Before cyberspace flourished, publishing literary pieces or any article were limited to so-called professional writers. For millions of strangers to read your work, you either had to be a journalist or a novelist.
Well, those days are over.
As the worldwide web continued to expand over the years, the world discovered that the talent for words is not limited to people who chose to make it a profession. As a matter of fact, there are some whose writing talents were unintentionally uncovered through the web which led them to even farther horizons.
Blogging is an internet phenomenon that has made all this possible by providing people the opportunity to publish their work for the entire world to read at no expense. Yes, a free lunch is indeed possible in the blogosphere.
There are several blogging websites that offer free space for budding writers to showcase their talent, with practically zero cash-out. And contrary to popular belief, you don’t even have to be a good writer to have your own blog. So let’s get down to business and find out more about these free blogging platforms.
Spunky free blogging sites to consider
Among the popular and best free blogging platform is Blogger.com from Google where each blogger account gets a separate subdomain for a blog with customizable templates available. Though it is not as customizable as WordPress, it works for those who want more freedom with their publications.
WordPress.com, on the other hand, also hosts blogs for free, but implements stricter rules with blog posts. WordPress is also considered the most widely-used platform in blogging, even by bloggers who pay for their own domains because of its user-friendly backend panel called the WordPress Dashboard.
What is even greater is the thousands of free wordpress blog themes, wordpress plugins and tools integrated by third party developers.
Another free blog host gaining popularity is Blog.com which has become the refuge of bloggers disgruntled by the free service offered by WordPress. Blog.com uses the WordPress platform and similarly provides subdomains for its bloggers, but with more liberal rules.
There are still several free blog hosts out there for those who want a platform to publish their works, thoughts or opinions, but these three by far are the most sought-after.
Whatever the purpose you intend for your blog, whether it be for a simple online journal, your own personal news room, photo album (also known as photoblog), an authority site on specific subjects/topics, or even niche marketing or promotional blogsite, you can find a home for it on the web without spending a dime.
Just remember that since these services are free, there is no liability on the blogging site should anything go wrong with your blog so please make it a habit to regularly back-up of your blog.
Finally, now you know where to get your zero cash-out blog, I encourage you to start a simple personal blog project to immerse you to the world that we call the blogosphere.
