Blogging & Digital Marketing Q&A - ShoutMeLoud

Rajat: Sir, I've been following you for many years. Pls answer this - It is no secret that Affiliate Payers are unfair when paying bloggers/publishers and much of affiliate commission usually gets lost in translation.
Do you have any material about post-back URLs or any such tips on how to stop Payers from stealing our commissions

Hi Harsh.

How are you doing?

I have been reading and researching about niches and the content regarding my blog but I have stumbled upon a new problem which has confused me a bit.

I would be thankful if you could answer a few questions I have.

1. Which is better, Wordpress or Blogspot regarding monetising strategies?

2. I have a Blogspot account. Would I be able to move my blog from Blogspot to wordpress in future if necessary.

3. How much control wordpress would give me over my blog should I decide to move to wordpress in future?

Please reply back with your thoughts and any other suggestions you think would be helpful.

See you in the next email!

Hello Harsh,

I hope you are doing well.

I have been following your blogs and they are very helpful and insightful.

I am facing some issues and I was hoping if you could assist me with the same.

I have done my courses in Digital Marketing and know the skills theoretically. I want to practice those skills to keep myself in sync and updated.

As per my understanding, this would be best done if I would be to make my own website or blog and its social media pages and then practice those skills on it.

However, the main issue is I don't have a product to sell or a brand to make. I don't want to do business in the future. I want to do a job in the DM industry. I just want to hone my skills on my website or blog and learn from experimenting on my own from time to time.

I have a Wordpress https://itisaditijain.wordpress.com and I also have a domain registered itisaditijain.in as well as hosting.

I am thinking of starting a personal blog (lifestyle blog) and I have some questions.

Can I have .in domain for my WordPress blog?

Can I practice SEO and other DM tools on my WordPress blog?

Is it possible to do so?

Can I implement themes and plugins and other tools for its optimization?

Is there a way to transfer .in domain to .com domain for WordPress or any other way I can use my registered domain for a WordPress blog?

The reason I want to make a blog and not a website is that the content ideas I have are in the form of articles and short pieces which I don't think would be suitable for a website. Also, I would have to do marketing and generate traffic for my blog and website which I don't want to.

I would be really really grateful to you if you could take some time out of your schedule and help me with this.

I hope you understand my confusion and will be able to help me with the same.

I will be looking forward to hearing from you.

Warm Regards,

Aditi Jain,
