What is Blogging?

Blogging is a hot medium. It is easy, almost instant, publishing of content to a website, where every entry is preserved in a database and is therefore categorizeable and searchable. Content can be photographs, recipes, restaurant reviews, or anything digitally storable on a computer that you can categorize. It is taking over the world - the corporate world that is. But many executives are complacent in thinking that blogging is just something "the kids these days dabble in" Which is not the case because most businesses are using blogs for marketing their products.

Starting a blog is ridiculously cheap; indeed, blogging software and hosting can be had for free online. There are also easy-to-use ad services that, for a small fee, will place advertisements from major corporations on blogs, then mail the blogger his profits.

Blogging is all about communicating with words (and pictures, too) and is very addictive. Thus, when you're going to start a blog, you have to stay really focused on your topics of choice and the niche you desire to attract, regardless if your blogs goal is to just speak your mind or to build a strong readership followed up with some added value revenue streams.

Today blogging is more fun and rewarding because there are so many good things about it, but comment and trackback spam can tarnish the process. So make sure your blog is up to date with the latest spam software and plugins.

Blogging is one of those things which have inserted itself into American culture whether we like it or not. According to the BlogWorld site, of the 147 million Americans who use the internet, almost 40% of them read blogs. And the mean reason for this is because it shows personalities of different people worldwide. In other words it's about storytelling. Not the kind of storytelling where the story is handed down and repeated generation to generation.

Bloggers use blogs as something different which make you share your experience or knowledge with others. And I good suggest rule for a single post is 100 words only and be straight to the point.

The world of blogging is like anything else, it takes a lot of hard work and patience. At the end, success rate for making money with a blog is probably lower than someone making money by starting their own business. And the only way you can make lots of money with blogging is when you have large readership and your blog is popular.

Blogging can be a great way to reach your goals, but only when you know all the ins and outs of the blogging industry. Blogging is like renovating: you find it endlessly fascinating and interesting if you are an interesting person.
