Building a new online business is an exciting step that everyone wants to take, but the choices are unlimited which keep us curious about many options. The first thing to decide is whether to build a blog or create a tools website. 

Whether you choose to build a blog or a tools website, you can end up being profitable and getting passive income. However, the process differs and the obstacles as well. 

 

Building a blog

No matter what platform you are using (Blogger, WordPress, Wix, etc…), building a blog is a profitable online business that can be monetized to generate a good income. 

Pros of building a blog

• You may use free platforms like blogger
• Easy to build without tech knowledge
• No need for hosting if you use blogger

Cons of building a blog

• It needs a lot of content.

 

Create a tools website

Away from blogs, you can create a tools Website and gain passive income. You can offer paid subscription, monetize it with ads like Google Adsense, sell spaces for banner ads, etc… 

Although it doesn't require a lot of content, you must write some descriptions as well as content about us, privacy policy, terms and conditions and contact page. 

Pros of tools Website

• It doesn't need a lot of content
• It doesn't require daily work. 
• It may have paid subscriptions which increases the profits. 

Cons of tools Website

• It needs more SEO efforts as it doesn't have a lot of content. 
• It is needs more budget for scripts and APIs
• It may need proxies and VPNs. 
• It requires some technical skills to manage it. 

 

Blogger VS tools Website

Both blogger and tools Website are profitable and can be monetized in several ways. 

However, blogs require more content than tools Websites. You must write at least 20 articles of 1000 words each as a start, while you just have to write descriptions for the tools Website. 

A tools Website offer services that help others save some effort, which helps the platform to grow faster. 

Blogs don't need a lot of costs, but tools Websites need maintenance costs every few months. 

 

Conclusion

If you have some budget and technical skills, it is better to start with a tools website as it is more profitable and needs less time and daily effort. However, if you lack them, it is better to save your budget for marketing your business and start a blog. It may not be as profitable as a tools website, but it needs no skills and you can monetize it with a lot of ways like ads and affiliate links for a double profit.
