Website or a blogspot

Many starters who are planning to earn money online, think on where should they start? Whether they should create a blog or should go for a regular website. Both of these types have their own pros and cons. But what is the biggest difference in them?

In my opinion, there are two major differences.

First, its easier to get traffic to a blog as compared to a regular websites. This is due to the pinging facility of the blog softwares (like Wordpress) which pings various search engines and other ‘blog post accumulator’ websites. This brings “some” traffic to your blog even if you don’t have a single back-link pointing to it. This facility is not there in the case of a website. You need to have back-links to your site so that search engines can find you and rank you appropriately.

The second difference is that that you can always take that long break from your work in case of the website, as it may not need that much regular updates. But in the case of a blog, you have to update it regularly. If you take that sort of long breaks (I am telling you from my experience, ha ha ha!) from your blog, people are going to get angry. Not only that, the traffic from search engines also drops, since search engines expect new posts from the blogs once a while.

So what is the best choice for you as a starter?

Want to earn through blogging

I started blogging about 9 months ago, back then I didn’t even knew what to blog about, but then my cousin told me that I could earn uber amounts of cash via blogging…and I learned that it was not an easy task for a newbie freelance blogger like myself to be a Pro-blogger ( which is Professional blogger getting paid online) so it’s not only about blogging about what I like, it’s about thinking of ways how I can earn by blogging and actually having fun doing it.

Well first of all I started first on focusing on the important part… What is a blog? we all know what a blog is… we could say that it is a collection of your thoughts and ideas written in a conversational manner on every article that has a bit of your personality stamped in it.

What to blog about? depends on what the type of blog you want to represent… if you want your blog to technical then write about technical stuffs write about Windows Vista or Firefox, or about new gadgets and newly discovered technologies or a gaming blog then write about new releases of games new, cheats, walkthroughs and such on the hottest consoles on the market such as Wii, PS3, PS2, Xbox 360,Nintendo DS, PSP and such.

And then focus on making people come to your site and read your articles which is better than earning money through blogging. I was asked a question how to earn through blogs, well, based on my experience I started blogging through Payperpost, Blogsvertise , which are good for startup bloggers (but remember your blogsite must have at least 10 posts or more to be accepted) and Sponsoredreviews. Check these sites out if you get accepted you can earn as much as $10-20 per post.

Aside from that getting a break by being asked to blog at Xboxdream, PCExtreme, Gadzooki, and Blog-Tutorials which has been a steady flow income and I’m thankful for that.

Earning through blogging is very hard and may take a while if you don’t have the commitment and time, you won’t last a month just blogging for a living… after all success doesn’t come overnight. I wanted to quit blogging dozens of times because I wasn’t earning enough to live a normal life… hehehe…there are lots of ways to earn via blogging… here are some on them.

So here are the options you can choose to earn via blogging
Payperpost
blogsvertise
Sponsoredreviews
Blogtoprofit

Aside from blogging you can earn via Affiliates and Ads
Google Adsense and referrals
Text-link Ads
Amazon Affiliates

Earn with smorty

My inbox was overloading with mails from small/new bloggers asking can they make money out of their new/small blog.As we all know Payperpost requires a blog to have a decent pagerank, but that is so not possible for a blogger who has just started.


If you are one of the blogger who's site is read by a wide audience despite the fact that your Alexa score is high and PR still 0, you can still get paid for blogging by a service called Smorty.

Smorty is a blog advertising service from where advertisers can advertise on blogs via sponsored posts but pay the blogger only when they find it of decent quality .The best part is that its still a new organization, so there isn't much flooding of bloggers and competition is not that stiff as on PayPerPost.Your blog can easily make most of out it.You do a honest sponsored post, your post is approved and then money in your PayPal account.Price of an average post is 6$.That means for one sponsored post you get 6 $ within a week and you are free to use that E-money for anything you like.

Unlike Adsense,
There is no minimum paying amount which is beneficial for small bloggers who's Adsense earnings take months to reach the 100 $ mark.Another interesting thing is that your blog is approved within hours.Now no need to wait days for getting blog approved.So what are you waiting for? blog for money!
