What is a blog?-What is Blogging?

WHAT IS BLOGGING

I am asked questions frequently from friends concerning what a blog is and how they are used. Sometimes I forget that I too did not know much about blogs at one point in my life and can understand now that it is hard to spark someone's interest in blogging without going into a little bit of detail about what a blog can be used for and how to use a blog for nearly any purpose.

A blog in its simplest form is a generic website built using some form of a GUI editor that allows you the author to simply type stories, news, posts, bulletins and more for others to read. Self-expression comes into play as you can add images and colors, unique fonts and links to other sites or documents.

A blog in it’s most complex form can outperform most world-class websites, accommodate millions of visitors per day, create thousands of dollars a month in income and release breaking news to the entire world hours before the world’s most popular media broadcasts.

Essentially a blog is what you can make of it. I express this because most people who inquire about blogging are interested in how they can make money from their blog if they were to start one up. Many blog owners/operators make a healthy income equivalent to their previous jobs, a select few have truly become millionaires, and most give up before they even begin to understand how to make money with a blog.

There are many things to understand when attempting to start a blog to create an income from it. First, you must learn how to blog, and blog well. We all started somewhere, we all failed too, however, don’t give up and have as much fun as possible! Once the fun is gone and the only goal is to make money it all falls apart. Pick topics you are familiar with and don’t expect a lot of traffic just because you hit the publish tab.

The best way as a beginner is to build a fan base around your topic. The easiest way to build a fan base is to host your own blog on a domain you own. A domain is your property and can be what you want concerning what is still available to be registered. Owning your very own blog such as YOURVERYOWNBLOG.com is the most essential and most powerful way to guarantee visitors and be able to retain their attention.

Consider this. You are at what-is-blog.com right now because you want to know what a blog is and how to get started, right? If I did not own this domain you may have ended up somewhere else, maybe even a site that really did not have any relevant information to the question (query) you typed (asked) into Google before landing here.

Notice my terminology, a search query is a request you make from a search engine like Google or Bing and the result to any query made upon the Internet at any time could pull up your website or blog as the answer ( relevance ) to the query made by the client.

Essentially the fundamental concepts of how a search engine works and knowing how to use the keywords the search engine needs to find a relevant answer to a query are all you need to know to begin. You have really just now been taught enough to begin a blog that can in due time become very successful.

So, if you want to be known as a professional blogger that blogs about cars, you would need to buy a domain that is somehow relevant to search engines about the topic of cars. Would a stranger click on YOURNAME.com to read about cars, or would they click on YOURNAMETHECAREXPERT.com to learn about cars? Most likely the latter of the two, and that goes for Google too, pick a unique domain name, something relevant to what it is you will be blogging about!
