Which blogging platform is the best? Wordpress or Blogger? This is a debate that has been on for long. As a newbie online, I have discovered that each blogging platform has its own distinct advantage over the other.
For starter, Blogger platform is easier on the newbie. You don't need to know technical stuff before you can have a beautiful looking site and start earning income online. The reverse is the case for Wordpress. You must be committed to long-term learning except you have fund to employ the service of professionals.
Wordpress Blogs hosted freely on Wordpress.com do not permit bloggers to advertise. How else can one learn a trade if there is no hands-on experience. The Blogger cares less about what you want to advertise. As long as you are not engage in Adult content (so the service Agreement reads) even though some bloggers still violate this subtly.
When it comes to professional self-hosted blogs, then the table turns, blogs using WordPress have tons of addons which makes them look more professional and sophisticated unlike their blogger counterparts that are limited in features.
My conclusion is this. If you are a newbie blogger and you intend making money from your blogging activities now or in the future, then you are better off starting on Blogger. Immediately you have garner enough experience or earned $100, then I will recommend you buy yourself a domain name and a hosting plan. That way, you will not wake up one morning and discover that your website has ceased to exist because it has been shut down!
By the way, I discovered today that while it is easy to migrate from Blogger to Wordpress, the reverse is the case if you want to migrate from Wordpress to Blogger. I wonder why Google does not have a solution for its subscribers to import their posts from Wordpress platform into their blogger accounts. If you have a solution to this issue, kindly post it in a comment. Thanks.
