Blogging Is A Hobby But Website Is A Business?
Written by admin on May 6th, 2008 in Infopreneurship.
Where to start your business? blog or website the debate is still open. Yeh, the debate is still on and has taken a surprising turn as bigger companies have entered into this discussion. A new webpage Blog OR Build by Sitesell Says”Blogging is a hobby but website is a business”. The whole article is written with logic and facts but still we need to review the key points mentioned by Sitesell.
1) Content Is Not Organized
According to this article content of blogs is organized by post’s date and time so there is no continuity. For instance if you are providing information in step by step manner then it would be very hard for your readers to read all your tips because they will leave after reading the particular post and that’s why the bounce back time of blogs is much more higher then websites. This article also quotes Google where Google says” blogs deliver a poor quality visitor”.
Yeh, it’s very hard to organize your content for the maximum readership but still there are some techniques that bloggers are using for this purpose.
- Using Some Plugins
There are some plug-ins available that can show your related posts and related comments. I use similar posts plug-in for this purpose on my blogs.
- Inter-linking Your Articles
Another technique that can be used for this purpose is “Inter-linking of your Articles”. Most of the bloggers inter-link their related articles so that visitor can stay for a longer period of time but still all these methods have a lot of limitations.
2) A Monkey on Your Back
According to sitesell blog is “A Monkey on Your Back, It Wants To Be Fed Every Day, But We All Have Jobs and its Hard to Do”. Not only that this article also highlights the stress and anxiety issues that bloggers face. I agree with all those health points mentioned in this article. I can’t say that these issues are not there in case of a website but once you have sufficient content on your website then you can relax a little bit for some time or even until new issue in your niche arises but in blogging your mind always remain in stress as you have to write your next post otherwise search engine will be ready to ignore you.
Blog VS Website?
There are a lot of people who have turned their blogs into a profitable infopreneurial ventures but still website has its own dimensions .Almost every infopreneurs starts their businesses with websites then later on they also blog occasionally. I don’t know why Sitesell has written this article? because according to me there is nothing that could compete with SBI for infopreneurship. Although like every successful infopreneurs you can install blog or even forums on the same hosting but at the starting level you have to consider one of these options
