In this tutorial, I would like to talk about the difference between a blog and a website.
When internet users discover that it is possible to make money running their own blog or website, most of them decide to absolutely do it.
(By the way, for those who are new here, the Wealthy Affiliate community is a wonderful place to start with. Not only it helps you with technical aspects of website-building but you also get to connect with amazing, like-minded individuals).
The first question that may arise before they go directly to the process of creating a website is “What’s better: a blog or website?”
It’s impossible to give an exact answer to this question, but it’s possible to consider the pros and cons of each, as well as examine their differences. And that’s what this tutorial will be about.

Although one thing stands out for me... I have websites in different niches (4 in total) and I will be adding more in the future. So I will be a blogger with more than one blog :)
I love your article – it’s very well written and easy to read due to the well thought layout.
I used to think that blog and website is actually one but thanks for you article which bring clarity. Thanks for writing this article.
I wish you best of luck.
So and newcomers can see what can really happen I've simply used my own experiences using WA since Sept 2015 to see if WA works as I have commercial experience of shopping cart systems and sites.
I use both types of website (eStore AND Blog via WA training - 1 for selling and 1 for blogging - giving extra info, chatting with visitors and as a kind of diary as you say here.
With a little care different types of site can be easily linked and support each other. Online shops can sell products faster but need so much work it sometimes takes a couple of people to run shop type sites at least. And there's advertising fees involved.
With a blog I can give a great deal of info, advice etc and build audience trust. I found personally that adding 3-4 articles to a my new blog site each week for 3 months then started to generate and grow revenue from the blog site with no advertising fees. I have personally seen blog site sales start after 3 months this year.
It is important to understand the difference from the beginning if possible as this can save a lot of redesign work later.
Many thanks for showing us this - all the very best - Andre.
