Blogging Vs. Hubpages: Poll/Discussion

I actually have a hub and a blog article talking about this topic. I had to make this choice about a year ago, and it wasn't as easy to figure out. Ultimately I made the choice to spend my article writing efforts on my blogs where a reader can connect with all my on-line efforts easier.

Of course it depends on what you are trying to achieve, some people are content with simply writing here on Hubpages and not worry about all the building your site and managing all the blog details. It's true that a blogger is not just a writer, but usually a mix of different Internet skills and efforts that are other than writing. For me, this works because I like to have a site to write on that I design more so and control much more so.

When it comes to making money and having views, both are comparable with Hubpages paying more at first, then blogging having more potential over time and with the other affiliate links. My main blog now is getting a couple thousand visitors every week now, but the amount of money is more like .50 cents per thousand, when Hubpages is more like $5 thousand. Yet, remember we can get paid directly through Adsense on Hubpages, just opt out of HP Adprogram. The last poll was about this, check it out. Best wishes in your writing.
