(Page 1 of 4 )

You've made the decision to start a professional blog. Now you have another decision to make: which platform should you use? This article weighs two of the most popular blogging platforms to help you choose which one will work best for your business goals.

You have decided to base your business model, or just make some extra cash, by joining ranks of bloggers. That means that you will need to create a professional blog. Maybe it is simply to reach out to potential customers and make them aware or your brand. Maybe you are trying to convert viewers into buyers. Maybe, you just want to give your professional opinion.

Either way, you have already put yourself above the majority of personal bloggers. Rather than just picking a platform at random and beginning to write, you have decided to do some research first. That gives you a distinct advantage.

You can get the best platform for your needs, and wants. That is why today we are going to look at two of your options, Blogger and WordPress. That way you can decide for yourself which platform is right for you.

Why Blogger and WordPress? Aren't there other options for professional level bloggers?

Yes, there are other options for bloggers. You could use services like Moveable Type or Type Pad, but Blogger and WordPress are two of the largest blogging platforms on the planet. Most people have heard of them, even if they do not happen to own a blog. That means you can draw in some traffic, simply by using their hosting. That gives you the ability to get some initial traffic from that community.

The question is, which one of these titans of the digital publishing world is right for you? It is not always an easy decision to make, which is why today we are going to look at some of the factors that will help you with your decision. Then you can make one that is based on facts, and not the half truths that fan boys give you.
