Free Blogs And Paid Blogs – Is Free Always Better?

If you are intending to start your own blog for your MLM business, you will find out that there are two types of blogs out there – the free blogs and the paid blogs. The paid blogging services will require payments to be made per month or per year to keep maintaining the blog alive on the Internet. Also, these paid blogs may charge for additional services that they provide, such as allowing you to post affiliate ads on your blog (and thus make money out of it) or even to give you a domain name that you use for your blog. Free blogging services are as their name suggests – you do not need to pay for any of these services.
That is what sets people thinking. Shouldn't going for free blog services and paying nothing to maintain the blog be a better option than paying for the same? That would seem so, but in reality, it isn't. Here are some points that tell you why.
Policies of Blogs
All blog sites have their policies that you have to adhere to or your blog faces the risk of getting deleted. Now, with paid blogs, these

policies are designed to be more attuned to the needs of the blog owners. They are quite in line for creating promotional blogs and even monetizing them in various ways. If you want to do all of that, these paid blogs with clearly defined policies will be good options for you.
The free blog services, on the other hand, do not need to cater to the blog owners because they are not making their income through them. Most of these sites will change their policies quite often to suit their own tastes, often disregarding the needs of the blog owners. This could be quite disadvantageous to the interests of a commercial blog like yours will be. Consider this – if the blog service you are on suddenly decides that they won't have blogs that do affiliate marketing anymore, where does that leave your blog that already has such a service?
The Impression with the Visitors
They may be beneficial to you in the short term, but free blogs take a toll on the overall impression they create for your visitors. Many visitors who come to your website will be Internet savvy and they will understand the difference between a free blog and a paid blog. If you have a paid blog, it spells better stability and viability of the opportunity to the visitor.
A paid blog will win over a free blog any day when it comes to commercial blogging. You have to see your long term goals and not mind the few dollars you will be spending on maintaining your MLM blog on a paid service.
