Blog vs Blogger vs Blogging: What is the Difference? Explained for Beginners

If you are new to online business, you have probably heard these three words: Blog, Blogger, and Blogging. They sound the same but they mean different things. Many Nigerians confuse them, and it makes you look unprofessional when you talk to clients. Let me explain it in the simplest way. 1. What is a BLOG? A blog is a WEBSITE. It is the place where you write articles. Just like Facebook is a website where you post pictures, a blog is a website where you post written articles. Example of blogs: - Africa Hustle Hub is a blog - Linda Ikeji's blog is a blog - Bella Naija is a blog Think of a blog like a SHOP. It is the building. People can visit it to read what you wrote. Your blog has an address. For example, http://africahustlehub.blogspot.com or .com. That address is your shop address. 2. What is a BLOGGER? A blogger is a PERSON. It is the person who owns and writes in the blog. If you write articles on your blog, YOU are a blogger. Example: - I am a blogger. I own Africa Hustle Hu...
