The Predicaments with Running an Amateur Blog

Blogging platforms like Blogger, WordPress, Medium and even Tumblr are good places to get started for free if you’re still a novice in the blogging world. You’re allowed to publish posts and get your voice heard without having to look out on the restrictions of a financial hurdle. However, these types of blogging platforms aren’t what you need to run an expert business blog.

Blogs that are run on someone else’s blogging platform or such that aren’t real sites are hard to monetize. And that means you’re not going to profit from affiliate marketing, advertising, sponsorships, and, of course, your personal products.

It’s evident that by running a free blog, you won’t likely be able to grow a mailing list which is a vital instrument in coming up with a successful online business. You’ll have certain restrictions to what you can do with your website’s SEO, functionality and theme.
