TypePad is a powerful blogging software that allows customizable blogs, monetization across multiple methods and allows advanced functions such as posting content via mobile phone. They also offer hosting services for blogs that allow you to create entire sites around your blogs for no extra cost. You can also upgrade your service level as your requirements increase.

Everything is done within a point and click environment, allowing you to create, publish and manage your blog without any coding necessary. It’s also possible to do “micro blogging” which allows you to blog directly from Facebook and other locations, and post images straight to Twitter from TypePad. Functionality like this allows you to tie multiple web 2.0 social media approaches all into one, helping you to get and keep more viewers.

You’re also able to monetize your blog in a number of different ways. The built in “TipJar” lets readers “tip” you for appreciated content, and widgets are available to install eCommerce solutions such as PayPal’s Storefront or Amazon.com’s aStore. You can also monetize through advertising, making use of contextual advertising through Six Apart’s Advertising program.
