As you go around and meet new people, you also come across ‘Bloggers’ who take a lot of pride in calling themselves that! Ever experienced it? Yeah…I did too!

But I never quite understood what their job was and why they took so much Pride in calling themselves Bloggers? After a bit of curiosity, research and meetings with a few Bloggers, I finally understood what it meant to actually be a Blogger. And today, I am going to share with you all what I found out about being a Blogger, What they do and What makes this term and profession so much more interesting.

But first, let’s get a few terms and definitions straight for easy understanding:

Who is a Blogger after all? 

According to the Dictionary, a Blogger is “a person who regularly writes material for a blog”

So now the question arises, What is a Blog? 

According to the Google Dictionary again, a Blog is “a regularly updated website or web page, typically run by an individual or a small group, that is written in an informal or conversational style.” 

• Is it a Chef giving cooking tips and delicious recipes regularly?
• Or a Fashion student teaching people how to style better for any event?
• Is it a Filmmaker giving intriguing details and behind the scenes of a film?
• Or a Mother giving out details on how to do the ‘job’ of parenting better? 

Honestly speaking, it’s all of the above and much more than this. In fact, It’s beyond our imaginations. Nearly everything that exists in the world, tangible or not, has been covered by people who write blogs and have interests in those subjects. Blogs are not just limited to writing. You can even post pictures, videos and photos of anything and everything you want.

So what does a Blogger actually do?

A Blogger is a person who probably does all of the above and has a sense of knowledge on a particular genre or topic, be it travel, lifestyle, fashion, food, etc. Their work basically involves regularly writing articles and publishing it as a Blog such that it provides information, experience or promotion on a Webpage, thereby influencing a person, audience or a community.

But What Makes Blogging So Interesting?

 There are a lot of factors that makes Blogging Interesting but what really fascinated me are these few but very very Important factors like:

The Need to Express

Human beings are born with a special need to Express and Voice their Opinions. It’s in our DNA. Before the digital age, people had very few opportunities to be heard. If you had your book published or a column in the newspaper, you were considered lucky to have your voice heard by the masses. But today, where the whole world lies in our phones, it’s easier to have an online platform and write about subjects that interests you. 

You have a lot of other platforms like WordPress or Blogspot that can help you with an appealing domain name and customizable themes that can go with your subject, all at a tap of a button.

Freedom of Speech

Blogging offers a platform that gives you the freedom to express anything you like, feel, or want. A Blogger with a blog is in full control of what they write and publish, without any censorship interfering with their subject of matter. 

Blogger needs no degree or qualification

Yeah. You read it right. You really don’t require a degree or any formal qualification to start a Blog. All you require is an interest and an opinion to voice things out. So cool, right?

You Have a Platform of your Own 

Bloggers don’t just write for the sake of publishing, but they aim at building a digital community. If you are consistent and evolve over time, you can attract a lot of audience and even start monetizing out of it, thus creating your own platform to perform. 

You leave a Legacy behind

Anything that you publish on your blog, doesn’t just disappear overtime. It stays forever.

It even means that after you’re gone, your blogs won’t just disappear in the air.  

So how does a Blogger actually make Money ?

There are a lot of bloggers who make loads of money and take blogging as a full time profession these days. It truly depends on a few important factors. If you have a certain amount of readers and visitors on your webpage or Blog, you can monetize it. Another way a blogger can monetize his or her post is by Ad Networks, Direct Advertisements, Native Advertising, Paid reviews/Sponsored posts, Sell Digital products (eBooks or applications), Offer Online consulting and a lot more.

Other Factors to be kept in mind that determine the amount you earn is, the subject you choose to write about, how much traffic you generate for your blog and any Digital Marketing Techniques you use.

In a nutshell, Blogging is a millennial profession where people end up sharing or promoting their lifestyle, experiences, fashion, food, etc such that it facilitates them to work with brands, businesses and earn revenue likewise.

Well, I never thought I’d ever write a blog, but here I am. And It’s a fun process blended with a lot of creative learning. 

So, If you want to start blogging, now is the good time. You’ll definitely learn as you grow and even create a whole like minded community of yours.

Starting a blog is comparatively easy so don’t think twice and start out right now. Trust me, you will do it!
