Amazon Kindle Creates A Revenue Stream for Your Blog
Check this out. Amazon has dropped the cost for a Kindle by $70.00, making the price now $189.00. I have wanted one so badly. In fact I wanted one for me, for my dad, and for my mother. They both love to read. Any way.... The Kindle is the #1 best selling product on Amazon today. I am so tempted to buy one.
I decided to go online and do some more research on it, as I had been curious for some time about the electronic reading gadget. When went to the Kindle Store, I noticed that there is an option to subscribe to thousands of blogs, each for $.99 month.
I have no idea how many people actually read blogs on the Kindle or if anyone is making money from their blog being available on Kindle, but why not list it? Can you imagine?
Finding out how to submit your blog is not obvious. I did a search, found a forum post asking that very question and followed the thread to find the answer.https://kindlepublishing.amazon.com
You must set up a publishing account (different from your Amazon account), fill out a few fields, upload a couple of images and submit. Easy.
Here's the info you need to have in order to submit your blog in just a few minutes:
Your blog will be reviewed and added to the Kindle Store in 48-72 hours (so they say).
Even if no one ever subscribes to my blog on the Kindle, it doesn't really matter. It's there when people search both on the Kindle AND on Amazon - a great place to get more visibility for your blog and your business! Plus people can get a 14 day free trial and may get hooked on your great content.
NOTE: Just found the easy way to submit your blog >> On Amazon, go to the Kindle Store, then click on Blogs. You'll see a link to take you to the publishing site in the left column.

Blogger and WordPress
Comparing the two: Blogger and WordPress
Bloggers usually ask themselves if they should use Blogger.com or WordPress.
Blogger.com or Blogspot and WordPress are the two most widely used blogging platforms. Today, the number of bloggers they’re accommodating continues to grow in millions and continues to update their versions continuously.
The Blogger setup requires your blog be hosted on their servers. In contrast, blogs running on WordPress’ platform can be hosted at WordPress.com, or the software can simply be downloaded and configured to the desires of the user.
Here are some key features of Blogger.com comparing the two versions of WordPress setups:
Blogger.com Features:
-1 GB worth of space is allowed for free hosting
-Blog content is kept at Blogger.com
-Choosing and customizing templates is allowed (limited flexibility)
-Easy to start with and utilize
-Image and video files can be uploaded and stored
-1 GB worth of space is allowed for free hosting
-Blog content is kept at Blogger.com
-Choosing and customizing templates is allowed (limited flexibility)
-Easy to start with and utilize
-Image and video files can be uploaded and stored
WordPress.com Features:
-3 GB worth of space is allowed for free hosting
-Blog content is kept at WordPress.com
-Choosing and customizing templates is allowed (limited flexibility
- Easy to start with and utilize
- Image and video files can be uploaded and stored (limited file formats)
-3 GB worth of space is allowed for free hosting
-Blog content is kept at WordPress.com
-Choosing and customizing templates is allowed (limited flexibility
- Easy to start with and utilize
- Image and video files can be uploaded and stored (limited file formats)
WordPress Self-Hosted Features:
-Blog content is kept at user’s preferred web host
-Almost unlimited ability to choose and customize templates and widgets
- technical ability is needed to setup and configure
-Web server filters the type of file supported (almost unlimited)
-Blog content is kept at user’s preferred web host
-Almost unlimited ability to choose and customize templates and widgets
- technical ability is needed to setup and configure
-Web server filters the type of file supported (almost unlimited)
However, as each have their own good factors, some thorough analysis of the blog platforms indicates that Blogspot.com is frequently used by people who blog about their lives and other topics. Compared to WordPress users, Blogger.com users are usually not “professional” bloggers, however there are some who work hard on their blogs there and make it a source of living.
Self-hosted WordPress blogs are likely to be professional entities that have IT specialists that handle the maintenance. Blogs using WordPress.com are somewhat similar to Blogger blogs in content, naturally more casual or personal than self-hosted WordPress blogs.
Cost
Blogspot and WordPress accounts are free. However, doing any significant customization of your WordPress.com-hosted blog can cost you some additional expenditure. Certain upgrades and customization can cost you accordingly to the size of your upgrade. If your blog runs on the WordPress platform downloadable from WordPress.org, your costs are dependent upon your hosting account. Be watchful in these upgrades and customizations because they can be vey costly at times.

Be watchful in these upgrades and customizations because they can be vey costly at times.
Flexibility
Because WordPress is open source software, gives more flexibility when it comes to customization. Upon downloading and installing WordPress, you gain access to the database and the PHP, CSS, and image files that comprise the platform. In contrast to Blogger’s platform, having development access to the system lets users be creative as they want to be. One bonus that WordPress.com gives is the ability to host a wide variety of files and their format.

One bonus that WordPress.com gives is the ability to host a wide variety of files and their format.
As Blogger encourages users in customizing their blogs and adding Google gadgets, although there’s a lot of guesswork involved in trying to figure out how to manipulate the XML schema, which is used to customize templates beyond adding gadgets and changing layouts. When customizing a Blogspot blog, that process can be really hard and tedious.
A noteworthy comparison the two is the ability to categorize posts. Greater flexibility exists with both WordPress.com-hosted blogs and self-hosted ones with the use of WordPress software than with Blogger.com. Categories are made using Labels on Blogger.com blogs. Sub-categories are natural for both WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress blogs.
For the layman blogger, getting started with Blogger’s platform is rather simple. Just create an account, choose a template, and start writing. The interface is straight forward for the users. WordPress.com are similar, only a bit more complicated. WordPress self-hosted blogs require a user to download the software, uploading it to a server, configure its settings, and run the installation program of the software. It can be simple for others and intimidating for some.
After setting up a blog platform, using it can be very simple as well. However, Blogger.com is probably the easiest to understand and use.
Updates are very important. Though platforms can be vulnerable to hacks, to minimize that risk, it’s recommended that users of WordPress be watchful of their sites, especially WordPress blog owners hosting their own blogs.
Users can allow the Blogger development team to worry about hacks. Because the blog data is kept on the servers, there a thin chance that Blogger sites can be hacked.
