My Experience Using All 7 Major Korean Blogging Platforms

As a blog nomad, I wrote reviews using various blogs..

Actually, these blogs are still alive and breathing, so I want to integrate and manage all this information somewhere, but I can't figure out how to do it. If I had stayed on the same topic, I would have kept it in one blog, but the unfortunate truth is that as a person like me, whenever my interests change, I change it depending on the purpose, and it ends up being scattered here and there...

Anyway First, Naver blog

It is the cleanest and easiest to use as it is the beginning. There are many Naver users, so Naver searches are good, and it is especially popular on the homepage, as it promotes bloggers who have recently created Naver. In fact, it seems like Naver is trying to revive blogs these days. Naver Brand Connect monetization is also quite good. After trying it for a few months, it doesn't take long to monetize it right away. In my case, I was able to monetize it in 2 days, and it was a small amount, but I think I would have a good chance of winning if I specialized in laptops and home appliances with large amounts of money. I heard that people who are good at listening earn several million won every month.

It's unfortunate for automation blogs that the API is not open compared to other blogs, but Naver still seems to be a good place to see sincere posts.

Tistory Blog

My representative blog is not this blog as of now, but there is another blog that I have been writing about consistently in 2023. When I was using that blog, it wasn't that easy to get AdSense, but now when I use Tistory, I think getting AdSense is just a piece of cake...

I heard they are removing Kakao ads recently, but I don’t know why. Actually, I thought to myself that if it wasn't sponsored as well as Naver, or if there were more ads, people would use it more... But I came back to Tistory... I guess it's just because it's convenient? There is no reason. Google SEO is better than Naver Blog.

WordPress and self-made blogs

If I'm going to blog, I should have my own blog..

WordPress requires some setup. However, from a developer's perspective, although it is a very simple setting, it is still very difficult. It seems that UI is more difficult than coding. WordPress is the best for monetization and the good thing is that it is not tied to the flow of any blog platform?! Do you feel like you have a lot of freedom?

And you can also take your own domain

It takes a lot of work to set up for the first time, but after you do it, it couldn't be more convenient.

GitHub Blog

GitHub Blog There was a time when people were talking hard about creating portfolios, but coding, language understanding, and learning are becoming useless with the advent of AI. Previously, it was important to go from one class to another, what kind of framework should be used, what kind of architecture should be used, and being able to answer things like this well. Actually, it is still important in technical interviews.

As AI becomes commercialized, it seems that this kind of low-level code operation is actually not necessary unless you are the creator who creates it. Of course, even now, when I write Claude, there are times when I get stuck in the context and say strange things... Now, common sense is becoming increasingly distant.

GitHub blogs have a lot of freedom and require a lot of work, but connecting to open source is work and it is good for SEO, but it requires some settings.

Medium

This is a blog I prepared out of curiosity to take aim at big tech, as it is often used by foreign developers. I used it to fill out my portfolio in English, but it was a big barrier for me as I couldn't give up the UI. If you write it in English, it's okay, but if you write it in Korean, it feels weird...

If you look at it, you will see that it is good to focus on the letters themselves, but it is not pretty. Hangul like this..

Brunch

Those who do brunch should become authors! I started this blog again with a goal of 2026. It feels like brunch is constantly being viewed by people who use it, so if you consistently write about a topic, there are people who keep clicking the like button.

I feel more communication and warmth than other blogs, but I think it's probably because the people who write are sincere and sincere about the book rather than automation.

Sometimes I scribble down my thoughts during brunch, but I think it would be good to publish a book if I stick to one topic and write about it consistently. A brunch that is more about professionalism or gambling than monetization

Velog

If you write a tech blog, you've probably scribbled on Vellog... It has a clean design and nice accent colors, so you can focus on writing without worrying about theme decoration. Also, there are a lot of people who write tech blogs, so even looking at the table of contents of related blogs, there were a lot of studyable parts, so it was good to focus and read them.

I ended up not using it because it had fewer users than Naver and Tistory, but Google SEO was also good, so I wrote diligently while using it.

The most important things in choosing a blog are... big platform, SEO, (monetization), and readability.

I think the most important thing is to gather consistently in one place.
