Blogging can be great when you have lot of traffic on your blog and that require lot of hard work, you need to market your blog very well to earn much desired income from blogs and that's one of the great way to earn on-line But now which one is better between forums and blogging because then on forums you only need to join and spend some time typing as compared to blogs where you still want to make sure that your blog come on top and receive lot of traffic Which one do you think you can make lot of cash quickly?

These two of course go hand in hand. The reason is because you can get your blog views from the forum that you are working. And you can get information of getting more traffic by discussing with others in the forum. Ok coming to the comparison..... In blogging, you will have to work too hard to get traffic to your site. And once you get a good traffic, you can of course take rest. So if you work hard in the beginning you can rest in your future and of course the money you earn from blogging will be too good. In forums you will have to keep posting to get paid. You can never rest. This is also like working hard only. But it don't seem so because you enjoy discussing with others whereas in blogging, we have to do it as a work. Happy mylotting.

Haha. Ya you are right. Both of Course needs hard work. But if you just create a blog first and then move on to forums, then you can earn from your blogs as well even if you don't concentrate much. Forum signatures has some good effects man. The blog just needs a weekly update. You can concentrate on your forum while the blog also stays. Just another chance of earning right?? Lol.

Ahh! seems like they are all the same, in blogging you need to find a way of getting traffic to your site and that can take a long time for you get lot of people visiting your blog and when they finally do you at-least get to rest as you said but the hardest thing in blogging is to get more people visiting your blog and because you cannot force anyone to visit your site then everything seems like a 50/50 situation Now on forum you just have to post post and do more posting and that can be tiring unless you enjoy doing it as you said and too sad in forums that for you to earn you have to do some typing's everyday. Now the situation is, either you work hard to find people visiting your blog which in turn has to contain some good things or you spend most of your time at home typing on forums, i think this two things have one thing in common "hard work"

Ya of course you can't force people to visit. But there are people who are earning good amount from blogging. There are some sites where we can get traffic when we submit our blog. We can get those information in the forums and then use it for your blog.

I think if u are going to make a lot of cash quickly you are sadly misled. Any program that claims u can is a scam. If u find anything like that which actually works and pays out be sure to let me know.

Yes sites claiming that you can make quick cash are nothing but scams but what i really want to know is if you are into blogging and someone is into forum posting..who is going to make make quickly or who is going to get paid much better than the other? i know that if you have your own blog and you get lot of people visiting it then you will make lot of cash. But now how long will that take? do you think that someone who has been posting on forums will make money quick on-pline or you as the blogger will make the cash quick

I think blogging pays better if you are able to build an audience but that can be very difficult. You need a good way for people to discover your blog. If I knew how to make that happen I would probably be doing that.

I am not into blogging and don't even have an idea how to do it so I cannot really compare my friend. But from what you've described, it seems blogging will take more effort. So it seems like I will favor forums like what were are doing here at mylot!

I have few blogs and directing traffic to visit my blog is just a nightmare for me, i mean first of all you cannot force people to visit your blog and you need to put something attractive on that blog to keep people coming for more I never earn anything from those blogs i have and i do prefer forums because then i can spend the whole day knowing that the following day i will will smile when looking at the account updates

I don't think scribbling in forums can get u much cash if it is a genuine one like this.It can just be a petty sum at the end of the day. But blogging can of course fetch u more provided u really have some exclusive content in it & have the expertise to quickly market it on web. Obviously one of them counts out to be SEO.But luck surely plays a big role as far as link popularity is concerned.

I understand that but if we start today and you take the blogging site of things and i go for forums who do you think will have a little something by the end of the year? i mean blogging you still need to market your blog as you said and that can take a lot of time and you can take long to get paid there
