What is Blogspot/Blogger about?

Blogspot, popularly known as Blogger or Google blog is a blogging platform owned by Google. Google acquired it in 1990s and since been keeping it up to date. In different parts of the world, Blogspot is a Content Management System (CMS) of choice.

Blogger is different from other CMS and the distinctions are not far-fetched. The major difference is, Blogspot was created specifically for blogging purposes and nothing else.

Although, it is not uncommon to see website designer doing stuffs other than blogging with it.

Forms or versions of Blogspot

Blogspot do not have forms, versions and plans. The only thing about Blogspot is that it offers free server space for its users. Together with that, Blogger give access to free account where bloggers can create free subdomain to start their blog journey.

The blogger subdomain looks like; dapoobembe.blogpsot.com. To be able to use a custom domain with it, all you have to do is buy a custom domain and connect it with the free account. Everything will be explained in this article.

You can also monetize free blogger blog with other monetization schemes such as affiliate marketing, sponsored post, providing ad space and so on. But then, only very few will want to patronize free subdomain blogs.

Should I create only free Blogger blog or use custom domain?

I strongly recommend you start your blog journey the right way by having your custom domain from day one. See the reasons below;

With free blogger blog, you will look unserious and unprofessional
You won’t be serious with the blog and can give up anytime
Double work on the part of Domain Authority. Because when you build back link to free domain and your domain authority shoot up, the day you switch to custom domain you will have to start from zero DA again.
No advertiser will want to patronize you
Some other AdSense alternatives won’t approve your blog. So when AdSense rejects your free domain, you are on your own.
