Tips For Making Money Online Blogging – Part 8
Google Blogger
Blogger is very user friendly and free, allowing you to create a blog in a few simple steps, customise the look of your blog and acquire traffic from being part of the bigger blogger network. You can strategically use Google Blogger as a tool to increase your blog’s popularity. You need to set up an Account with Google.com and set up a new blog in Google Blogger. Google Blogger allows you to use a selection of different templates which you can change.
Google Blogger has a great WYSIWYG editor to make posting easy. You don’t have to worry about writing any code or installing any kind of server software or scripts. You can customise the look and feel of your blog through a number of tools Blogger makes available. You can create multiple Blogs and manage them via a dashboard which lists your blogs. You can also easily add video and image uploads to your blog with user-friendly tools.
Blogs developed using the blogger software program are free, however they display a bar at the top of the page incorporating the Blogger logo and links to other blogs which may not be appropriate for your audience. Another perceived shortcoming associated with blogs hosted by Blogger\.com is the allocation of the URL extension of Blogspot.com following your domain name.
Blogger.com automatically integrates with the Google Adsense program so that Bloggers can make money online from the start of their blogging endeavours. Bloggers who elect to use the software are not restricted in that they are also at liberty to edit their blog’s code so as to include advertising from other companies.
WordPress
WordPress is another attractive and popular Free Blogging software system available to bloggers to use. You need to distinguish between the two forms of wordpress. WordPress.com is a form of open source software which bloggers can use and adapt to their needs to develop blogs.
WordPress.org is a content management system or software which bloggers can use to create a blog but wordpress.org will not host a blog on the internet and bloggers will need to use a paid webhost provider to acquire a domain name and install the wordpress software in order to host their Blog Online. However once installed the wordpress software does offer a variety of benefits such as plugins and options to customise your blog.
WordPress.org offers bloggers a number of benefits. Even though it requires some technical knowledge it offers a simple interface and is relatively user friendly option for those who are not technically literate to start blogs. There are a variety of attractive features such as customised wordpress themes, stats trackers, tagging, sidebar widgets, plugins to name a few. The wordpress community offers a lot of support and wordpress.org, unlike wordpress.com permits advertising.
One of the critical features which bloggers wanting to make money online blogging need to be aware of when considering using wordpress.com is that it prohibits bloggers incorporating advertisements of any type. You therefore cannot monetise your free WordPress blog using advertising.
CONCLUSION
Beginner bloggers may choose to commence using Blogger.com as it is free, versatile and allows bloggers to experiment trying to make money online blogging using advertisements. For bloggers who desire a little more advanced customization and features and are prepared to pay for hosting and a domain name, wordpress.org is an attractive open source software product.
