WHAT IS A BLOG, REALLY?

I am sure you have heard of blogging or blogs or heard other people talk about them. You may have even seen one or two online.

Before I started my attraction marketing campaign, I had been on a few blogs, but did not read any particular blogs regularly. I absolutely had no idea how powerful they were as marketing tools.

The word blog is short for weblog. Blogs are online publishing platforms that allow publishers or bloggers to create and post content in reverse chronological order.

With blogs, anyone or any business can have a presence online without knowing anything about websites or web design.

There are millions of bloggers who regularly publish content on various topics. You can literally blog about anything.

Some blogs are personal and do not have many readers, while others are about popular topics that have millions of readers each day. Some blogs actually make millions of dollars every month because they are so widely read. They have gained the regular attention of a large, target market segment.

Blogging gained its popularity in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s in the political arena. Businesses and individuals quickly learned that blogging was a new, creative way to market any product or service online.

There you go, blogging defined.

Much Success!
