Blogging is used in several different ways. It is so popular that it has become the best way to express yourself in any forum. There are blogs for almost every topic you can think of! Just this morning, I found a blog about messed-up cakes… it was hilarious!

Many bloggers also set up their sites to earn a living with it, either by directly selling products or selling advertising and using AdSense.

When deciding on Blogger or WordPress, you must determine what you use your blog for. This is the deciding factor when deciding which platform to use.

Blogger or WordPress: The Comparison

First, I’m referring to WordPress.org, where you buy the hosting and install the program. One problem with using WordPress is that it is a little more technical to set up and maintain than a Blogger site. However, thousands of tutorials worldwide can show you how to deal with problems as they arise. And after a while, you’ll thoroughly understand how to use it.

With Blogger, it’s much more plug-and-play. You fill out some information about yourself, and you can start posting. Almost that fast, too!

However, two important debates exist regarding the issue of Blogger or WordPress. The first is the domain name. With WordPress, you can purchase your domain, which can be whatever you want. With Blogger, your domain will have the word “blog spot” as in your field—blog spot.com.

The second issue is that you don’t own your Blogger site. If you break some silly rule for someone or for whatever arbitrary reason Google comes up with, your blog could be taken down.

With WordPress, you host it on a 3rd party site and own the domain. Essentially, the site is yours and cannot be taken down.

I have also noticed that WordPress tends to rank better on Google. I’ve had dozens of posts show up on the front page of Google when Blogger sites are nowhere to be seen.

Blogger Or WordPress: When To Use Each

Blogger is fantastic for two things. Anyone who wants to share their thoughts with the world for fun should use Blogger. In this case, setting up a WordPress site is probably not worth the hassle. If you’re barely starting a business and don’t have any time or money to work with WordPress, you can use it for a little while.

However, when using your blog to make an income, I highly suggest using WordPress. The domain name looks much more professional, and you don’t want your blog shut down for some dumb reason when it’s making you good money.

Once you’ve learned the basics of setting up your site, you can charge to set up other WordPress sites! This is a great way to earn fast, easy money.

As you can probably tell, this Blogger or WordPress debate is easy for me. The hands-down winner is WordPress. Even though it costs a little money, it’s only about eight bucks a month. It can be a little work, but it’s not hard to find sources on the Internet to help you.
