## Learn how to make money blogging without a domain, using the Medium style blogging app called LeoFinance

Welcome to the first special post in my *how to make money blogging* series, found exclusively right here on Hive’s [LeoFinance](https://leofinance.io/) community.

Those of us already a part of the LeoFinance community understand the power that a Web 3.0 ready, [Hive crypto](https://leofinance.io/@crypto-guides/what-is-hive-crypto-hive) account offers in terms of true account ownership, censorship resistance, and the ability to make money.

But for those of you who are reading this from outside and might not be as familiar with the power of LeoFinance, you can follow the 5 simple steps below to immediately start making money blogging without a domain.


### 1. Create Your Free Hive Account
The first step to making money blogging without a domain is getting a blog.

You may be familiar with creating free blogs on platforms such as WordPress or Medium, but to take advantage of all that Web 3.0 can offer, you're going to want to create a Hive account.

The end game of Web 3.0 will see a connected web of websites and apps that users can seamlessly interact with, using a censorship-resistant account that they truly own.

Leading the forefront into Web 3.0 is [Hive](https://hive.io/), with the blockchain offering users to seamlessly shift between applications such as blogging front-ends like LeoFinance.

To create your free Hive account, click the big yellow *get started* button at the top right of [leofinance.io](https://leofinance.io/) and select the account creation method that works best for you.

Once you’ve got your own Hive account, you’ll also have your very own blog at a domain in the format of *leofinance.io/@forexbrokr*, which can start using to make money blogging today.


### 2. Find Your Niche in the LeoFinance Community
Now that you have your very own Hive account, you can immediately start making money using the LeoFinance blogging front-end.

Just remember that LeoFinance is the trading and investments community on the Hive blockchain, so you’re going to have to keep your blog on topic.

While there are a number of opportunities to make money blogging without a domain within other Hive-based communities, LeoFinance is geared toward finance topics only.

But as you will see by exploring what's being posted, *finance and investments* is a massively broad topic.

So even if finance isn't your go to topic, think outside the box and you'll soon find your blogging niche.

#### Finance related niches to blog about on LeoFinance:

* **Crypto:** Trading or investing in Bitcoin or the various altcoins.
* **Forex:** Day trading the highly liquid currency markets.
* **Stocks:** Investing in the various international stock markets. 
* **Personal finance:** Your own experiences about money. 
* **DeFi:** Decentralised finance platforms such as [CubFinance](https://cubdefi.com/).

As you can see, the finance and investments topic is actually quite broad and as long as you’re making an effort, then you’ll find the LeoFinance community more than happy to reward good content.

Find your niche and you can start making money blogging without a domain, by creating content on LeoFinance.


### 3. Start Creating Content
One cool thing about LeoFinance is that you actually don’t have to write and publish your own full-length blogs to make money here.

Make money blogging… while not actually publishing blogs you say?

Yes, that’s entirely possible on LeoFinance!

Many people worry that their writing isn’t up to scratch, so are shy about publishing their own work on their new blog domain.

But if you’re passionate about your niche and want to contribute to the community, then you can actually make money purely by adding to the discussion in the comments section of other blogs.

LeoFinance is a social platform after all and as a result, you’ll find that daily bloggers on the platform will often reward comments with high value upvotes.

Why not try leaving a comment on this particular blog letting me know that you’ve joined the community?

I reward all comments that add something of value to the discussion with an upvote. 


### 4. Make Money Blogging Without a Domain on LeoFinance
Now let’s talk about exactly how you make money blogging without a domain on LeoFinance.

By creating content on LeoFinance, you’re able to earn newly minted LEO and HIVE tokens from the blockchain’s reward pool.

Each user who stakes tokens to their account, has a say on how this rewards pool is distributed each day. 

The bigger a user’s stake, the more say they have in its distribution and the bigger their upvote on the platform is.

The cool thing about being a part of the LeoFinance community is that you actually have multiple ways to make money.

By posting from the LeoFinance front-end, you’re able to earn both LEO tokens as well as native HIVE tokens too.

Just keep in mind that when someone upvotes your content, a certain amount of LEO and HIVE will be distributed to you from both token pools depending on their respective stakes.

I understand this is a confusing topic, so for a more detailed explanation of how rewards on the Hive blockchain work, check out the [FAQ page on LeoPedia](https://leopedia.io/faq/).


### 5. Sell Your Crypto for USD to Cash Out
This final step in today’s how to make money blogging without a domain post, is obviously optional.

Many bloggers today are using this alternative income stream to opt out of the traditional financial system and seek freedom by remaining in crypto.

As the cryptosphere continues to build out and expand, we’re going to see more options for spending the money you’ve earned blogging, without cashing it out into USD at all.

But what you choose to do with your hard-earned crypto is entirely up to you.

The point is that even this early in the game, you have options.

If you’re going to sell your crypto for USD to cash out, then simply transfer your LEO rewards to HIVE using the [LeoDex](https://leodex.io/).

Then head to your crypto exchange of choice, find their Hive withdrawal address and make the HIVE transfer directly from your wallet on LeoFinance.

Thanks to LeoFinance, you can make money blogging without a domain.
