A lot is known about what a blog is and its impact to the Internet,yet there are people who are still sceptical and still unaware about a blog potential.
- It is a platform for personal grouse or experience.A weblog or blog is certainly somewhat like an online diary,but now it is use more in breaking news and is gaining popularity if compared with traditional mainstream media like news on television or newspapers.
- Nobody reads them.Research by Pew Internet & American Life Project estimated that 32 million American reads blog regularly and that is only in America,what about other countries where blog is quite popular too.
- Nobody makes money with blog.Problogger,TechCrunch and John Chow,just to name a few A-list blogger that have a six figure annual income blogging,Perez Hilton celebrity blog earn as much as $50,000 a month,not to mention other non A-list blogger that earn from $1,000 to $5,000 a month.
- I prefer a website.Blogs have many advantages,among it are most blog is updated regularly,consistently,meaning each time you visit,there will be new posts.It is easy to arrange information on your blog in chronological order,meaning it is arrange from the latest to the older one and search engine just love this sort of structure.Blog is easy to update,easy to maintain.Blogs also allow user interaction,making it an efficient platform to build communities.
- It won't last long.Many people say that blogs will die sooner or later.There are blogs that no longer exist,or being abandoned not because blogging is dead,but mostly because the blogger lack direction when it starts,and by not achieving anything,they abandoned it.Everyday 120,000 new blogs are created,and there are 22 blogs currently in the Top100 most popular media websites on the Internet and there is certainly no sign that blogs are dying or will disappear.
- You can easily make money blogging.As contrast to some believe that you cannot earn from your blog,there is this certain thought that believe it is easy to make money blogging.To make some additional income,this is certainly true,but to make a living from blogging takes time,hard work and lots of patience.
- A good blog and good content can get you traffic.Yes and no..yes because a good blog with great content can certainly attract some decent followers and no because even though your blog is good,with great content,you still have to expose it,so people will know about your blog,then you will get traffic.
