Why Start Your Own Blog Website?

63

By Michael Guerin

Today it REALLY IS super easy to get online, provided you decide to start your own blog website versus setting up a traditional site.

Why is that?

Because having your own blog site allows you to finally have a website that:

  1. YOU own
  2. You LIKE & control
  3. You can AFFORD.

So before helping you discover how to set up your own website, let's review the key differences between...

"Traditional" Website vs. Blog Websites

So maybe you’re asking yourself, what’s the difference between a “blog” and “traditional” website?

After all, a website is better than a blog, isn’t it?

And if not, how are they "different?"

Let me tell you something, there is a BIG difference between a “traditional” website with individual pages all hand crafted and made to order.

Then there is a Blog website that does most of the heavy lifting for you.

When it comes to traditional websites they take very long to make. For example,

my first attempt at getting online back in 2007 cost me $800 (I hired someone) and 7 months later still no webiste. Ouch!

What's worse, only highly skilled individuals (web developers) are usually capable of creating a truly marvelous website just for you.

Think CUSTOM. And that word (and their "effort") brings with it a pretty hefty price tag.

How much? Well, depending on what you want (or need) for your site, anywhere from $500 (on the low end) to several thousand dollars on the high end.

And if that's not enough to give you sticker shock at shelling that much money for something on a computer screen. Not to mention the “time to build” factor.

To create one of these glorious hand made websites takes weeks of effort and creative sweat to concoct a vision of beauty that justifies the time and expense to give birth to such a thing.

And guess what?

You still don’t know what you can or CAN’T do, add, or modify it without it costing you an arm or a leg. That’s after its paid for in the first place.

However, there is an alternative…

Why Not Set Up a Blog Website

One option that is much easier to use, much more affordable, and ready to go right out of the box is a blog website.

You can either learn how to set up your own blog site, or have someone set it up for you.

Either way it will take less time and much less money than getting a custom site.

What's even better is the fact that with a blog you have the ability to do things that a regular website struggles with, like adding new copy to your website.

Plus, the system keeps track of ALL your changes so that you can UNDO what went wrong.

And making your website look like a whole new website in under 10 minutes flat! Just by changing out the theme.

Because all the HARD work has already been done.

All those dynamic programs, all the features, utilities and other stuff you never want to hear about let alone learn the hard way that your website can’t even change its copy without taking days for your web developer to getting around to it.

Can you begin to imagine the possibilities here.

With your own URL and blog site, you can add, change, edit content as easy as writing a note. It really can be that simple to use.

Heck, if I can figure it out, anyone can.
