Want to launch your own blog and earn online — without spending a single dollar on hosting or domain names?
Good news: Google’s Blogger platform lets you do exactly that, for free.
Whether you're a beginner or just want a no-fuss blogging setup, Blogger is one of the fastest ways to start — and it only takes about 2 minutes.
In this in-depth, expert-level tutorial, I’ll show you exactly how to set up your Blogger account, choose your blog name, and get ready to publish content — even from your phone.
Let’s dive in. 💻📲
🔍 Why Choose Blogger?
Blogger (also known as Blogspot) is a free blogging platform owned by Google. It offers:
- ✅ Free hosting
- ✅ Free subdomain (yourblog.blogspot.com)
- ✅ Built-in Google integration (Analytics, AdSense, Search Console)
- ✅ Simple drag-and-drop customization
- ✅ Perfect for beginners
💡 Unlike WordPress.org, Blogger does not require you to buy hosting or set up a domain to start. It's ready out of the box.
🚀 Step-by-Step: Create Your Blogger Account (In 2 Minutes)
✅ Step 1: Visit Blogger and Sign In
Go to 👉 www.blogger.com
Click the orange “Create Your Blog” button.
Sign in using your Gmail or Google account. If you don’t have one, create a new Google account first.
✅ Step 2: Choose Your Display Name
After signing in, Blogger will prompt you to choose a Display Name.
This is the name that will appear as the author on all your blog posts.
📝 You can change this later under
Settings > User Profile.
✅ Step 3: Set Your Blog Title and URL
You’ll now see a form to create your blog:
- Blog Title: This is your blog’s name (e.g., "My Tech Diary", "Fitness with Sarah").
- Blog Address: Choose your blog’s URL — for example:
myfitnessblog.blogspot.com
Blogger will confirm if your chosen address is available.
💡 Make sure your domain is easy to type, short, and relevant to your niche.
Click Next, then confirm your blog title — and you're done!
Your blog is now live at yourblogname.blogspot.com.
🛠️ Customizing Your Blog (Optional but Recommended)
Now that your blog is live, take a few minutes to make it yours:
🎨 Change Your Theme
- Go to:
Dashboard > Theme - Choose from dozens of free, responsive templates
- Preview and apply with a single click
📋 Add Important Pages
- Create an “About Me” and “Contact” page
- Navigate to:
Pages > New Page
🏷️ Organize Your Content
- Use labels (categories) to group blog posts
- Add them while writing under “Labels”
📝 Start Writing Your First Blog Post
To publish your first post:
- Click
New Post - Give it a compelling title
- Write your content in the editor
- Use headings, bullet lists, and images
- Hit “Publish” when you're ready
✍️ Aim to write 3–5 quality posts before applying for monetization.
💰 How to Monetize Your Blogger Site
Once your blog is active and has useful content, you can:
- Apply for Google AdSense directly from the Blogger dashboard
- Promote affiliate products (Amazon, Digistore, etc.)
- Offer digital products or services
📈 Blogger integrates with AdSense easily, but quality content is key to approval.
📌 Tips for a Successful Blogger Site

🔍 SEO + Digital Growth Angle
Blogger’s integration with Google tools like Search Console, Analytics, and AdSense gives you an edge when growing your site. Even with a free .blogspot.com domain, you can rank on search engines, build authority, and eventually upgrade to a custom domain.
