What is a Blog? How It Works and the Difference Between a Blog and a Website?
all about what is a blog and the
differences between a blog and a website
I think if you’re new to blogging you’ll
find this information very interesting
so a little life update from us Lauren
and I just got back from living a month
out in Portugal we are out living in
Lisbon and it was absolutely spectacular
we’re out there with a group called the
Wi-Fi tribe they’re a group of CO living
co-working CO partying Co having fun
entrepreneurs that kind of grouped
together and visit different places
around the world
Portugal itself was absolutely
spectacular is just so so beautiful and
I might just show you guys some clips in
this little segment specifically the
beaches were just amazing I mean they
had everything from the blue greens to
the white sandy beaches to just these
amazing cliffs and amazing rocks it was
really spectacular Lisbon itself the
city was very beautiful Porto we got out
there and we actually got to see some of
the Red Bull Air Races which was really
cool we we didn’t mean to do that but
Porto is also beautiful just the country
as a whole really spectacular Portugal
is also known for their coffee and for
their custards so we had too much coffee
in too much custards but we’re happy now
to kind of be back in the States
and be working on sort of the next steps
with create and go in the next steps
with our online business but for those
of you here right now you’re probably
more interested in hey I need to get to
the information of what actually is a
blog and what’s the difference between a
blog and website so let’s get right into
it alright guys let’s talk the difference
between a blog and a website if you’re
kind of confused about this as a whole
then you are right in the same place
that Lauren and I were two years ago we
honestly didn’t know what the difference
between a website or a blog was but
despite our confusion we were eager to
get started and we were eager to make
money we saw that bloggers online we’re
making a lot of income we were
interested in quitting our jobs and
making that kind of income and that’s
where we started kind of fast-forward to
today
Lauren I’ve built two six-figure blogs
combining making over $50,000 a month
it’s crazy but it’s a true story and
many people will now even call us expert
bloggers and I don’t know when that
happened or I don’t know if I ever feel
like I am an expert blogger but I do
feel like I’m gonna be able to give you
a very solid and tangible definition of
what
is a blog the boring definition of what
is a blog is sort of a regularly updated
page website oh by the way if you don’t
know this is one of our blogs creating
goko and that’s where this articles post
it anyway a regular or updated page or
website the easier way to understand it
is that this is a blog creating goko is
a blog when you’re reading any of the
posts on this website and the written
what holds the comments re the blog
itself is what holds the content in the
blog post what you’re reading and in our
case and in our blog is the part of the
entire website as a whole this is why
sometimes websites are referred to as
blogs and I’m gonna clear kind of all of
this up here and the next step because
the question you’re probably asking is
okay what’s the difference between a
blog and a website well I’m more of a
visual learner myself so let me give you
some examples there are three kind of
categories that websites fall under with
blogging and this is where the confusion
comes up and let me to separate those in
the three categories for you the first
is that the website is a blog the second
is the website has a blog and the third
is that the website is just a website
it’s easier to look at it from the
framework of of what the website is so
let’s dive into a little more detail on
each one and explain the differences the
first is that the website is a blog if
you’re on creating goko right now
you can also check out our other blog
which is avocado calm this is our other
six-figure blog that we have it’s
primary a blog because it is created and
centered around updated content and blog
posts that’s what I refer to these
websites as blogs because it’s all
centered around the content that we
create here are some of the names that
you could classify
these websites as you could call it a
can call it an authority niche or
website this is something that you
probably won’t have heard yet if you’re
typing in what is a blog and finding
this post but this is more of an
internet marketing term that you will
hear sort of later on other examples of
websites that are primary content is a
blog our blog posts are like something
like The Huffington Post our BuzzFeed
these are both examples of places that
would mainly be considered a blog almost
like a media outlet because it’s the
primary content that they post BuzzFeed
as well while they might call themselves
a business or are some other things they
are technically a blog because blog
posts remain their primary content now
if they called themselves a website or a publisher
