What is
a blog?
A blog
is a type of website that
is updated regularly with new content. Most blogs contain short, informal
articles called blog posts.
These posts usually contain some combination of text, photos,
videos, and other media. At its
core, a blog is just a website that you can create to record and express your opinions, experiences, and interests.
Why People Blog
Blogging
has come to stay in the schemes of affairs of people’s daily lives; from those
trying to express their emotions and/or passions, those trying to teach a
skill, to those willing to make a living from blogging. And most of these
wishes have found answers in blogging.
Here
are some of the most common responses bloggers why people blog:
- To share their experiences and expertise
- To speak up about an issue they care about
- To become more involved with their hobbies and passions
- To be part of a community
- To advance their career or start a career in writing
- To keep their family and friends updated about their lives.
No matter what their main
reason for blogging is, most bloggers have at least one thing
in common: They're passionate
enough about a topic to write
about it over and over again, usually for free.
Blogging for money
Another
reason some people blog is to make money. People make money from their
blogs by hosting advertisements, selling products, or publishing
their blog posts in the form of a book or printed articles.
The
media often reports on bloggers who have done this successfully, turning their
blogs into careers and even a book and movie deals. While it's fine to try to
earn money from blogging, you should be aware that these success stories are very
rare.
You
may see advertisements for services that promise to help you make your blog
profitable with little effort. However, making money this way is not as easy
as it may seem. Many bloggers write for years without ever earning a kobo
from their blogs. Keep this in mind as you begin blogging.
