I’m not sure that there’s a more hotly debated topic in DIY circles than painting kitchen cabinets. And in some cases, I think it’s justified if it’s a real old beat-up crappy material sort of cabinet. A new paint job can be something that saves that material from the landfill. I did this in my mom’s condo in the past. I love the results. She still loves the results, and I stand by it being a good solution in some cases. Some people love it.

Some people hate it and I’m not here to tell you what’s right and wrong. Hey, it’s your cabinets. Do whatever the heck you want with them. But if you’re going to paint them, I do encourage you to do a good job, do some research, get the right tools because otherwise you just have problems and it looks like doody. So that’s the situation we have here. These are doody cabinets, and I am tasked with the challenge of trying to fix them and spruce them up. So, this house is about to hit the market, and we just want to make sure it looks better.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of flaws. Now, the budget is very low. I can’t do a lot here. I just have to do the best I can and try to get a new finish and spruce up what I see. Fix some of the problems and it presentable to potential buyers. So let me show you the flaws that I see and then give you some tips on how we can make them a little bit better. Oh, and a quick caveat. I just want to say I’m not a professional painter. I’m a woodworker and I know mostly clear finishes. So, when I do paint, if you’re a professional painter, you might critique what I’m doing. That’s perfectly fine. I’m just doing someone a favor here and I’m doing the best I can. And because these were just regular wood cabinets when they were first installed, some of the gaps here are forgivable when it’s just a wood finish against the wood finish.

A gap is not quite as noticeable if it’s just a little hairline. But when you paint it and you get some paint up in there, your kind of goober it up and it doesn’t look good because now gaps appear as black lines, especially when you have a white paint job like this. So, we do have some caulking to do to make sure that we get rid of those lines and just make them disappear if possible. Because the doors were painted in place, we have a lot of excess paint where someone tried to get the brush onto the edge of the door and then we wound up with a bunch of goobers here that we’re going to have to sand down and clean up.

And once again, because the doors were not removed, we have areas where the hinges lived that just didn’t get any paint, so you got some holidays there. And that highlights one of the most important tips I can give. You don’t be lazy about it. Just take the doors off. It’s not that hard. Get a screwdriver, remove the hinges, remove the hardware and you’re going to have a much better time, a much easier time and the results are going to be a lot better. All right. So here’s what we’re going to do. We’re removing all the doors. I’m numbering them. It should be obvious where they go. But just in case we’re putting a little bit of blue tape on the back of the door, we’re putting a number on it and I just go in sequential order as we go across, we’ll do the same thing when we do the bottoms later.

This way we just keep everything straight.

And one of the first things I’m going to do is go around and caulk because I want some time for that caulk to dry before we start doing some spot treatment on the paint job. One thing I will say is the cabinet, face frames in a case like this where budget is low and we’re trying to get this done as fast as possible. We don’t necessarily have to do a lot of work on the face frames. We’re going to get rid of the flaws and we’re going to apply paint probably with a roller or a brush just to make sure that’s done because most of the face frames are covered by the doors. The doors are where we’re going to give it a little bit more extra love and attention. So we’re just kind of compromising here to get the best results possible and the most bang for the buck.

Now, hopefully you can make this out, but look at the edge of this door. It’s just a bunch of built up paint on there. So we’re going to take these doors outside, get them sanded up a little bit. We’re not removing all the paint, but we do want to level it out as much as we can.

So, Jay’s got the door out here. The first step is to hit all the flat sections. Again, we’re not going for a complete strip here. We just want to knock down the texture. A lot of this paint job was probably done with a roller, probably one with a very heavy nap on it. So, we have so much of this orange peel kind of texture. We’re going to try to knock some of that down. So, we’re going to hit it with a random orbit sander with about 180 grits, hit all those flats. Now, we’re not going to get perfection in here on the moldings. We’re just going to do the best we can with some hand sanding and a sanding block, whatever we can to just smooth it out a little bit.

So, you might be able to see here with the light coming across this way that we’ve knocked down a lot of those high spots. So it’s a little bit of a mottled look to it, but that’s what we’re going for. We just want to smooth it out and if we hit a couple of bare spots, that’s totally fine. We’re going to paint over that, but you can kind of see what we’re going for here and I hate to use the phrase quick and dirty because that implies low quality, but we are doing something that’s a little bit quick and dirty here just trying to get the job done in a short time frame and on a low budget and you can see how much we had to sand the edge just to get that clumpy crap off of there.

Now, oddly enough, the insides of these doors are in better shape than the outside.

Also, the fact that it’s the inside. So we’re going to make an executive decision to not worry about the insides today. We’re just focused on the outside. Now of course, there’s a lot of dust on the surface. So Jay is going to hit it with a vac. And the final step is to take a lightly dampened rag or paper towel, not wet. We don’t want it to be soaked. We just want it slightly damp and that’s going to pull any remaining dust off of the surface and get us ready for that paint. Now, inside, I’m going to tackle some of these areas with these high spots of accumulated paint and I’m going to use my random orbit sander.

Same grit we were using outside. There’s a lot here. Just a word of caution. Random orbit sanders can remove material very aggressively. So, you just want to be a little bit careful with how you use it and how much pressure you apply. Well, sorry to interrupt your video, but I got to tell you guys something really important. Do you know that we have t-shirts like this one? They’re pretty awesome and they come in in a wide variety of exotic colors like black and also black.

So, if you’re interested head to taw store dot com, pick up a new t-shirt. We appreciate the support as always. And let’s get back to that video. All right. Next, we’re going to use a little bit of caulk, and you want to be careful with the way that you size the tip here. We don’t have big gaps. So, I really don’t want to make a huge wide opening on this. I want something that’s fairly fine and that I could easily control…get that little lip up there and that should do the trick. Now, I know there’s a number of you who are going to be really disappointed that I didn’t do any sort of caulk jokes because I’m using caulk and it sounds like another word. But, you know, over the years been doing this for a long time, I’ve matured quite a bit. You’re just going to have to get over it. Look. No caulk jokes. Now, caulks come in all different sizes and shapes. It doesn’t really matter whether you have a big one or a small one.

It’s really a matter of how you use it.

Correct placement, right. Uh So we’re going to put that right in the crack here. Here we go. Just like that. Now, if you’re a little sloppy with your caulk, you can come back with a wet rag and just wipe it clean along the line and that should improve the look a little bit and don’t be afraid to use your bare hands with your caulk. You get a better feel for what’s going on. Now, even if you only have a short portion to do here, it’s not a bad idea if you have a full line there to take a bead down the whole line and just even the look out just so it’s a little more consistent and then maybe go a little heavier when you actually do have a gap and skim over the parts where you don’t and that just gives you nice consistent coverage all the way down.

Now up here where we have this build-up of crown definitely needs a little bit of help. I know caulk just kind of has a bad reputation because it covers up problems, you know, in the fit and finish. But this stuff was never caulked in the first place, and these gaps are just crazy. So, here’s what it looks like before and there’s the after, I mean, when it comes to these gaps, it’s really what you don’t see that makes the big difference if you notice it, that’s usually an indicator of a problem. So now I’ve caulked everywhere I need to, and I’ve also hit the surfaces that I plan to paint with a little bit of sandpaper. So, this is a kitchen that’s been used, which means there could be grease, there could be oil and then ultimately paint just kind of binds better to a surface that’s got a little bit of a tooth to it. A mechanical tooth. So, hitting it with a little bit of sandpaper is a good idea.

So, the 180 or 220 I’m not really painting the entire thing at this point. So that goes in what paint I’m going to use here. I did buy new paint for the doors because I’m redoing all of them and we’re going to do that with a spray, but for the face frames and everything that’s up here, I’m going to use the original paint so that it blends perfectly with the areas that I am not touching at this point. And thankfully, I do have a supply of that paint. Of course, we’re going to use a good quality brush to do this.

You could also use a roller; just make sure it’s a nice fine roller that leaves a smooth finish. If you use like a big thick nap roller, one that you might use on a textured wall. Well, it leaves texture and you wind up with what we already have on these cabinets, which is a gross textured surface. So, we’ll do something a little better than that. Now, even though paint covers grain, I usually try to follow, you know, going with the grain as sort of a rule. So, when you have a stile like this of our face frame, it goes all the way down and then meets with this portion which is a rail so I can take a brush stroke all the way down to this point. And I can imagine there being a line and then later, if I wanted to hit this rail, I would hit that going in this direction. So, to me, it just kind of makes sense. And of course, here we had to sand a little more aggressively.

So it may take a number of coats to get that to look decent. But at this point, I’m just going to make sure we have good coverage across the whole thing. And when I’m painting a section, I’m really going to make an effort here to do the entire length of the piece. I really don’t want to start and stop line on a single piece if I can avoid it. So right now, I’m just trying to get good coverage and make sure we have paint across the whole surface. See if I need to go sideways to get some areas like that. That’s ok. It’s just the final passes that really matter the most. And once I have the coverage, I want nice spread here, then I’m going to take one last pass. I believe it’s called tipping where I’m just going to make a nice light run all the way down in one motion that should help decrease the lines that we see in our brush strokes.

And we will definitely need another coat on that side there. Of course, any areas like here where we had our hinges that were completely missed it a little bit dusty. You do want to vacuum, try to get all that dust off of there. We’re just going to touch that part up too. The hinge does cover it, but you know, she was doing a nice job.

All right. So, while that dries, we’re going to head outside, get the HV LP set up and see if we can get the rest of the doors done. Now to apply the paint to our doors, we’re going to use HVLP. Now, this might be intimidating if you’re not familiar with this, you could certainly use a brush or a roller or whatever you need to do. But I think best results really come from spraying, especially if you don’t have a lot of experience with applying by hand and spray systems are actually not that expensive these days. You don’t need a big compressor. You just need a turbine. They’re self-contained. So, you basically have a hose, a gun and then the unit here that creates all of the air.

So, you can get these for like 100 bucks and it’s actually well worth it for something like this because you can go very quickly and you get a nice, smooth even finish. So, we’re just going to load up the paint into the cup here. A couple other things. If the paint is really, really thick, you can dilute a little bit. If its water based, you could dilute with water or you can use a product called folderol, which is actually probably a little bit better. You also want to use a paint filter. I have those back at the shop. I don’t have them here and this is a sort of run and gun pun intended, run and gun process. We’re just dumping it and if I need to dilute, I’ll dilute with a little bit of water, and we’ll hope for the best. But those filters are good for getting any of the solidified chunks out of there and just to ensure a more even coat of material. So, let’s get some of this into the cup.

This is, this is where someone’s going to chime in. Didn’t you know that if you put a nail in your foot, you stand on your right leg and bounce three times, this goes a lot better. I’m just doing what I can people. Relax. Look at that like a pro and I didn’t even have to watch a TikTok video. I watch my own videos to learn how to do things. All right, I’m going to add a little bit of water here, not coffee. And then I’m going to mix it with my patented mixing stick. Boy, this won’t bother anybody, will it? Everyone’s going to love this. Now, there are ways to judge the viscosity of finishes and paints like this proper ways to do it. Sometimes you could just kind of look at with experience, look at the thickness of the material and make a quick judgment call. Clearly, clearly, not getting too scientific about it today.

You’ve done good stick. All right.

So I’m just going to put my doors down on some bench cookies there just to raise them up off the surface, go around, hit my perimeter. Oh By the way, you do have a lot of settings on these spray guns. And these things generally have several adjustments on them for the fan size, the amount of fluid that’s coming out, going to work out the pattern here on my tarp real quick and then I’m going to start to spray and just make sure I have decent coverage over the whole thing and around my edges. So we’re going to be as efficient as possible with this paint because I really don’t want to go buy more. I’m also wearing a respirator.

That’s always a good idea. All right. So it’s a little bit chilly outside. It’s also windy. So what we were able to do is get some cardboard, lay our doors out inside so that they can dry where it’s nice and warm and there aren’t any bugs.

And then by the time everything sets up here, then we can start to hang the doors back on the cabinets. Unfortunately, there was a showing happening that day and we needed to scramble to get the doors back on the cabinet. So there’s no footage of that. But here’s the final look. Now, it’s not perfect, but it’s definitely better.

And that’s what we’re going for. And here are some drawers that we didn’t have time to do. So you can see the old finish and compare that to the top drawer, which is the new finish. It’s a big difference. So, we’re going to do the best we can to spruce up these cabinets, make them look good.

So that when a buyer comes in, they are not going to throw up when they see the cabinets. Now to apply the finish… it’s not finish…paint.

Understanding Anxiety Disorders: Symptoms, Causes, and Paths to Healing

Anxiety is a universal human emotion—everyone worries, overthinks, or feels nervous at times. But for millions of people, anxiety moves beyond temporary stress and becomes a persistent, disruptive force. Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions worldwide, affecting daily functioning, relationships, work, and overall well-being. Understanding what anxiety is—and what it isn’t—is a powerful first step toward healing.

What Are Anxiety Disorders?

Anxiety disorders are a group of related conditions where worry or fear becomes excessive, uncontrollable, and chronic. These disorders aren’t just “being stressed” or “overreacting.” They are genuine medical conditions involving changes in brain functioning, stress-response systems, and emotional regulation.

Common types include:

• Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): persistent, uncontrollable worry about everyday life.
• Panic Disorder: recurring panic attacks with intense physical symptoms like chest tightness, rapid heartbeat, and dizziness.
• Social Anxiety Disorder: fear of judgment or embarrassment in social situations.
• Phobias: overwhelming fear of a specific object or situation.
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are sometimes grouped with anxiety disorders due to overlapping symptoms, although they are distinct diagnoses. 

How Anxiety Feels: Key Symptoms

While symptoms vary across individuals and disorders, common experiences include:

Emotional symptoms

• Constant worry, dread, or fear
• Feeling “on edge” or unable to relax
• Difficulty controlling anxious thoughts

Physical symptoms

• Rapid heartbeat
• Shortness of breath
• Muscle tension
• Trouble sleeping
• Digestive issues
• Fatigue

Behavioral symptoms

• Avoiding feared situations
• Difficulty concentrating
• Reassurance seeking

These symptoms are real, uncomfortable, and often frightening—but highly treatable.

What Causes Anxiety Disorders?

There’s no single cause. Anxiety often develops through a combination of:

• Biology: genetic tendencies, brain chemistry differences, overactive fight-or-flight responses
• Environment: stressful life events, trauma, chronic pressure
• Personality: perfectionism, sensitivity, neuroticism, or a tendency to catastrophize
• Lifestyle factors: poor sleep, chronic stress, substance use, medical conditions

Because these factors interact differently in each person, anxiety looks and feels unique to everyone.

The Good News: Anxiety Is Treatable

Anxiety disorders respond extremely well to treatment. Evidence-based options include:

1. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
One of the most effective therapies, CBT helps you identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and build healthier coping behaviors.

2. Exposure Therapy
Gradual exposure to feared situations reduces avoidance and retrains the brain to feel safe.

3. Medication
For some, anti-anxiety medications or antidepressants can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

4. Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques
Breathing exercises, grounding strategies, and meditation help calm the nervous system.

5. Lifestyle Adjustments
Sleep, nutrition, movement, and reducing caffeine or alcohol can significantly reduce symptoms. 

Healing doesn’t follow a straight line, and progress may feel slow at times. But with the right support, the brain can learn new patterns, and life can become calmer, more manageable, and more hopeful.

You’re Not Alone

Whether you’ve just started noticing symptoms or have been living with anxiety for years, know this: millions of people understand what you’re going through, and help is available. Anxiety disorders are common, real, and highly treatable. Reaching out—for information, for support, or for professional help—is one of the most powerful steps you can take.

If you’d like, I can create:

• a longer version (1,500–3,000 words)
• a version optimized for SEO
• versions tailored to therapists, patients, or parents
• versions on specific types of anxiety disorders

Just tell me what you prefer.

Hi, I’m Cathy with Level Up RN. In this video, we will be discussing generalized anxiety disorder, as well as a few key specific anxiety disorders. And at the end of the video, I’m going to give you guys a little quiz to test your knowledge of some of the key points I’ll be covering, so definitely stay tuned for that. And if you have our Level Up RN Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing Flashcards, I am just starting in the disorder section of this deck. Everyone experiences anxiety from time to time and that is a normal thing. However, with generalized anxiety disorder, or GAD, an individual will have persistent and excessive worrying that will cause significant physical and/or psychological symptoms.

Females are more likely than males to experience generalized anxiety disorder, and symptoms include excessive anxiety and worrying that lasts for more than six months, as well as symptoms such as fatigue, restlessness, irritability, muscle tension, as well as insomnia. In terms of diagnosis, it’s important to rule out any underlying disorders, such as hyperthyroidism. Treatment can include talk therapy, as well as  cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT. I covered CBT in a previous video in this playlist,  so if you need a review of that therapy then definitely check that out.

Medications used in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder include SSRIs, SSNRIs, as well as benzodiazepines and atypical anxiolytics such as buspirone. In terms of nursing care, we want to teach our patient how to recognize the signs of escalating anxiety and teach them interventions to help decrease their anxiety, such as deep breathing and exercise.  It should be noted, however, that if a patient is experiencing severe or panic-level anxiety, then problem-solving is not going to be possible and our nursing care should really be focused on the patient’s safety as well as their physical needs. Moving on to specific anxiety disorders now.

Two specific anxiety disorders that I would be familiar with include social anxiety disorder and agoraphobia. With social anxiety disorder, an individual will experience anxiety related to social situations due to fear of humiliation or rejection.  Agoraphobia translates to fear of the marketplace, and an individual with agoraphobia will experience anxiety related to public transportation, crowds of people, and being outside the home.  Some patients have anxiety that is produced by a specific object or situation. For example, arachnophobia is the fear of spiders and claustrophobia is the fear of confined spaces.

Treatment of specific anxiety disorders can include behavioral therapy, such as systematic desensitization and anti-anxiety medications, which we covered earlier in this video. All right; it’s quiz time. Are you guys ready? Question number one. Is generalized anxiety disorder more common in females or males? The answer is females. Question number two. Name one or more drug classes that are used to treat generalized anxiety disorder.

All right, if you said SSRIs, SSNRIs, benzodiazepines, or atypical anxiolytics, such as buspirone, then you are right. Question number three. What do you call anxiety that is produced by fear of public crowds and being outside the home?

The answer is agoraphobia. All right, that is it for this video. I hope you found it helpful. Take care and good luck with studying.  Two specific anxiety disorders that I would be familiar.

You see fear must be fed in order for it to gain power and the way that fear is fed  best is it loves a buffet of what if and worry I mean it just loves it it eats on it constantly  what if they don’t like me what if I end up alone what if my child never comes back to faith what if I relapse again  what if this is as good as it gets if I lose my house what if the cancer comes back  what if I lose my job what if after all this studying.

I still fail and so now you’re in the  wilderness the wilderness of what if I now find that what if is a weapon that the devil uses  to keep me from doing things that I know good and well in my spirit God has called me to do you know it’s amazing to me how people can so clearly hear the devil but can’t hear God’s voice.

I mean isn’t that true I mean don’t you it just seems like no one ever struggles to hear  the voice of the enemy in their life but you constantly I meet people who struggle to hear  the voice of God in their life I mean it really is astounding it’s amazing to me that a God who  has been so faithful can be so doubted and yet an enemy who is completely unfaithful can be so  trusted now here’s what we have to remember about this is very important is that the Bible is very  clear that Satan is a liar and there’s nothing that he can’t even tell the truth he doesn’t  know how to speak it it’s a language that’s foreign to him and equally God can never lie  and he is truth and any time that God creates something Satan creates a counterfeit to it  anytime that God creates something Satan’s going to say well I’m going to create a  counterfeit to that.

And so when God created faith Satan created fear faith attracts God  fear attracts the enemy in your life faith gives God access to work in your circumstances  fear gives the enemy access to work in your circumstances see the enemy’s central objective  is to get you to doubt God’s promises every fear that’s ever brought into your life is an attempt  to nullify a promise that God made you in his word for God has not given us a spirit of fear  but of power and love and a sound mind fear wants you to forget that God’s powerful to the fact that  let me let’s just have a little exercise think of your worst fear because your worst fear is not  more powerful than God’s ability to bring his best into your life if the God who hung the universe  the stars the moon the sun if the God who has no equal if the God who scripture tells uses  the Earth as a footstool if he loves you what in the world are you worried about  what are you fearful of.

I mean if if that’s the God who wants to be in relationship with you and  give you attention if that’s the love that he is sharing what in the world are you scared of  and then here’s I he’s already taken care of the worst problem in your life which was your eternal  salvation there’s nothing you could do nothing you could work nothing you could earn no person you  could get to that would fix that problem he’s already fixed it so if he can fix the biggest  problem in your life why can’t we trust that his love will bring about this every problem we’ve got  on this side of eternity he’s going to protect you he’s going to provide for you he’s already done it  you’re loved but Paul says be careful because  fear wants you to forget that God’s powerful forget that.

You’re loved you see when fear comes  in your life it may overwhelm you for a moment but there is nothing stopping you from taking a breath  and beginning to believe the promises of God instead of what fear says  see if you focus on the enemy the problems will always seem huge the result is fear when you  focus on God your faith grows as you realize that God is bigger than your problems Romans 8:31 says  if God is for us who can be against us God is on your side come on you’re going to come out of this  and we’re going to make it focus on God not the enemies it is a choice that’s why we worship it’s  not just a tradition worship is connecting with God and focusing on him and forgetting about fears  but.

I have in my years.

I have just noticed that people are scared about possibilities they can’t  see in the dark things that might happen they get scared of Winston Churchill was asked how  he made it through World War II with all of its fears he said I act like I’m unafraid  I choose not to fear I will not dread this I will walk as though.

I am not I’m going  to trust God when everything seems like it’s about to fall what do you have to hold on to and in our world today so many times we don’t know what’s to  come but so many times don’t you and I face what might come tomorrow with fear  some of you fear the future you aren’t sure what God’s ultimate plan for your life is  you fear taking a step of obedience with God what if this doesn’t work some of you fear  the unknown no matter how big or strong you are there is something you fear and whether we want  to admit it or not we all face fear but for some of you it’s bigger you are consumed with fear  God.

I don’t know what’s next I don’t know what to expect or what to do I’m afraid  there’s no clear path to the future thank you so many times you stop growing because of fear  change frightens you so rather than move forward and change you stand still  keep moving forward obey God’s voice in spite of your fear  when you move forward in faith instead of standing still in fear God provides what could you do what.

Would you do for God if you realize that you would overcome all opposition with his help  he is your protector and I love what Isaiah 43 says but now this is what the Lord says fear  not for I have redeemed you I have summoned you by name you are mine when you pass through the waters.

I will be with you and when you pass through the rivers they will not sweep over you when  you walk through the fire you will not be burned the flames will not set you ablaze for I am the  Lord your God the Holy One of Israel your savior God didn’t say you’ll never go through hard times  you’re never going to suffer you’re never going to have a problem know what God said was fear not  even though you encounter hard times I am going to be with you and I’m going to protect you  that financial challenge I’m with you that family situation I’m with you  rejection failure heartache loss the unknown I’ll be with you I am your protector God has said never will.

I leave you never will I forsake you  so we say with confidence the Lord is my helper I will not be afraid what can man do to me  how do you overcome fear by remembering that God is with you and God will protect you  are not in this alone you do not have to do this in your own strength  even if you feel all alone you’re not I will be with you Jesus is saying I’m here I’m right here  what would happen in your life instead of looking at fear you just called to Jesus don’t be afraid or discouraged listen to me for the Lord my God is with you  and he will not fail you or what forsake you and isn’t that incredible let me ask  you this question what could go right what could go right the fear of something bad  happening in your life may very well keep God out of bringing something good in your life Psalms 91:2 this I declare about the Lord he alone is my refuge he is my  place of safety he is my God and.

I will trust in him what’s the opposite of fear it’s trust I’m going to trust you it doesn’t mean the fear goes away it means I take the courageous step of trusting God for  who he says he is even if the worst thing happened God would be with me in that too  I’m going to do everything I can to stop it I’m going to do everything I can to change it  but see even if it happens I am is still with me.

Choosing the Right Free Blogging Tools

Starting a blog doesn’t have to be expensive—or complicated. With so many free blogging platforms available today, the key is choosing tools that match your goals, skill level, and the type of content you plan to create. Here’s how to make the right choice.

1. Identify Your Blogging Goals

Before picking any tool, ask yourself:

• Do you want a simple personal blog or a professional one?
• Do you need full design control, or do templates work?
• Will you monetize your blog?

4. Think About Monetization

Not all free tools allow monetization. If earning money is part of your plan, check whether the platform supports:

• Ads
• Affiliate links
• Selling digital products
• Email list integration

Best for monetization (even on free tiers):
WordPress.com, Blogger, Substack

5. Evaluate Limitations of Free Plans

Free plans often include:

• Platform-branded domains (e.g., yourblog.wordpress.com)
• Storage caps
• Limited plugins or advanced features
• Built-in ads

Make sure you’re okay with those restrictions—or choose a tool that minimizes them.

6. Examine Writing & Editing Features

A good blogging tool should offer:

• Distraction-free writing
• Draft autosave
• Media uploads
• Easy formatting
• SEO basics

Best writing experience: Medium, WordPress.com

7. Look at Growth & Community Features

Some platforms help you grow faster by exposing your content to built-in audiences.

Best for community reach:
