A blog is a great way for someone to get their ideas out to the world and grow their personal brand. Recently, due to Living the Canadian Dream‘s growing online presence, I have been asked many times to explain how someone can start their own personal blog. I realize that other people also have questions about starting a personal blog, so I figured I might as well write a blog post giving some tips on how to start a blog. Thus, if you are looking to start your own blog for free but you don’t know how, the following information is for you. Just understand, that there are different types of blogs for different industries, needs and goals, so select the type that works best for you.

If you don’t have money to invest in you blog or just want to try it out, then try out a free blogging tool. But since these blogs are free, customization is limited such as custom domains and designs but they are still great tools to utilize when you are starting off. Furthermore, here are five of the best free online blogging tools to create your new blog in minutes.
