Working at Home on the Internet

Blog vs. Website

This morning I visited the Work at Home Forum. One of the questions asked was: “What is the difference between Blogging and having a Website”.
The biggest difference between the two is one is Dynamic and the other is Static. I think you can guess which is which.

Blogging is the Dynamic choice for someone who has something to say, sell or portray. Once you start a Blog it is best to try to update it every day. That way you can build a readership and potential customers since that should be your objective. You want to keep to the subject matter as much as possible. Put a link to anything you find that is pertinent to your content (just don’t over do it). If you DO have a Website, make sure to put a link to it in an accessible spot on the Blog so that people can see your main products and services.

A Website is Static. This is where you actually describe your products and/or services. You can update a website as often as you like, but this is usually only done if your products change, you have a Sale, or something of that nature. You should have a link to your Blog on this site to allow customers to get updates as often as you post them.

If you have both Blog and Website, use them in conjunction with each other. Make sure people can find both as easily as possible. If you use RSS and Blog Feeds, list each in the appropriate catagory, the more exposure the better.

Remember, BOTH could have a place in your plan for Working at Home. Optimize your use of the Internet for your Business.

Share Your Work at Home Story

I write each post to be as informative as possible. Unfortunately, they are pretty much one sided. You get only my point of view, from my personal experiences.

There are many other ways of Working at Home with which I have either limited or no experience.

Some examples:

I am a guy, so I have no idea what it is like to be a Work at Home Mom.

I have tried the survey circuit, and it just didn’t fit my personality.

Neither did Auto-surfing, MSM, Pay to read E-mail or selling affiliate programs.

I settled on trying to find the best and most cost effective ways to Work at Home for myself, and share them with you.

So, if you would like to share your experiences Working at Home, good, bad, funny, just click on the “Share Your Work at Home Story” link in the sidebar to send an E-mail with your idea.

This could be a good way for you to bring exposure to your own site and to help someone else trying to start a Work at Home Business.

I had written a limited comparison of Blogs vs Websites** in December, and did get some response on the subject. Tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday I will present a more detailed comparison to give you a better idea of which may be better for your purposes.

I would appreciate your input/feedback on the subject in order to give the best information possible to those who need it.
