What is the best software to make money with a blog? WordPress, Blogger or TypePad

If you want to make money online with a blog you will find that there are several alternatives of software to start one (I recommend you to read How to Make Money Online with a Blog).

One of the most popular is WordPress.org and is free. You should go to that link and you can download the program to install it on your blog hosting (I use wordpress).

Usually your hosting provider give the option to install WordPress with only few clicks (check Alocate that give you that option with its Linux Hosting plans).

At Blogger.com (a service of Google) you can make a blog as a sub domain totally free without invest to buy a domain or hosting. WordPress.com (notice .com and not .org) also give you the same alternative. If you want you can explore these free option but really you quickly will move to WordPress.org or maybe TypePad.

TypePad is other blog platform very successful but you need to pay for it but they provide you with the hosting services.

I use WordPress and I am very happy with this software. As wordpress is an open source you can find also a lot of resources over internet free that will allow you to learn more about this software and how to make money with your blog.
