HOST
If you want to start a professional blog on a platform like WordPress you need to have a hosting service that your blog is running on. I personally use Bluehost and love it. I know that hundreds of bloggers use this service and I understand why. It’s very affordable for beginners and includes the most important little things like your security and SSL-Certificates. I personally use the cheapest option and paid for 3 years. If you wanna test out blogging you can obviously also just pay for a year.
BRANDING
If you already learned a bit about marketing you will know that branding is super important and having your own style is super important. This doesn’t need to be expensive to achieve. I personally use a lot of Graphics and little things that I find on Creative Market. You can even find designs for your blog there. I made a whole blog post about my favorite blog designs for beginners and it includes 4 designs from Creative Market.
