How to Start a Blog in 5 Steps:
There are five main steps you need to do in order to start a blog.
1) Choose a great blog platform
You need to decide whether to pay for your blog or grab a free one. Wordpress is the biggest blogging platforms in the world, with countless plugins and add-ons and almost infinite ways to design and layout your blog.
WordPress, Tumblr, and Blogger all offer free blogs for anyone.

On a free blog, your blog’s web address. In short, create a free blog with any other the above free blog services and it’ll look like this:
yourblog.wordpress.com
yourblog.blogspot.com
yourblog.tumblr.com
On the other hand, with a self-hosted blog on your own domain name – you are the REAL owner of your blog. You’ll be able to name your blog whatever you want, for example, “YourName.com” or “YouBlog.com. You can end it with .com, .co.uk, .net, .org, or virtually any other web suffix. Add to that unlimited bandwidth for videos, images, and content plus the free themes.

You’ll need to come up with a domain name you like and also choose a hosting company that can host your blog.
Domain: The domain is basically the URL of your website. Examples: google.com (Google.com is the domain), Facebook.com (Facebook.com is the domain).
Hosting: Hosting is basically the company that puts your website up on the internet so everyone else can see it. Everything will be saved on there. Think of it as a computer hard-drive on the internet where your blog will be saved.
4) Design your new blog
Now you have to design your own blog by setting theme which is available there or you can get some free templates from other websites. After that you have to customize the setting and make sure of good SEO (search engine optimization) setting.
