The main reasons behind me bringing up this topic today is to discover ourselves, as to who we are and what’s the reason behind us blogging, the answer to these 2 questions would determine your success rating in blogging efforts. You have to select a particular platform to blog, and speak your word, the things you believe in and the truth of the matter you want people to hear or get it across.

Lets get down to the final verdict as to which one is really in, both the types of blogs have equal importance and both of them are highly appreciated by people, there is equal demand for both the blog the only differences I have stated below:

1. Individual blogs doesn’t require much bigger a network to start of, where, as community blogs needs a huge amount of networking resources.
2. Individual blogs are laid on the perception of a one person’s objectives and goals in person or professional life where as community blogs are solely for people, by people and with people.
3. Individual blogs are more at personal front and community blog are more public like.
4. The biggest and greatest advantage of a community blog is that you can piggy back on the brand of the community so there aren’t much of marketing efforts you need to do to convince someone into buying your product, if the blog is trust worthy, there are no questions people would ask.
5. Community blogs helps you to market your products at a larger scale, there are groups you can refer to. Each of the types have their own pros and cons, both have their own niche and importance, its upon us which one to go for, both are profitable and both are equally in fashion.
