There is a reason why over 43% of all websites use WordPress.\n\nWhile WordPress itself is free, you still need a domain name and web hosting, both of which cost money. A domain is your website's name on the internet (i.e. wpbeginner.com), and web hosting is where your files are stored.\n\nSome blogging platforms like Blogger or Medium will give you free hosting, but they put advertisements on your site, which isn't ideal.\n\nThis is why I recommend making a small investment of $1.99 per month to fully host own your blog by using WordPress in Bluehost.\n\nYou may also want to see my guide on why WordPress is free and what the catch is."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What platforms do most bloggers use?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"According to my blogging research data, most bloggers use WordPress to create their blog and it powers over 43% of all websites on the internet.\n\nPeople publish over 70 million new blog posts on WordPress every month.\n\nYou may also find my history of blogging article helpful to better understand how various blogging platforms evolved."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How can I make my blog popular?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"In my experience, the best way to make your blog popular and grow your audience is by creating high-quality content and promoting it on social media platforms. You need to understand the problems your target audience is having and then help them solve them.\n\nI have also created the ultimate guide on how to increase your blog traffic with 27 proven tips that you should check out."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which blog topic is the best for earning money?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"You can make money with just about every blog topic as long as you have an audience, but there are several blogging niches that are more successful than others. The top blog topics include health & fitness, personal finance, fashion, lifestyle, business & marketing, and travel.\n\nFor a full list, see my best blogging niche guide as well as these proven tips to monetize your blog."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is the best time to publish a blog post?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"According to research and studies, the best time to publish a blog post for maximum traffic is Monday around 11 a.m EST.\n\nBut the real answer is that it depends on your audience and their location. For example, if majority of your audience is in Australia, then 11 a.m EST would not work.\n\nWe have a detailed guide on how to test the best publishing time for your blog."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How long does it take before a blog becomes popular?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Too often, beginners start a blog with the expectation that it will immediately become successful. Based on my experience, most blogs take at least 7-8 months before they see decent traffic, with the real long-term results showing up after 2-3 years.\n\nThis is also true for just about any kind of creator-based business like a YouTube channel or a course.\n\nOf course, there will be some exceptions where a creator can find instant success, but those are not the norm.\n\nFor example, the WPBeginner blog, which is one of the highest-earning blogs on the planet, was started in 2009. See the WPBeginner income report for more information."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How many times a week should I blog?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The frequency of how often you publish is less important than the consistency. I recommend that you start with consistently publishing one blog post per week. If you can do that for 3 weeks in a row, then try doing 2 and then ramp it up.\n\nAt WPBeginner, I publish 5 days a week (Monday to Friday).\n\nBut on other business blogs, my team may only publish two blog posts a week."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What are the top 3 best blog sites for beginners?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"My top 3 choices for the best blog sites for beginners are:\n\nWordPress - Self-hosted with WordPress is the best blogging site overall.\n\nHostinger Website Builder - A low-cost alternative to WordPress with a website-building solution for small businesses.\n\nWix - Full website builder platform and a good WordPress alternative."}}],"inLanguage":"en-US","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.wpbeginner.com\/beginners-guide\/how-to-choose-the-best-blogging-platform\/#breadcrumblist"}},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/www.wpbeginner.com\/#organization","name":"WPBeginner","description":"Beginner's Guide for WordPress","url":"https:\/\/www.wpbeginner.com\/","email":"support@wpbeginner.com","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/www.wpbeginner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/wpbeginner-logo-520.png","@id":"https:\/\/www.wpbeginner.com\/beginners-guide\/how-to-choose-the-best-blogging-platform\/#organizationLogo","width":520,"height":130,"caption":"WPBeginner Logo"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.wpbeginner.com\/beginners-guide\/how-to-choose-the-best-blogging-platform\/#organizationLogo"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/facebook.com\/wpbeginner","https:\/\/twitter.com\/wpbeginner","https:\/\/instagram.com\/wpbeginner","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/wpbeginner\/","https:\/\/youtube.com\/wpbeginner","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/wpbeginner\/"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/www.wpbeginner.com\/#website","url":"https:\/\/www.wpbeginner.com\/","name":"WPBeginner","description":"Beginner's Guide for WordPress","inLanguage":"en-US","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.wpbeginner.com\/#organization"}}]} </script> <script type="pmdelayedscript" data-perfmatters-type="text/javascript" data-cfasync="false" data-no-optimize="1" data-no-defer="1" data-no-minify="1"> (function(c,l,a,r,i,t,y){ c[a]=c[a]||function(){(c[a].q=c[a].q||[]).push(arguments)};t=l.createElement(r);t.async=1; t.src="https://www.clarity.ms/tag/"+i+"?ref=aioseo";y=l.getElementsByTagName(r)[0];y.parentNode.insertBefore(t,y); })(window, document, "clarity", "script", "l9feqf74nf"); </script>  <script type="pmdelayedscript" data-perfmatters-type="text/javascript" data-cfasync="false" data-no-optimize="1" data-no-defer="1" data-no-minify="1">function parentIsEvil() { var html = null; try { var doc = top.location.pathname; } catch(err){ }; if(typeof doc === "undefined") { return true } else { return false }; }; if (parentIsEvil()) { top.location = self.location.href; };var url = "https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-choose-the-best-blogging-platform/";if(url.indexOf("stfi.re") != -1) { var canonical = ""; var links = document.getElementsByTagName("link"); for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i ++) { if (links[i].getAttribute("rel") === "canonical") { canonical = links[i].getAttribute("href")}}; canonical = canonical.replace("?sfr=1", "");top.location = canonical; console.log(canonical);};</script>  <meta itemprop="name" content="12 Best Blogging Platforms in 2024 (Expert Picks)"/> <meta itemprop="headline" content="12 Best Blogging Platforms in 2024 (Expert Picks)"/> <meta itemprop="description" content="Are you looking for the right blogging platform to start a blog?

It’s still the best blogging platform in my book. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dedicated over a decade to writing this blog.</p> <p>But I know not everyone shares this view. Many people wonder which blogging platform best suits their needs. As someone committed to helping others build success online, I make it a point to stay on top of industry trends.</p> <p>That’s why I regularly test other popular blogging platforms and website builders. I compare them to WordPress and each other to provide well-rounded, up-to-date advice to my readers.</p> <p>Curious about my findings? You’re in the right place. This article will walk you through my comparison of today’s top blogging platforms, based on extensive hands-on testing.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img title="Best Blogging Platforms" decoding="async" width="680" height="385" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='680'%20height='385'%20viewBox='0%200%20680%20385'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="Best blogging platforms" class="wp-image-303886 perfmatters-lazy" data-src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/choose-best-blogging-platforms-in-post.png" data-srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/choose-best-blogging-platforms-in-post.png 680w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/choose-best-blogging-platforms-in-post-300x170.png 300w" data-sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /><noscript><img title="Best Blogging Platforms" decoding="async" width="680" height="385" src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/choose-best-blogging-platforms-in-post.png" alt="Best blogging platforms" class="wp-image-303886" srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/choose-best-blogging-platforms-in-post.png 680w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/choose-best-blogging-platforms-in-post-300x170.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></noscript></figure> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="aioseo-choosing-the-best-blogging-platform-what-to-look-for">How I Picked the Best Blogging Platforms</h4> <p>I’ve seen a lot of blogging platforms come and go over the years, and I believe there are several factors that make a blogging platform better than others.</p> <p>Here’s my personal checklist when evaluating a blogging platform:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><strong>Ease of Use: </strong>I look at how quickly you can set up a blog on the platform. The user interface should be intuitive, requiring no coding skills for basic operations.</li> <li><strong>Value for Money: </strong>I evaluate the features included in each pricing tier and consider the long-term costs as your blog grows. The availability of free plans or trials is also a plus in my book.</li> <li><strong>Blogging Features</strong>: The quality of the content editor is important. I also check for tools, integrations, or capabilities related to SEO, blog analytics, contact forms, and so on. </li> <li><strong>Scalability:</strong> A good blogging platform should be able to grow with your blog. I look for the ability to handle increasing traffic without performance issues. Options to add advanced features are also important, so you won’t have to migrate your blog later on.</li> </ul> <div class="wpb-alert style-yellow"> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">How I Test and Review Tools for WPBeginner</h4> <p>I’m the founder of WPBeginner and have 16+ years of experience in WordPress, SEO, web hosting, eCommerce, and online marketing.

But, I decided it wasn’t best to include them because I don’t want to cause choice paralysis.</p> </div> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="aioseo-blogging-platform-faq">Blogging Platform FAQs</h4> <p>WPBeginner has helped over 100,000+ users start their websites and answered quite a lot of questions in the process. Below are some of the most frequently asked questions about blogging platforms.</p> <p><strong>Which is the best blogging platform for SEO?</strong></p> <p>During my research, I found that WordPress is by far the best blogging platform for SEO because it has powerful SEO plugins like <a href="https://aioseo.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="All in One SEO - WordPress SEO Plugin and Toolkit">All in One SEO</a> that you can use to improve your blog’s rankings.</p> <p><strong>Which is the best free blogging platform?</strong></p> <p>Most blogging platforms that I have listed above offer a free version, but in my opinion, WordPress is the best free blogging platform. There is a reason why over 43% of all websites use WordPress.</p> <p>While WordPress itself is free, you still need a <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/whats-the-difference-between-domain-name-and-web-hosting-explained/" title="What’s the Difference Between Domain Name and Web Hosting (Explained)">domain name and web hosting</a>, both of which cost money. A domain is your website’s name on the internet (i.e. wpbeginner.com), and web hosting is where your files are stored.</p> <p>Some blogging platforms like Blogger or Medium will give you free hosting, but they put advertisements on your site, which isn’t ideal.</p> <p>This is why I recommend making a small investment of $1.99 per month to fully host own your blog by using WordPress in <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/refer/bluehost/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" title="Bluehost">Bluehost</a>.</p> <p>You may also want to see my guide on <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/why-is-wordpress-free-what-are-the-costs-what-is-the-catch/" title="Why is WordPress Free? What are the Costs? What is the Catch?">why WordPress is free and what the catch is</a>.</p> <p><strong>What platforms do most bloggers use?</strong></p> <p>According to my <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/research/2022-blogging-statistics-trends-data-ultimate-list-updated/" title="Blogging Statistics, Trends & Data – Ultimate List (UPDATED)">blogging research data</a>, most bloggers use WordPress to create their blog and it powers over 43% of all websites on the internet.</p> <p>People publish over 70 million new blog posts on WordPress every month.</p> <p>You may also find my <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/research/history-of-blogging/" title="A History of Blogging (1993 – Present Day Timeline)">history of blogging article</a> helpful to better understand how various blogging platforms evolved.</p> <p><strong>How can I make my blog popular?</strong></p> <p>In my experience, the best way to make your blog popular and grow your audience is by creating high-quality content and promoting it on social media platforms. You need to understand the problems your target audience is having and then help them solve them.</p> <p>I have also created the ultimate guide on <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-increase-your-blog-traffic/" title="How to Increase Your Blog Traffic – The Easy Way (Proven Tips)">how to increase your blog traffic</a> with 27 proven tips that you should check out.</p> <p><strong>Which blog topic is the best for earning money?</strong></p> <p>You can make money with just about every blog topic as long as you have an audience, but there are several blogging niches that are more successful than others. The top blog topics include health & fitness, personal finance, fashion, lifestyle, business & marketing, and travel.</p> <p>For a full list, see my <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/showcase/best-blogging-niche-that-will-make-money-easily/" title="Best Blogging Niche – That Will Make Money (Easily)">best blogging niche guide</a> as well as these <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/make-money-online/" title="Proven Ways to Make Money Online Blogging with WordPress">proven tips to monetize your blog</a>.</p> <p><strong>What is the best time to publish a blog post?</strong></p> <p>According to research and studies, the best time to publish a blog post for maximum traffic is Monday around 11 a.m. EST.</p> <p>But the real answer is that it depends on your audience and their location. For example, if the majority of your audience is in Australia, then 11 a.m. EST would not work.</p> <p>I have a detailed guide on how to test the <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/what-is-the-best-time-to-publish-a-blog-and-how-to-test-it/" title="When Is the Best Time to Publish a Blog (+ How to Test It)">best publishing time for your blog</a>.</p> <p><strong>How long does it take before a blog becomes popular?</strong></p> <p>Too often, beginners start a blog with the expectation that it will immediately become successful. Based on my experience, most blogs take at least 7-8 months before they see decent traffic, with the real long-term results showing up after 2-3 years.</p> <p>This is also true for just about any kind of creator-based business like a YouTube channel or a course.</p> <p>Of course, there will be some exceptions where a creator can find instant success, but those are not the norm.</p> <p>For example, the WPBeginner blog, which is one of the highest-earning blogs on the planet, was started in 2009. See the <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/opinion/wpbeginner-income-how-much-money-does-wpbeginner-make/" title="WPBeginner Income – How Much Money Does WPBeginner Make?">WPBeginner income report</a> for more information.</p> <p><strong>How many times a week should I blog?</strong></p> <p>The frequency of how often you publish is less important than the consistency. I recommend that you start with consistently publishing one blog post per week. If you can do that for 3 weeks in a row, then try doing 2 and then ramp it up.</p> <p>At WPBeginner, I publish 5 days a week (Monday to Friday).</p> <p>But on other business blogs, my team may only publish two blog posts a week.</p> <p><strong>What are the top 3 best blog sites for beginners?</strong></p> <p>My top 3 choices for the best blog sites for beginners are:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/refer/bluehost/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" title="WordPress + Bluehost">WordPress</a> – Self-hosted with WordPress is the best blogging site overall.</li> <li><a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/refer/hostinger-website-builder/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" title="Hostinger Website Builder">Hostinger Website Builder</a> – A low-cost alternative to WordPress with a website-building solution for small businesses.</li> <li><a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/refer/wix-blogging-platform/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" title="Wix">Wix</a> – Full website builder platform and a good WordPress alternative.</li> </ul> <p>I hope this article helped you choose the best blogging platform for your next blog.

What I enjoy about WordPress is that there is a solution for 99% of my ideas. The large community of people who can advise and help is also great. For this reason, I ultimately ended up with WordPress. The only downside I see is that it requires care, maintenance, and updates. However, in return, I have complete freedom with my ideas and creativity. Therefore, WordPress is currently the system I want to stay with as long as possible due to its positives.</p> </div> <div class="comment-reply"><a rel='nofollow' class='comment-reply-link' href='https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-choose-the-best-blogging-platform/comment-page-3/?replytocom=4627114#respond' data-commentid="4627114" data-postid="37103" data-belowelement="article-comment-4627114" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to this review" aria-label='Reply to this review'>Reply<svg width="11" height="11" aria-hidden="true" role="img" focusable="false"><use xlink:href="#regular-level-down"></use></svg></a></div> </article> <ul class="children"> <li class="comment odd alt depth-2" id="comment-4643041"> <article id="article-comment-4643041"> <header class="comment-header"> <p class="comment-author"> <span class="comment-author-name">Dayo Olobayo</span> </p> </header> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Interesting journey!

However, Joomla can be utilized effectively for corporate websites with static content and high security.

In the end, this site IS a promotion FOR WordPress BY WordPress tho it just so happens to be the BEST you can get and they’re certainly not going anywhere soon. As long as there are bloggers and readers like you, WordPress will be powering great websites!
