4 Steps to Create a Free Blog and Website With Google
Want a blog or website but have no budget? Learn how to create a free blog and website with Google in four steps, from a Gmail account to a polished look.
Google is no longer just a search engine. You can use it to send messages through Gmail, join social networks such as Google+, and do plenty more. Blogs and websites can now be linked straight to your Gmail account too, which makes the whole process simpler. A blog or website is one of the most effective online promotion tools, for anyone who wants to have one.
How to create a blog and website:
Have a Gmail Account
The first step in creating a blog and website is to make sure you already have a Gmail account. If you do not have a Gmail account yet, create one first by filling in your personal details and entering a phone number that is still active.

Go to Blogger
Next, head to Blogger and sign in with the Gmail account you already have. Then create a new blog around the theme you want. The theme or topic matters a great deal for the long-term survival of your blog: even with plenty of published content, 70% of blogs get only 5,000 visitors a month. One of the causes is an unclear topic. Choose a topic that appeals to many people.
Create a New Blog
On the left side, click the downward arrow symbol and choose new blog. On the first page you need to fill in the blog title and the blog address. Pick an address that is easy to remember and, of course, not already taken by someone else. If another person has used it, that address is not available. Choose the template you want as well.
Give It a Professional Look
To make your blog stand out, give it a more professional appearance. Look for a template that fits your blog's topic, download it, and then add it to your blog. Choose the file with the .xml extension, then upload it by selecting the theme option, going to the backup/restore section, and uploading the file. Your blog now looks like a professional website, the kind that is usually hosted.
There are several free blog and website providers, such as WordPress and others, but the best-known today are the products offered by Google. Those are some of the ways you can create a blog and website. We hope this information is useful.
