Forum Vs Blog: Which is Easier to Manage?

[kayode10]

It is pretty much easier to manage a blog than a forum. The reason is that you will have to monitor what people are discussing and ensure they are still following the rules and regulation within the forum. You only need to write content and post on my blog.

I don't think it's easy to manage any of them. Each one of them takes a lot of time to manage. I created a blog, I spent a lot of time with it, but since I had no success with it, I dropped it. I think if you are successful in creating blogs it is better to focus on them, if you have success with forum, then focus on managing a forum.

A forum is much more difficult to handle while blog is reverse. Why I am saying is because in forum you must make sure you monitor the flow the site, if people and users are abiding to the rules and regulations of the site to avoid forum crash also. If you have an advance forum that means you will need more moderators for the management. But in blog not all stress is applicable here. Even though I know blog also have their own tough time but not as that of a forum.

In both of them you will still need to do a lot of posting to get the attention of so many people into the website, with blog you only be concentrating on how to create topics but as a forum owner you'll be concentrating on how to create topic, manage the community and filter out negative comments.

When it comes to management, forums and blogs, both have advantages and disadvantages. Getting traffic and building content on forum is easier compared to blog,

 

[Immilash]

That's very well. From what you've said earlier it seems like you create forums and blogs just to sell them. I think that will be a great idea of having enough money.

 

[Sotherefore]

Forums is the most difficult one to manage because you really have to be on constant monitoring to observe what people are posting, it is almost impossible for you to manage a forums alone ,you will needs some moderators and super moderators

 

[Justin]

Whether you can manage a blog well or a forum well depends on your managerial skills and also interest. Blog is basically a one man show, you have full control over it. However, a forum is a team work, you have to depend on a lot of people to run it successfully

A blog is far more easier to manage and maintain than a forum, however a forum tends to get more engagements than a forum would ever get.

Currently, I am running 15 websites. These websites are on different niches ranging from health, travel, astrology, food, gardening to beauty, homemaking, etc. Some of these websites are multi niches and some are single niches I sometimes hire writers to write for my websites and social media marketers to promote on social sites. However, I do most of the work.

I do not have a forum now, but I have tried my hands on forum. The first forum I created lasted for three months. I had to shut it down because I could get more than 10 members. My second forum lasted little longer, about one year, even though there were over 100 members, only a handful of them were active. Therefore, I shut this forum. I never created another.

I think a blog is easier to manage because you don't have as much work as a forum. on the forum if it is populated and you have many users and activity, you also need time to take care of it or a decent staff.

Even though managing a blog is easy, creating content for your blog might be difficult, building traffic might be even more difficult. Building content and traffic (from the registered users) is easy on forum

 

[kayode10]

I prefer a Blog to forum because it is pretty much easier to operate a blog. You need to moderate the comments and post made by the members of the forum in order to make it healthy and rank very well on Google search engine.

 

[Kane]

It is difficult to rank your forum on search engines because of content quality. Your forum content will be created by the users and quality is lacking in most of the user generated posts

 

[Adecyptii]

Wow that's great, but what's your reason of creating all the forums,creating contents on forum seems to be very difficult, one has to pay sometimes before they create it for him.

 

[ganibade]

Forum vs blogs. This can be distinguish as two online business platform.blog is far better than forum because you what videos on a blog platform.

 

[mayumi97]

I think blogs are easier to manage since you only have to deal with yourself or with some writers if you choose to outsource your content. On the other hand, forums need active members so you need to have content and activities to attract regular posters. In many cases, you may have to pay for posters to get the forum going.

 

[kayode10]

It is pretty much easier to manage a blog than forum. You can schedule all the posts you want to publish on blog and everything will go live on automated. The case is quite different with forum as you will have to monitor everything.

 

[Laurentta]

In my opinion, they are both difficult to handle. I don't think one is easier than the other. A forum requiess alot of managing to do especially because of the members while a blog requires alot of research work.

I think that a blog is the easier one to manage of the two because when you have a forum then you have to monitor each of the members that you have there as well and you have to ensure that all of the posts that they put up are of good quality.
