The answer may not be perfect. It varies from person to person. Some want to make money through blogging, for fame, make a brand, share their own thoughts, and much more. The passion for blogging is increasing day by day.
In this tutorial, I’m going to tell you about how you can do Blogging for Free (completely free, no penny needed).
Here, I want to suggest that instead of creating a free blog on Blogspot go for your own domain and hosting (paid). Create your own blog in WordPress(.org) because 27% of the websites are in this world powered by WordPress.

The free Blogspot platform is for everyone. This feature is provided by Google.
However, many Newbies and College Students who want to start blogging as a career don’t want to make an initial investment of funds for creating a blog. It makes sense.
There are lots of blogging platforms available to create free blogs. If you are looking for a simple and nice-looking free blog, my suggestion would be to start blogging with BlogSpot.com by Google and I also tell you how to use blogger.
Once you gain a lot of experience in blogging then definitely you can move into a self-hosted WordPress Blog.
