Make Money by Blogging or Creating a Website

You can make money by blogging or creating a website online. In fact, if you really want to make some money online; you MUST have a blog or a website. If you want to tote around affiliate links without a base for them, you will make some money if you work very hard, but the key to really making money online is to have a blog or a website (a website is going to do better).

Blogs and websites should be focused on a particular theme or niche. I think this is the most confusing part for people. It gets even more confusing if you have no idea how to blog or how to build a website. If you want to learn how to blog, there is some really great information at How to Make Money Online for Beginners. This information is free and is presented in 5 lessons. This is the blog I used to learn how to blog. The writer is a phenomenal writer by the name of Grizzly who has a very large following. He is extremely informative and his material is very easy to understand.

I said earlier that a website is going to do better than a blog. What I forgot to mention is that blogs will do fine with a simple content site, but if you want to build a long-term money-making business, you need a website. As a point of interest, with blogs you should post to them daily to rank well in the search engines; while with websites you should focus on posting 2 articles a week to achieve optimal rankings. Also, research has shown that blog readers typically read the first 3 postings to a blog, whereas with websites people typically explore them. Any article I work really hard on, I am not going to put into a blog because I know that once I get to my 4th or 5th posting, most people will never see that article again.

How do I know this? I use a great service to build websites that is loaded with information on everything you can think about websites and blogging. In fact, I think it could be the best service available online; especially for people who have no idea how to put together a website (like myself). If you are trying to figure out if you would like to blog or build a website, please CLICK HERE to view a very informative article produced by the website service I use, SiteSell. If you would like to use the SiteSell service to build a website, there should be a link in the article if you want to use their service. I bought my site from them for $300 and right now they have it on sale for $100 until July 6th, so jump on it if you want to do it. These guys are the tops and will provide you with all the tools you need (niche identifier, keyword tools, search engine submissions, and so much more) to get your site to the top of the search engines.

The bottom line is that if you really want to make money online, you have to have a blog or website. If I want a site just based on a simple concept, maybe an affilate program I am in, I am going to go to blog, but if I have a topic with many lefts and rights, I am going to go to a website.
