How to make $20-$100 daily with a self-hosted wordpress site?

The BEST, if that's what you're looking for, is a self-hosted site using Wordpress.

No sure exactly what you mean by 'safe' but if you're looking to write about whatever you want without any penalty, you want a self-hosted account.

Homebuz,

Why live in an apartment, when you can have a beachfront pad of your own?

What I mean is, for traffic and SEO or anything else that's significant to an online business presence -- Why not get a good domain, a good hosting account with a good provider, install WordPress or any CMS that you want, set up a good site and configure your site and your host server the way you please?

When I switched from a free blog to a self-hosted Wordpress website some 6 years ago, I noticed a noticeable increase in traffic without additional effort to increase traffic. I'm no SEO guru but have heard that the way self-hosted Wordpress blogs are built is very search-engine friendly.

surely its Wordpress is the best and most secure also . every 5th site on this planet is powered by wordpress so you should know how good is wordpress so go with it ...also install cloudflare for more speed and protection ...

Wordpress is the best IMO.
I hightly recommend that you use wordpress on your own domain and hosting

For starting Blogger is ideal, but later Wordpress is the most recommended of course.

It is always best to go for self hosting using the Wordpress platform. Blogger is great when you're jsut beginning, but if you post anything that is even remotely similar to another site, they can tear down your site in an instant.

With your own blog, you own it all. You also don't have to worry about following any rules where your site will be taken down for any random reason.

Blogger just look unprofessional. And Wordpress is more than just a mere blogging platform, it's a CMS. Wordpress offers way more flexibility.

Wordpress is great and you can also choose from a ton of different themes and plugins. I currently have 25 different plugins for everything from adding adsense to minimizing the size of your pictures to increase your site loading time

Successful blogging takes time, patience and perseverance.

Here are some tips:

1- Wordpress

2- Great content

3- Promote that content so that people can see it. Don't wait for search engines to 'give' you traffic. If you learn how to promote it properly in the beginning, then the search engines will reward you after.

4- What you know: Write about what you know and not about what you don't.

5- You need to enjoy this or else you will quit and waste all that initial time.

6- Pick a niche that you are knowledgeable and enjoy instead of picking a niche just for the money.

7- Write for your readers first and search engines second.

8- Learn how to 'give' before you get [make money]

Always use self-hosted Wordpress, there are so many things you need when running a blog and there's a plugin for just about anything.

When it comes to making money, here's some good advice: Focus on helping people out first, and the money issue will work itself out.

I first started with blogger too, but noticed that my site is having a hard time in ranking on Google. So I am transitioning to a self hosted wordpress site. Plus you have control of your site too!

I think the blogger is easy to use while the Wordpress is more attractive then the blogger. You can use anyone of them. Start working first, then you will guess automatically, how much money you should invest to reach your destination. what you should do & what you are doing. Thanks.

Money is 2nd part to make a successful blog.My first attention will be to write a compelling content which could give relevant traffic and ranking on search engines.

Then i will think to monetize my blog to earn money.If i would keep money in money then quality could be compromised.

I always recommend Wordpress, it's the best option you can go for. Self hosted, of course.
Using blogger to get the hang of blogging is fine, but if you want to be serious about it, switch to buying your own domain and hosting, you'll thank yourself later.

A selfhosted website will definitely increase traffic as compared to using a free blog website. After creating your website, you can install Wordpress and desing your site to look very SEO friendly

Blogger is a nice platform if you're a newbie in blogging world. But I would recommend you to use WordPress, install a nice looking decent theme and few SEO related plugins and you're good to go.

Thank you all for your beautiful responses. I will definitely try wordpress since it's better than blogger.

Without a doubt, Wordpress is your best option.

But don't use wordpress.com sites...

Use Wordpress-hosting on other hosts, so you can use plugins and other features

Wordpress is awesome! (Most flexibility, most options, best)

I used blogger when I first started out years ago.

Do the right thing and switch to WP. Paying $10 a month in the long run will be so worth it.

As far as getting to $2,000- $5,000? It takes a long time and a lot of really unique, quality content

P.S. I just looked at your blog. Man, you really, really need to put some more work in it. It is really tough to read. No paragraph breaks and it looks like you just pressed your keyboard pad without thinking of what to say. I am just being honest

You must have not heard of Kalatu Blog Platform yet.

Before you do anything you need to clearly define WHY you want to make 2K - 5K per month with your blog?

Here's my why: A little over a year ago I was homeless living in a van. I was then in a homeless shelter with my
wife and children. I had to look my little girl in the face at Walmart with tears running down her eyes because daddy did
not have the money to buy her the toy she wanted. I'm passionate about creating income with my blog to help other people
to never have to be in that type of situation again ever in life. Blogging saved my family financially and it can to the same
for you.

First you need a for profit blogging platform where you can post anything you like.
You control the content. You control all the advertising.

Kalatu is on a WordPress format and takes all the guess work out of blogging and the traffic you get to your blog is amazing.

You have to start blogging about your passion, share your story, share your vision, share your beliefs.

Then people that share your same beliefs, passion, and story will find you and you can market anything you wan to them and
they will buy from you.

Message me and I will show you some examples of what has been working for me

Sorry I cannot agree with you here. Self-hosted WordPress is indeed good and many 6-figure earners are using WordPress platform.

Now, about your question, WordPress or Blogger or any such platform cannot bring you traffic. You have to work your butt off - build links, rank your site organically, build relationship with other bloggers in your niche, have a social following to bring traffic to your site.

For search engine optimization, I know WordPress in its native form is not URL friendly, but a little tweak to the site while you're creating it makes it the most SEO-friendly platform. If you're not the technical one, there are hundreds of free plugins for SEO in the WordPress repository which you can use in one click and make your site fully SEO friendly.

First of all switch from blogger to WordPress self-hosted. if you need help with installation, I can help you out. blogpsot is not good for business. If you don't switch soon, you will learn it the hard way.

Traffic does not depend on which platform you are using. It depends on the content you publish, SEO , social sharing, backlinks etc

SEO wise WordPress is best. You get an awesome plugin called SEO by Yoast which really helps.

You can customize WordPress 100%. My blog is on wordpress and yes, I'm earning $1500 - $2000 just from my blog (different earning sources like affiliate, reviews, sponsored content)

Apart from blog, my other source of income is from designing.

I personally wouldn't rely on blogger for a long term project. I'm currently testing it out right now on click bank products.

Seriously if this is a project you dont want to be thrown away, use wordpress. If your doing something where you dont mind the project getting shut down. I guess you should use blogger. The problem with blogger is that google owns it.


Here some cool WP stuff

First start blogger.com,after some experience go to .com webhosting.

I use blogger, I make a decent amount with minimal traffic. Don't believe the hype. Not having a self hosted blog is ok. I have 13 of them with blogger, ignore my signature, and they all make money. I've been blogging with blogger for 15 years under the name "sir jorge" and it has been paying off for years.

Hi Home

Wordpress self hosted all the way!

Only because I've made dough in that specific money range , and because I know self hosted, WP is the way to go.

Brand you. Own your real estate. Make money.

NOW...the question remains, how?

Create value and make connections. Focus heavily on creating something useful, something special, for people to sink their teeth into, and connect with leading bloggers in your niche through blog commenting.

Win-win, as your value and the power of your connections will help you make money, whether 2K, 5K or 10K or more monthly.

Signing off from Bali!

ive only been using wordpress for a little while now but so far its satisfied all my needs

It's always best to not use a free blogging platform. Here's why: 1.) the domain name is not attractive 2.) the content is not 100% yours, the platform can block it or take it down without prior notice 3.) because it's free, features and potential are limited 4.) it's your business, don't be hesitant to invest in your foundation which is your blog 5.) bad branding and subconscious message to your readers (If you're not willing to invest in a proper blog then why would they?)

Having your own blog is like having your own brand. You're not limited to all the features in fact, you have tons of them! You can also be free to post whatever it is that's in your mind without worrying about some stupid guidelines and all.

It's about creating value and building relationships using your brand. That's how people will know and remember you by.

Self-hosted is definitely the way to go. I use Kalatu. Very easy and awesome to use! There's a mobile blogging app as well which is a huge +++!

Wordpress is full of holes.
Terrible security, easily hackable, plugins constantly needing updating, plugins causing the site to fail. One plugin issue can take down all your sites. If you have a number of sites you'll have to go in and update every single plugin. A quick Google search will tell you all you need to know about why hackers love Wordpress.
Self hosted is best, but blogger should not present any issues if that's what you want to use.It's interface is not the best, but it does the job. Otherwise if you are building a website use a website builder - there are plenty of free ones around and no you don't have to be an expert on html or css..

Wordpress is the best man!!! It gives you the best statistics.

Hey homebuz,

I want to clear your doubt that which is safe Blogger or WordPress.

As a security purpose Blogger is more safe than WordPress. No one can hack Google blogger and your WordPress site can be hack.

Blogger don't have any speed issue while opening and driving more traffic. In WordPress want more speed service that is costly.

Blogger is free for lifetime and WordPress needs charges every month for the security,speed and hosting.

WordPress is more familiar with search engines. Blogger comes after this.

If you can spend money than go for WordPress otherwise go for blogger.

WordPress Always much familiar with all search engines.

Thanks.

If you have files someone would want to download from you ...you can try monetizing your files through PPD (pay per download). They take a survey to download your file. You get paid up to $20 everytime someone does it. That's what has been doing well for me. If you want to try it ...PM me and I will invite you to my network.

$20-$100 a daily. Seems like you're starting with online marketing. Wordpress is great to start with. The bigger question is, what are you going to promote to make $20-$100 a day?

You can go adsense but you'll need a shit ton of traffic. Then there's doing amazon reviews which has a beginning of 4% commission that goes up every time you make more sales but resets at the beginning of the month to 4% again. You can join an affiliate network, and gain some leads (cpa's, etc.). Or you can sell your own book. There's other ways of course but that's just my take.

There's nothing to beat Wordpress for its versatility and the wide range of themes and plugins created specifically for that platform.

As to which, out of Wordpress and Blogger, will work best for you or is easier to SEO and get traffic, I think this depends on how well you create content (or have it created for you) that is relevant, informative and entertaining.

Wordpress has plugins available, many of them completely free, that can take care of security, keeping out spam, optimising your site for Google and the other search engines, and more. And it's easy to use.

Im using A Small Orange. They provide great service with affordable price.
