I am an absolute newbie to web design and blogging lost with where to start. To keep things short and simple, I want to start a blog but have no idea which platform to use between Webflow, Ghost & Wordpress Blog.
I have the following questions:
Which platform will be the cheapest to run on a monthly basis?
Would I be required to pay more than the monthly Webflow or Ghost costs of approx. $30? If so, what will those other costs be for?
What would be a good strategy to build my follower base vs a publishing on a platform like Medium?
I’ve never heard of ghost but i’d say Webflow over Wordpress for sure. For a blog, the CMS plan should work fine, it’s $16/month. Then your domain would be like $10-$20 per year.
No reason you can’t post your blog posts on both Medium and your Webflow site. Link to your Webflow site/blog from your Medium posts.
As I am non tech newbie, how could I drive traffic from Medium to my Webflow site? And should I budget for any other expenses above the CMS plan of $16/month as I have seen some people stating that their blog costs are around $300/month in total?
