Standard blog vs Profitable blog

We’ve seen the growth of blogs and what they are. Nowadays their proliferation is something undeniable. With the huge amount of blogs that we see today, over 100 million of them, we can say almost anybody can have a blog. But, we would say, if normally blogs are the same, technology is the same, designers are the same, how can we distinguish between a standard blog vs profitable blog? The answer to that question is outlined below.

Now, some important points to know are…

• Blog platforms are easy to use. Simply write your thoughts, link to resources, and publish to your blog, all at the push of a few buttons.

• Blogging is a low-cost alternative to having a web presence. For small business owners without the time to learn web, HTML, CSS or the money to hire a designer/developer, blogging offers an inexpensive method to get your company’s name out on the Internet.

• Updating a blog is a much quicker process than contacting a web designer to make changes or work with the code.  You can do it by yourself.

• Business blogs provide your small business with a chance to share your expertise and knowledge with a larger audience. A powerful benefit for consultants and knowledge workers.

Now, it’s certainly true that you can create and maintain your personal blog or your business blog. But although anyone can use the Internet, or have a website, and with all the facilities that technology provides to have your blogs, never underestimate the power of a professional in this topic. Do almost anybody can have a blog? Yes. But, not everybody can have a profitable blog, one that pours money into his or her bank account on a constant way. Why? Because to do that, they need a lot of time, knowledge and a huge effort.

In another article, we said that Google and other search engines LOVE blogs! But in order to rank your site or blog, those search engines have rules and the normal business person normally don’t know those marketing and technical rules. Simply put: most of them don’t have the time, nor the knowledge. Why? Because that’s not their field.

Now, you must understand this:

Although all the above 4 points are true, there are other points to consider. It’s not the same to create a blog where we can post whatever we want, than to have a highly successful blog. Writing and posting “original” content in our blog requires that the writer has a vast knowledge and experience, or to have or pay someone that does. All good things in life takes time and this is not different.

Here we have the main differences between a Standard Blog and a Profitable Blog…
