How to Start a Blog in 2020?
2
What is a blog?
  • In short, a blog is a type of website, also known
    as blog posts, that focuses primarily on written
    content. We most frequently hear about news blogs
    or celebrity blog sites in popular culture, but
    how to start a blog on just about any subject
    imaginable, as you can see in this guide.
    Bloggers also write from a personal point of view
    that enables them to directly communicate with
    their readers. Furthermore, most blogs also have
    a segment called comments where readers can
    correspond with the author. Interacting in the
    comments section with your readers helps to
    further the link between the blogger and the
    reader.

Should you start a blog?
  • To be good, one of the myths about starting a
    blog is that you need to be a great writer. There
    could be nothing further from the facts. To get a
    personal perspective on things, individuals read
    blog sites, but most bloggers write in a very
    casual and conversational style. Moreover, to
    have a good blog, you dont need to be an expert
    on your subject. Readers of a cooking blog, for
    example, dont want to read a food scientists
    textbook, they want to hear the insights of
    someone who has prepared some real meals, faults,
    and all. There is only one prerequisite to be
    successful as a blogger a passion for your
    subject.

  • If done correctly, blogging can be very
    lucrative. The worlds top bloggers obviously
    earn quite a bit, but if things are handled
    correctly, even a part-time blogger may expect to
    make a nice profit. The best thing about it is
    that blogging is a form of passive income, as you
    can only write a blog post for a few hours a week
    and then continue to make money from it long
    after the blog post is written. Ill go into much
    more depth in this guide on how to blog for money

    others can be a part of their lives with friends,
    family, and others.

    wont have paparazzi chasing you around. But a

    bloggers are known as experts, and some have even
    received book and movie offers based on their
    blogs.
