Choosing the best blogging platform is an important step if you want to make your blog profitable.
Many blogging beginners are tempted to choose a free blogging platform like WordPress.com to save money. Then, they often ask us how to monetize a WordPress blog. Unfortunately, with a free WordPress blog, you can’t monetize your blog or website.
