Blogging – What Is It And Why Is It Popular? by emperorblog(m): 9:35pm On Apr 19, 2018 |
A Brief History of Blogging
Initially, blogging involved a personal web
log, in
which a person would journal about their
day.
From “web log” came the term “blog.”
Like most new innovations on the Internet ,
many
entrepreneurs saw a marketing potential in
having
a blog, and blogging took off from there. Not
only
can a blog be used for marketing , but also,
a blog
can be a home business in and of itself.
Blog Versus Website
Many people are still confused over what
constitutes a blog over a website. Part of the
problem is that many businesses use both,
integrating them into a single web presence.
But
there are two features of a blog that set it
apart
from a traditional website.
Why Is Blogging Is So Popular?
There are several reasons why entrepreneurs
have turned to blogging.
Is there a Downside to Blogging?
Blogging is popular because it works as a
marketing tool and makes money. But
blogging
isn’t all rainbows and unicorns in the world of
online income. Before starting a blog as a
means
to make money or to promote your existing
business, you should consider these
potential
downsides
How to Start a Blog
The good news is that starting a blog or
adding a
blog to your existing site is relativity easy and
affordable. There are free blog options such
as
and Blogger, but to retain
control
and professional image, consider investing in
a
domain name and hosting , and installing
WordPress or other content management
system
on your host. Most webhosts offer this.
Once your blog is up and running , you need
keep
it active with new content to grow your
business.
While your blog can compliment an existing
business, it’s also a great way to add
additional
income. You can promote other companies’
products and services in affiliate marketing .
You
can offer advertising or feed ad networks on
to
your blog. If you have a service business
you’re
promoting with your blog, you can create
your
own information products to compliment it. www.emperorblog.com.ng/blogging-what-is-it-and-why-is-it-popular/ |
