After creating my blog in 2016 featuring Dallas Cowboys fans I learned a valuable lesson. Did you create a goal for 2024 to start that new blog? Consider both Medium and Facebook this year and save your money as a result when starting.

GETTING STARTED

Every new year people come in wanting to set a goal or resolution for themselves. Before the 2000s blogging was all the rage online. Start a blog, make millions! Yeah right. Had I had given this advice to myself 7 years ago it would not only saved me money, but also my time.

Take it from a veteran. I currently operate a self-hosted WordPress blog on Bluehost’s server. It costs about $85 monthly to operate it. What if I told you I could save you $80 monthly and still create blog content in 2024?

I started blogging/ writing on Medium in 2017. This will be the 272nd article published. It’s a very simple platform to create “BLOG POSTS” and share on social media. When you subscribe to the Medium platform to read unlimited articles 2 things happen.

Writers need to read to write. If not, your vocabulary will suffer and it will show up in your content. This platform is packed with authors who provide valuable content and make a handsome living in the process. Consider that $4.99 as an investment in yourself.
