o common i did nt say dat, what i meant is dat there are many rich bloggers compare to very few forum owners.

koligs:
Left to me, I prefer forum than all those fake bloggers..
In forum, we could share ideas and opinions.

Either ways, if u think forum is better, click the like button and if u are for blog, click the share button..

Where are you from? It's foolishness to compare a blogger to a forum webmaster. I don't want to engage you today, otherwise you will go to your room, if you have one. Look at your self in the mirror want and want to hang yourself.

In terms of authority and fame, a blogger blows any forum webmaster out of the the water..

Most of these guys that are in nairaland that claim being a web designer specialist are nothing but but quack... I contacted one the other day to help me design an existing site... I thought he will do a nice job, what he did was just to install a wordpress software and theme and some few plugings, not mobile friendly and deliver it to me... This is wht i know how to do from google.
Infact since then i fear this naija web developers..... Anytin i want to do in my site i just av to google anf whatch videos chikena

all are well said.....but are we not missing something?....

Ok see, blog and forums are two worlds apart. It is just like comparing Flavour and Phyno; which of the two is a better singer?....

Forum is a community, you pay the bills through adverts which depend more on your traffic, which also depends on how you are able to engage your community.

Blog is a journal, you pay the bill through what you offer, and nobody will care about what you offer if you aint an authority in your niche. Also you pay the bills through adverts but you can never make a huge fortune from adverts because advert requires crazy traffic which you can only see in forums except blog on entertainment and new niche.

But here is a catch...

When you blog, you teach, when you blog you gather loyal customers, you feed them, you change their way of thinking, lead your audeince like a sheperd would lead his sheeps. Yes, you don't have much traffic, you don't gather crazy buzz but you have mines of gold within you. It pays your bill in a crazy way when done right... Think of copyblogger media.

In the other hand, when you build a forum, you own a village sqaure, you have a community, everybody hangs out and shares ideas, laugh, chat and tommorrow we all come again. You depend solely in your power of engagement. If your village square is full and vibrante, you pays the bill. If your village sqaure is scanty and dull, you starts advertizing it because your money lies in your traffic. When your traffic soars all goes good. But is isn't so with blog because you have already used email marketing in building a big family.

Now to the summary.... Every thing has its weakness and strengths...

Forums require crazy traffic to pay the bills which are mainly through adverts..... Your engagement and innovative power comes to full play here. If you are good in engaging a group of people, in organizing and keeping a whole lot coming for you, then forum here you come!
Blogs require a teacher type, more like a mother or nanny type of person, because you got to teach, nucture, solve their problem through copywritting and content marketing. Initiate them into being one big family through email marketing. If you are the type that have a sheperd mind, that likes to lead, show the road, and make people feel like they belong somewhere and not just that they always come somewhere, then blog here you come!

Now back to me....

If you ask me of the two which one is profitable i will tell you that your question is very wrong because they are opposites. If you have asked between an entertainment blog and a tutorial blog, that one will be very correct, or between a technology forum and an all niche forum.

Then also....

If you ask me of the two which one is more difficult then i will say it is a blog. Do i hear you chuckle..lol.. Yeah, because a forum is just like providing an amusement park, every body takes there kid there, all you need to dos see to security, clean enviroment and safe play grounds. While a blog is like marrying ten wifes, having children from them, taking care of them till they grow up, they get married, you as the father still gathers them around you, look into the difficulties they are facing, try solving , cos as their father they are looking unto you. Much like Jacob and his family.

kudos all you all. The key is....know the type of person you are and the platform that suits you best. How much you make from it depends on you. How you are able to utilize it.

Once again thank you all...

You are right about forum and blog. To me blog is somehow difficult as you say because its like look caring for your families and relattive of their needs or teaching a kidagatten school. As for forum it seem straight forward.

For me I think blog is ok because organising a community is not an easy thing

tho! blog is different 4rm forum,but i will like 2 state out my opinion concerning forum.
i must say a successful forum is the best due to richness in its contents and it is endorse dat "content is d king",and this bring huge traffic dat can be converted to real cash if well monetize but
"for a forum to be successful,its owner must be dedicated to it,determined,focus on a niche,inculcate the habit of consistency,patient,must know how to engage pple,have a little knowledge about in and out of building forum cos it can't just be ventured on,and he/she must know how to manage,promote it"
i think i've to stop there.
