Everything you need to start a blog, at no cost

Sign up and all of this is ready on day one. You never install anything, and nothing needs updating.

A clean, focused editor

Headings, lists, quotes, links and a cover image, in an editor that keeps out of your way. A new draft is kept on your device as you type.

A proper page for every story

Each article gets its own address, cover, table of contents, reading time and reading progress bar, laid out for phones and laptops.

SEO checks while you write

A checklist for your title, summary, headings and focus keyword, so search engines understand what each story is about.

SEO checker

Readability and AI scores

See how easy your story is to read and whether anything in it reads as pasted from a chatbot, with a one-click fix.

AI content checker

Your own author page

Photo, banner, bio, topics, social links and every story you publish, at one address you can share anywhere.

Writer portfolio

Topics and series

Tag stories with up to five topics so they appear on topic pages, and group related stories into a series readers can follow in order.

Readers who are already here

Readers browse topic pages and trending stories, follow writers, save stories for later, and leave likes and star-rated reviews.

Scheduling and version history

Pick a time for a story to go live, and keep every version you save with a word-by-word comparison and one-click restore.

Scheduled publishing

A dashboard of your stats

Views and likes on every story, your best performers ranked, and a calendar of when you have published.

Share in one tap

Share buttons for WhatsApp, Telegram, LinkedIn, X, Facebook and email, and link previews that show your title and cover.

English and Hindi

Write in English or in Hindi. Article pages are set in fonts made for both scripts.

Your work stays yours

You own what you publish. Publisha only asks for permission to show and promote it on the platform.

The AI writing assistant (outlines, search summaries and draft reviews) comes with the paid plans. The free plan limits how many stories you can publish, and the paid plans raise that limit.

Choosing where to blog

Publisha or a blog website of your own?

Both are good choices for different writers. Here is the trade, without the sales pitch.

What mattersPublishaYour own website
Cost to startFreeA domain and hosting, renewed every year

Ads and earningsNot offeredYour choice

If you want your own brand, domain and ad income, a self-hosted site suits you better. If you want to write and be read without running a website, start here. You can also do both: publish on Publisha and link to your own site from your profile.

Your first month

Blogging tips for your first month

What separates the blogs that grow from the ones that stop after three posts is rarely talent. It is mostly these.

01

Write about what you know

Your job, your city, your exams, your field. Experience is the one thing nobody can copy, and readers can tell when a writer has it.

02

Answer one question per post

A story that fully answers one question beats one that half-answers five. It is also easier to find in search.

03

Choose a rhythm you can keep

One good story a week, every week, builds more readers than five in a burst and then silence. Scheduling helps.

04

Turn a big topic into a series

Ten things to know about filing taxes is ten stories, and a series that brings readers back for the next part.

05

Share where your readers are

For most writers in India that means WhatsApp groups, LinkedIn and Instagram. Share each story once, with a line about why it's worth reading.

06

Look at your numbers, then write more

Your dashboard ranks stories by views. Write more of what people read, and keep trying new things.
