It’s always difficult to choose the ideal blogging platform when you are a beginner. Even after doing months and weeks of research online, you still might have no clue where to start writing. And then most of us will end up taking a wrong decision and we will eventually mess up. Today, I will be introducing you guys into different types of blogging platforms, their payout rates, content, etc. Always remember before choosing a platform there are a couple of things you have to consider…

• How long are you willing to wait?

• How much do you want to earn?

• What do you want to write?

• How much will you grade your article on a scale of 1 to 10?

• Is the platform user friendly?

• And most importantly, will you have complete ownership over your content?

Ok with that out of the way, let’s get into the first two types of platform:

1. Your Very Own Platform:

This is a very popular way of blogging. These platforms will definitely work out for you, if you are willing to wait for some time and if you could easily spread word. Here, you will be creating your own blogging platforms with the help of some free to use websites. The monetization opportunities here are endless but the only problem here is that you will need to wait for some time until your platform becomes famous and you can start earning big bucks. The concept is simple, once you create your platform and you put up your blog, say, how to make a cake, your blog will be available to anyone on the web. So, if someone searches online for how to make a cake, your website will pop-up as results. But the problem here, is that your blog will probably end up in the fourth or fifth page of that person’s search results and the chances of viewing your article is really low. But like I said the monetization opportunities here are endless, you could place ads, get people to promote their products, sell your own products, affiliate marketing, etc. Moreover you have complete freedom and rights over your content. Some pretty good websites for making your own platform are:

• Wordpress

• Blogger

  • Ghost, etc.

2. Get Paid For Reads:

This is also a popular method of writing, and you don’t have to wait long. There are some already established sites where you can make an account and write and article. The website itself pay you for the number of reads you get. There aren’t much monetization options here as many of the websites don’t allow third-party promotion. But if you are good writer, you can easily earn here and many of the websites pay not only for reads but they also give you an occasional bonus. Making an account in these sites is very easy and you can get started instantly. Personally, I suggest this method for all bloggers out there if you are beginner as this gives you a good base and later you can either continue this method or you could do the first method and easily get tons of readers. Because if you are good, you can easily become an established writer in one of these websites and later you can divert your readers and followers onto your own website. Also, you can promote your own stuff like books and merchandise, once you are an established writer. The really good websites for this kind of thing are:

• Vocal

• Medium

• Newsbreak, etc.

Hope you liked my article so far. There are two more types of blogging platforms which I will be covering on the next article. So, make sure you read the next article which I will be putting soon and please, please, please drop a like.

See ya!!!
