Start a Blog in 5 Minutes with Typely
In a world overflowing with distractions and complexity, starting a blog shouldn’t feel like setting up a rocket launch. Whether you’re a writer, entrepreneur, designer, or just someone with something to say, the last thing you want is to get stuck fiddling with themes, plugins, and backend settings. That’s exactly why Typely exists — a clean, distraction-free platform built on the powerful open-source Ghost engine, purposefully designed to help you start writing in minutes, not days.
Why Blogging Still Matters
Blogging remains one of the most powerful tools on the internet. It’s a personal publishing tool, a business asset, a way to build a community, and increasingly, a primary income stream for creators. In the age of short attention spans and social media noise, a well-crafted blog helps you own your platform, control your audience, and express yourself with depth.
But the traditional route to starting a blog can be overwhelming — choose a CMS, find a hosting provider, configure DNS, pick a theme, install updates… the list goes on.
Enter Typely: Simplicity Meets Power
Typely takes the headache out of blogging. Built on Ghost, a modern publishing platform designed for writers and creators, Typely offers a fully-managed experience. That means:
• ⚡ No setup headaches
• 💻 No servers to configure
• 🎨 No plugins to wrangle
• 🧠 No need to understand code
Everything just works.
All you need to do is sign up, pick a name for your blog, and start writing.

1. Sign Up
Go to typely.blog, and click on Get Started. You’ll be asked to create an account — no credit card required to begin.
2. Choose Your Blog Name

Change your blog’s theme, add your logo, write an “About” page, or connect your newsletter. But the beauty of Typely is you don’t need to do any of this to get started.
