Making Money With A Website Or Blog
One of the biggest questions I get from those new to the world of online money is whether a person should start with a website or a blog. Both of these have a great income potential and are very different on what they need to stay functioning. I have found it easy both with a website and a blog to reach the top of Google though through different ways. I usually tell people it comes down to three important aspects the first being how much experience and knowledge they have of online business, second how much time are they willing to spend on their online endeavors, and finally how much if any money they are willing to spend on marketing.
Lets first discuss the experience and how it plays in when trying to pick between a blog and a website. The main difference between a blog and a website is the automation which a blog allows. It took me a solid year before being able to write html, css, and other online codes fluently and will probably take you around the same time before you are able to write code and build a website. With a blog you only need to set up a url, put a title to your post, and write a few paragraphs then hit publish and you have your online presence up and running. Now with a blog you lack quite a bit of control over how your blog is displayed until you gain a grasp over the web language, but it is very easy to set a blog up and being your online presence.
The second aspect is time and is the most crucial of all the steps. Both a website and a blog take an immense amount of time and work before you will see a pay off. From my experience a blog takes about twice as much time compared with a website. This is because you will need to write regularly rather than being able to build it then spend 100% of time on marketing. So if you are going to be hard up for time you should probably take the time to learn HTML basics and build a website. It may be more static, but the income generated will not suffer.
If you don’t have time or experience and are not wanting to give much time then money will be able to compensate. There are many different programs out there such as Microsoft front page and adobe dreamweaver which will allow you to without any experience build and upload a website or page to the web. You can also buy links or spend your money on PPC. Personally I cannot give good advice on where to spend your money since everything thus far online I have done free and plan on continually generating income without spending a dime.
