A Blog versus a Website. Can you tell the difference?
Before I move to how to start blogging for income, I want to address the elephant in the room. People often confuse a website and a blog. The first question that gets asked very often by newbies is “What’s better, a blog or website?”
They are, in fact, the same thing and it’s difficult to draw a line to separate them. I usually go by the things they offer.
What’s better a Blog or Website?
- Websites have more ‘pages’, whereas blogs have more ‘posts.’
- Companies sell through websites, while people and companies share on blogs.
- Both blogs and websites can be for making money. People create both websites and blogs with a single purpose of sharing information with the audience.
- A blog is a kind of online diary that absolutely everyone can read and use informal language.
A blog is a website that is updated on a regular basis. Typically it’s written with informal language to initiate a conversation between the blogger and the audience.
For your audience (visitors) to be involved in a conversation, use words “you” and “I” within your blog posts. To initiate that conversation, always ask questions at the end of every blog posts.
Bloggers should always keep their audience in mind. The next thing, I’m focusing on is how to choose your perfect niche and how it works.
