There isn’t a single best option. WordPress.com’s free plan, Blogger, and Tumblr each have strengths. Pick the one that fits your goals and growth plan.

Stick with the free tier, keep plugins and extra features lean, and upgrade only when growth makes it necessary. That keeps control and avoids lock-in.

Test publishing flow, theme customization, SEO basics, and how easy it is to publish cornerstone posts. Track early metrics like visits and email signups.

WordPress.com free is hosted for you with limited customization; self-hosted WordPress.org gives full control but needs hosting and setup. Upgrades unlock more features and flexibility.

Choose a platform, pick a clean theme, create essential pages, publish 3 cornerstone posts, set up email capture, and start sharing on social. Then monitor results and iterate.
