Hi,

I'm new to blogging, i am looking to use it to promote my business as well. As there are so many blog platforms to choose from (blogger, wordpress etc), In your opinions, which is the best blog platform to make money?

thanks

Blog platforms don't make money. Marketing makes money. Just pick a platform (blogger or wordpress) and start researching how to modify the design.

Best of luck to you!

I have tried several different blog services, of the free ones I recommend <snipped> I think its a fairly new site, but the thing that is great about <snipped> is they allow you to create a Google Adsense account from their site. They also encourage business to blog on their site for free.

you wont beat wordpress but it takes alot more work to set up one and get some great results....if you have a good webdesigner use him

good luck.

Yeah, blog platform doesn't make you money. It only help you to handle your blog easily.

Personally I will recommend you to use wordpress. Then choose a topic that you love and start writing some good content in it. Spend some time every day in marketing too. this is a proven but general tips on make money from blogging.

There are a bunch of plugins for Wordpress aimed at helping to make you more money, but they won't do anything if you don't have a site worth using.

Blogger and Wordpress are the best blog sites I've used. In my opinion I think they're the best

It would be best to buy a domain, get hosting and use wordpress.org. But blogger is probably the best free site.

Getting the blog is the easy part, once you have it you must posting frequently and consistently. You have to be blogging about something you like/have interest in otherwise you will tire of it very quickly and end up giving up.

Networking with other blogs by posting comments and advice is a decent way to begin marketing and getting traffic.

best of luck

Blogspot is nice way to start but its little tricky. You can start with wordpress which is very easy to use.

Haha, just pick either one and start it and build ur network

I wouldn't choose a free blog mainly because if it goes well and you want to move it you'll lose all your good work with a new domain.

Can we get a snip and a ban? This guy has put this exact post up on at least 3 other forums.

Hopefully we have help Rodd out?/

Platform doesnt make money, but marketing and a great theme do.
People like stylish. Think herd mentality.
If it looks good, if it looks professional, then people will buy it.
Wordpress is better in that way compared to blogger. More professional and more customizable.
