What is BLOG?

0
Most of us already know a little bit of information about blogs, blogging, and blogger.
But, sometimes we tend to be a bit distracted to this information and yeah, (I don't know what to say..)



Blog sometimes could be a bit persuasive, powerful profiles and authors, writers (bloggers or what you wanted to call them) information that they may deliver to you are sometimes..(I don't want to continue in this part)

That is why most of the new generation of writers tend to get information from people that have the profession that is in line with their blog post or attach the book or references from their content.

Likewise, health, writers interview doctors, nurses or health practitioners and people that are known to their profession. 

So, let me discuss first a short history of Blog.

In 1994 Links.net, the first blog created by Justin Hall, a college student of Swarthmore (The content is still there, you can check it out), in 1997 the weblog term was coined by John Barger and in 1998 marks the first known instance of a blog on a traditional news site. 

The term Weblog was shortened to blog in 1999  by program Peter Merholz.

By 2001, there was enough interest in blogging that some how-to articles and guides started cropping up. “Meta blogs” (blogs about blogging) make up a sizable portion of the most popular and successful blogs out there. 

Now, some of the things that I said are already part of the changes that happened in the blogging industry.

Blogging used to be a bit more glamorous. When people start making money from writing on the internet, blogging became that dreaded thing of all. Platforms are readily offered for you to start your own blog. These are a medium, blogger, Tumblr, and wordpress.com

What exactly do you want to write? Unhealthy or healthy working? Cheap travel or any awesome blog. No one cares about what you have written as long it benefits them. You must really think about what you want to write on your blog to get your reader's attention.

As I have searched, read magazines and contents of other writers or bloggers. There are two
basic and the most preferable way for you to become a successful blogger. And that is......By writing a lot and reading a lot. 

Though, in reality, people or most of us tend to read a lot then to write a lot, only a few people can balance the writing and the reading process throughout their day.

The tip for you to enjoy writing is to express your thoughts and put your feelings while writing.

(Am I getting emotional?) Well, there is a saying, in everything that you do or in anything that you love to do, put your heart into it and it will show. This may sound unrealistic, but the readers will feel through your words how passionate you are in writing. 

Marketing is visible in blogging. Well, you already know what I mean. Product reviewers (like me)
promotes the product itself. 

Not here to hate but there is an annoying part in here, most of the time other product reviewers tend to give the only positive side of the product (and it really annoys me). 

Well, we can't blame them, money makes the market go around. (But I do salute bloggers who post unique content and not falsified comments about products! Salute you guys!!)

To blog takes time. It really does, you have to really think of a unique content that would take the
attention of the readers and to also think of the words you are going to use. 

There are many reasons why there are people venture into blogging. You are able to share your opinions and thoughts with people around the world. 

You were able to help people, by giving factual information and by sharing your experiences in life that they may take as a guide. 

You are making a difference, other writers or bloggers tend to write contents that are for the issues in the society or to let the people realize what is happening around them. 

You are becoming more creative, blogging is not just enhancing your communication and writing skills, but also the creativity in you. 





Thank you for reading! Always spread Good Vibes!
