Once you have determined your blogging niche and created a strategy, it’s time to setup your blog and social media accounts. The first question every aspiring blogger has is, “Where do I set up my blog?”

There are lots of different platforms out there such as WordPress, Blogger, Square Space, and many others. At BlogPaws we always recommend setting up a self-hosted WordPress.org blog as an industry standard. That said, all of the information in this course will be based on that.

Quick Tip

WordPress.com is not the same as a WordPress.org self-hosted site. WordPress.com is not self-hosted and is limited in the functionality it provides as it’s the free version of WordPress.
