So, do you know why people create websites and blogs?
Of course, for the purpose of delivering the information that the Internet users seek.
Yet, maintaining a website is not an easy task, so everyone is trying to make a profit off their blogs or websites. However, for the webmaster the website is mostly a source of the income, while a blog is also a hobby, which eventually feeds its owner.
It is also typical for the webmaster to have multiple websites, not necessarily understanding the subject matter, while the blogger has only one blog.
The owner of the websites can order the articles from freelance copywriters, while the blogger writes all the articles himself.
By the way, the writing style of the articles is another difference yet to mention. As a rule, website articles are written in a professional language, while the blogger is trying to present any information in a simple language.
Also, a few words about the visitors.
Yes, each site has a constant readership, but on the blog there is a lot more visitors, since the blog is uniting people with common interests, while the website audience finds the information and then never comes back there again.
I guess these are all the differences that I would highlight between a blog and a website.

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.
