Best blog sites/website builders? (Easy-to-use)
« on: August 25, 2019, 03:13:39 PM »
Hi - could you please share your recommendation for the best blog sites?

Wix, weebly, wordpress, etc?  Looking for anyone who's used these sites and can vouch for the good or bad.

Parameters:
-Looking for a platform to share knowledge/articles/images
-To eventually load video or link to podcast - so would need to be able to link to/integrate those
-To eventually offer webinars via zoom-like platform
-I'm not a programmer, and though somewhat tech-savvy, really want something EASY to use

Total hobby, passion project thing, but would be great if it could lead to a side hustle/charge for some services.

Thanks for any tips.

JoJo

I have been using bluehost/wordpress for 3 years, it's cheap for the first 3 years if you pay upfront.  It's OK, but not good if you're expecting the blog to become HUGE!

All blogging seems really saturated.  Seriously don't expect to make money, just a small percentage of bloggers do.

Here's a little piece I wrote a few months ago, and still think it's all true:

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
