Deciding
Which Blogging
Platform To Use
For
those just starting out in the blogging business, you're
probably wondering which site is best to start your blog
with. The three most popular blogging sites that most bloggers
choose for their business needs are Blogger, Word Press
and Live Journal.
Not
all blogging sites are good for advertisements, so you'll
want to check each one out. Here's a short comparison of
the three sites listed here to help you choose what's best
for you and your niche:
Blogger:
This is usually the choice for beginners because its the
easiest one of the three to set up. Simply sign up for an
account and they take you step by step through the process
of getting a blog started.
Blogger
is affiliated with Google, so even signing up for Adsense
is extremely easy to do. They walk you through that as well.
They don't have as many blog templates to choose from as
the others do, but this site is definitely recommended for
those with no blogging experience who want to get started
with minimum hassle.
Word
Press: This site is a little more complicated to
start a blog with. They still walk you through the setting
up process, but there's a little more to their set up than
with Blogger. Word Press allows you to export their blogs
to your domain, so marketers who've blogged a little while
can move their blogs when they're comfortable doing so.
Word
Press offers plenty of different blog templates to choose
from and many people create free templates you can download
as long as the bottom of the blog gives them credit. This
is perfect because when you're promoting to a niche audience,
the theme can set the tone and authority of the site for
the reader.
Live
Journal: This is an excellent community driven
blogging site. It offers a free account to blog with as
well as a paid account option. Unfortunately, you have to
upgrade to a paid account to use most of its features.
Ads
are a paid account benefit, so this option isn't the best
choice for making money from ads with little to no start
up cost. Advertisers can pay you to place ads on your blog
if you have a paid account.
The
free account is good for use as a networking tool to get
others to visit your blog on another site where you could
make money. Consider it a "feeder blog" that funnels
readers through to another destination.
There
are many other blogging sites out there to choose from,
but most offer paid accounts to utilize the best services
they have. Going with a free account now is the best option
when you want to keep costs low and earning potential high.
You
can always upgrade later on and get a paid account with
one of the other sites. Be sure to research those sites
to determine which one offers what you need. Whether you're
a newbie starting out or an intermediate to advanced blogger,
these sites give you the best opportunities for making money
online.

you are looking for products to sell on your own
website and keep all of the profits you should check
