What is blogging?
It’s just like publishing a short story regularly, especially for creative writers. People blog about different things: politics, relationships, finance, health and wellness, personal life, history and so on. Some people do it for fun. Others make money through blogging.
Most bloggers lives revolve around finding the next topic for their blog post. But one thing they learn very swiftly is to focus on their readers. The target audience. They are like a bunch of people you were able to convince but moment your content deteriorates, they flee, never to return. In the beginning, it is tough and the first fifteen minutes while writing any post are the toughest. But with the time you learn to survive and if you are passionate about your topic you learn to create awesome content consistently.
For all the hard work you put into writing an article, blogging still manages to surprise you both in a nice way and also in a very unpleasant way. After a while, you understand the fact of life that you cannot please everyone all the time.
What it takes..
Blogging takes –
- patience
- consistency
- research
- quality
- passion
To do it well, it is like writing for a living. And that is HARD WORK.
