Weebly, wordpress, blogspot, paper.li are some of the free blogging platforms. Apart from these, what are other free blogs good for beginners as we as professional. By good, I mean has better ranking on Google, is user friendly, has good user interface, is easy to monetize etc.

a blog is about content but it should also look good too. I visit a lot of sites looking for interesting information and sites that look unprofessional or have ads placed everywhere look untrustworthy and make me pause about reading what ever content they have in fear of getting malware.

Setting up a WordPress blog is so easy that I would never use a free blog. Not to mention that I want to retain the rights to everything that I publish and have the ability to say what I want to say and the free blogs can delete your blog if they don't like what you are saying. This is often the case with free blogs that don't want blogs on making money.

I also have a very short attention span for websites. If I go to a website and it takes too long to load or puts up a pop-up or leading ad page I'm typically outa there on the next click. Free blogs often have to advertise to pay the bills and often this slows load time.

If you are going to spend hours maintaining a blog about making money, don't you think spending $2 a month to have your own domain name and hosting is better than using a free blog that may come with problems you don't foresee? The biggest one being, people who visit may have a hard time believing you are prosperous and want to follow your advice.
