One of the reasons why I love Virily is the fact that we are being given an opportunity to share our ideas in whatever form we deemed appropriate. That is aside from the fact that we are earning a little sum of money just for being active.
But did it ever cross your mind to have your own blog? A blog where you can probably focus on one or several subjects for that matter? Or a blog where you can offer your products or service/s?
There are different blogging platforms where we can start with depending on the purpose of the blog. If you want to do it for personal enjoyment, we can opt to start with Blogger or WordPress.com. However, if we are planning to monetize your blog through various methods including but not limited to placing third-party advertisements, using an open-source content management system likes WordPress.org is a good thing to consider.
I personally have my own blog and I must say that it helps me learn new things which are essential in my daily life as an online worker.

Yes! I have a blog and earn from it through Adsense
That’s good to know Abhishek. How long have you been into blogging?
I do have a website and I have not earned money from it…I have to pay to use it and considering on not having it.
Thank you for visiting, Pamela. What kind of website do you have? Haven’t you tried applying for advertising platforms like Adsense or Infolinks?
I got on to FASO because it was easy to set up and now I find it is strictly only art work, not so much photography and generally it is really hard to sell anything.
Yes, FASO is a web hosting company that caters primarily for artists. You can have your own domain but you host the site with them. You can try WordPress.org which is an open content management system. You can choose where you want to host your site and have your own domain. with an open CMS, You can implement your own earning program.
Thanks for that Sharon……..
I have a blog, but wish it had monetizing capabilities because I would actually put more time into it. Most of things I share are copied from what I post on other sites.
Thank you for commenting Thomas. The content of our blog should be original just like with other sites we have. Having an exact copy of what we have in another site might affect our SEO. We can write for the same subject but we have to write it in a different way. We can link the posts we have in other sites back to our own blog.
I also share links to my Virily posts because Virily contributes more that my blog does
I do have a blog, but it’s not monetized. It seems too overwhelming for now.
Thank you for dropping by. You can place ads and affiliate links on your blog. You can also offer other services like writing, proofreading, etc. Personally, I have some ads but not earning much from it. I was able to sell several copies of my eBook on my blog. I am still working on other subjects for my eBooks.
Thank you for the response! 🙂
And I wish you best of luck with blogging!
I sorta consider this to be a blog, but I am also thinking of other ways to monetize my art and a blog would be one part of that…
Do you mean Virily? Yes, it is a blogging platform where you can share your arts. But if you have additional time, creating your own blog is also a good way to earn more.
I expect that I will ultimately migrate to a dedicated blog
What blogging platform are you using? Me, I am using WordPress.org. I need to pay for domain and hosting. I am using Namecheap for both. But I heard that Bluehost is also good.
I haven’t got that far yet, but I expect I will see what my competition does and base my model off the successful ones…
Actually, I need to get working on my blog again.
I also could not update my blog often but I know I am getting more referrals through my blog. It’s really hard to have limited time.
I have but I’m not very active there!
Thank you Ileana for sharing your thought on this. You can always get back into blogging.
I need to get back to blogging on my own site soon.
Yeah! That could be a good source of passive income.
Several blogs and microblogs. Been seriously blogging for about 10+ years.
Thank you Cmoneyspinner for visiting. Yeah, I know you earn well from blogging and I learned a lot from you.
So much stamina and interest too! I appreciate you.
Yes, I have my personal blog a few years already
Thank you, Fortune for dropping by. How do you monetize your blog? You can also add the information on your profile so we can visit it also.
I do not have my own blog. Time does not allow me another web work at the moment.
Thank you for visiting, Vidocka. Well, actually, I am still planning to set up my travel blog. I just need to have my own camera for that. I also need to learn photo editing as well as creating videos. My current blog is about career and online working.
I do not have any blogs and I do not even have the intention to deal with it, dear Sharon … I already have Virilya
Thank you for sharing your opinion, Lado. Yes, Virily is a good platform and there are many ways to spend your time with.
And here I met some wonderful people I can tell my friend, dear Sharon
I honestly don’t have the time for any more online work.
Yes, it is good to have only one site so you can concentrate more. Thank you for dropping by and for the comment.
Honestly, I operate my personal blog for me and family.
So if it never makes money oh well
Having a personal blog is also a good thing. We can keep our photos and other important info intact for future use.
I also have three other online copies of pictures for safe keeping! Plus three hard drives at home with full copies of all pictures.
I count Virily as my blog. I get my thoughts across in a great community. I wish yours well!
Yes, Virily is a very good blogging platform and I also consider it as one of the best when it comes to design and functionality. thank you for sharing your thoughts on this, LaJenna.
I do not think I can have my own blog with my photos
I think you can. There are many people who are looking for photos. You can earn from it using several methods. One, you can create a membership site where only those with accounts can access your photos. Second, you can charge per download. Third, you can ads on your blog. You can sell your photos in Shutterstock and other sites.
I have one but not active there!
Thank you suny. Even if we don’t earn from our own blog at the current time, we can still use those to promote our works from other sites that we have.
Yes im just using blogger/blogspot platform
Yes, if you are using blogger, you only need to purchase a domain for your site because Google is your host provider.
I have several blogs, but I rarely post to them anymore.
Thank you Riverwild for dropping by. You can still update those. Are you using a free domain and hosting?
