2. Choosing the platform for your blogs
After you are done with deciding your niche, what comes next is your decision of platform on which you would be running your blogs. Well, here's two best options to decide from that's economical and suitable with handsome features.
a. Wordpress
Wordpress is a website that can provide you a good platform for writing and publishing your blogs. It has variety of themes to choose from and has a good user interface. It's one of the most popular blogging site trending these days. Wordpress can also provide a free domain name if you are not willing to buy a custom domain name.
The free domain name that you get from wordpress looks like xyz.wordpress.com. Moreover, SEO plugin is also available on the platform if you want to create an SEO optimised content on wordpress. However, you need to install that SEO feature on your wordpress account. But you may need to buy the hosting if you choose wordpress.
b. Blogger
Blogger is another option available for the bloggers that though isn't very popular like wordpress but is often the first choice of the bloggers. Blogger is a product of Google and hence if you are using it then you don't need to buy the hosting. Though it may not give a lot of themes like wordpress but is quite a good platform for the bloggers as even it gives you a free domain which looks like xyz.blogspot.com.
However, hostinger.in and bluehost.in too gives you a free domain name but with a paid hosting.

For example for my blogging related site I chose the domain name mypassionateblogger.blogspot.com. Since, it's a free domain name from Blogger hence it has blogspot.com in the end of the domain name.
