social media too.

There are a few ways bloggers make money with their blogs. I will leave a list here and explain how they make money with each one.
