Choosing a blogging platform can be confusing, especially if you are just learning how to blog. Picking the right blog to earn money is important as a blogging platform that is too advanced might deter you from blogging. So which blog should you chose? This article will describe the benefits of using the top two blogging platforms: Word Press and Blogger.

Blogger is a completely free platform. You have the opportunity to sign up for as many domain names as you want. Blogger is good for beginners because you can “test” out domain names until you find the right one.

Beginners can get accustomed to Blogger very easily. You can post your first article in a matter of minutes and most templates are easy to customize (changing colors/font size). Navigating the blog is “dummy” proof and even the most computer illiterate person can use this platform.

Word Press (WP) has many more options compared to Blogger. However, you must know some html or css if you are going to get the overall benefit of WP. There are an abundance of widgets to choose from as well as search engine optimization (SEO) tools. Many of the themes come automatically SEO prepared.

In conclusion, if you want a free blog that is easy to use and beginner friendly, choose Blogger. If you want more options and know a little bit about html and css, choose Word Press. Also, most people who use Word Press put money into their blogs by purchasing a domain name and hosting.
