Why Is Blogging So Popular?
There are several reasons why entrepreneurs have turned to blogging.
#1.Search engines love new content, and as a result, blogging is a great search engine optimization (SEO) tool.
#2.It’s a great way to keep your customers and clients up-to-date on what’s going on, let them know about new achievements, and provide tips. The more a customer comes to your blog, the more likely they are to spend money.
#3.It allows you to build trust and rapport with your prospects. Not only can you show off what you know, building your expertise and credibility, but because people can post comments and interact with you, they can get to know you, and hopefully, will trust you enough to buy from you.
#4.Blogs can make money. Along with your product or service, blogs can generate income from other options, such as advertising and affiliate programs.
The Downside Of Blogging
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:
Blogging requires a great deal of time. For blogs to be effective at SEO and engaging readers, it needs to be updated regularly with fresh content. This ensures your blog has frequent visitors looking for new content. Content generation will take up most of your time. Getting something new to write about is seldom an easy task. The upside about this however could be having guest writers or features shared on your blog.
Creativity block is another hurdle bloggers face. As much you have the features and all these ideas you can write about. Bloggers do have creativity blocks on how to present a post. The payoff isn’t immediate either. One of the biggest frustrations with blogging is that it’s time-consuming with little payoff in the beginning. It takes time to build up a readership and momentum.
Why Do People Blog?
Every human has a voice and wishes their voice to be heard. The Internet is a medium that is unparalleled in its reach. Never before have average people like you or me been able to reach a global audience with so little trouble.
There are still many people who like to share the details of their days. They may post twenty or thirty times a day, detailing when they ate lunch and when they work. On the other hand there are bloggers who give almost no detail about their lives, but write instead about a hobby or interest. They may dedicate their blog to something they are passionate about even if it’s them!
Which of the above shocked you most!😛
