Creating a duplicate blog under wordpress.com
I’ve noticed a few people mention this, and we see that our competitors did something like this years ago when they started. Do you feel that it would be worth it for a new home service to create ourcompany.wordpress.com and duplicate our blog content over to it as well as ourcompany.blogger.com. Is this considered duplicate content?

If you have a blog on original site , you do not need to create it somewhere elsewhere, blogs are like standing in a roomful of people and speaking about the things you are good at, which let people know you are expert in the subject matter and should buy stuff from him,
Focus on delivering value to your readers and share it in similar networks like facebook group, Reddit and forums and people will read.
Find out where your target customers hangout online and share it there -
Not a sensible solution, as it creates duplicate content, which will get you a hit for SEO plagiarism (unless you non-indexed the whole site).
Best solutions?
Back up your website and database files regularly. Either as a local copy, or a cloud drive.
Use managed WordPress hosting, which backs up every 24 hours. This also enables a staging area, where you can make changes to the site without doing it live, then duplicating it over to the live site when you’re done.
Either one’s of these is a better idea than creating a copy online that’s live, anywhere.
Also, the only time you should use sub domains, is for tracking, or different sections of the website, like eCommerce, when the rest of the site is a blog

What you’re proposing doing is not a wise move. In my opinion, I don’t see any gain. Only one website will receive the traffic. It’s the definition of duplicate content.
Duplicate content refers to substantial blocks of content that appear in more than one place on the Internet, either within the same website or across different websites. These blocks of content are considered identical or very similar to each other. Duplicate content can be problematic for search engine optimization (SEO) because search engines like Google prefer to show unique and valuable content to users.
When search engines encounter duplicate content, they may not know which version to index or display in search results, which can lead to a lower ranking for both the original and duplicate content. To avoid these issues, it is essential to create unique, high-quality content and use canonical tags or 301 redirects to consolidate duplicate content when necessary.
If you’re going to invest time & money creating content, why would you do it on a domain owned by WordPress.com or Blogger.com? It doesn’t make sense. Instead, purchase a domain that represents your brand and hosts it on your own domain.

I wholeheartedly recommend staying away from WordPress.com. It’s a sleazy hosting company. You’ll be much better off self hosting a WordPress site. WordPress itself is free and open source.
