What is blog that is the question i ask from my self for the first time while creating a blog.Some of the definitions that i find through different sources.
- ‘A weblog is a hierarchy of text, images, media objects and data, arranged chronologically, that can be viewed in an HTML browser.’
- ‘A frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts and Web links.’
- ‘From “Web log.” A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is “blogging” and someone who keeps a blog is a “blogger.”‘
- ‘A weblog is kind of a continual tour, with a human guide who you get to know. There are many guides to choose from, each develops an audience, and there’s also comraderie and politics between the people who run weblogs, they point to each other, in all kinds of structures, graphs, loops, etc.’
- ‘A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is “blogging” and someone who keeps a blog is a “blogger.” Blogs are typically updated daily using software that allows people with little or no technical background to update and maintain the blog. Postings on a blog are almost always arranged in cronological order with the most recent additions featured most prominantly.’
- ‘A blog is a website in which items are posted on a regular basis and displayed in reverse chronological order. The term blog is a shortened form of weblog or web log. Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Individual articles on a blog are called “blog posts,” “posts” or “entries”. A person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”. A blog comprises text, hypertext, images, and links (to other web pages and to video, audio and other files). Blogs use a conversational style of documentation. Often blogs focus on a particular “area of interest”, such as Washington, D.C.’s political goings-on. Some blogs discuss personal experiences.’
So What Is Blog?
Confused yet? Don’t be – its really quite simple. To put it as simply as possible – a blog is a type of website that is usually arranged in chronological order from the most recent ‘post’ (or entry) at the top of the main page to the older entries towards the bottom.
Blogs are usually (but not always) written by one person and are updated pretty regularly. Blogs are often (but not always) written on a particular topic – there are blogs on virtually any topic you can think of. From photography, to spirituality, to recipes, to personal diaries to hobbies – blogging has as many applications and varieties as you can imagine. Whole blog communities have sprung up around some of these topics putting people into contact with each other in relationships where they can learn, share ideas, make friends with and even do business with people with similar interests from around the world.
Make money through blog:
You can make money through blog by adding Google ads to your blog and when any person click on that ad you will get a particular amount of money that is particular for every blog that Google provides you with.
Can you make a decent income online?
Yes, absolutely. At the very least, a high five-figure annual income is certainly an attainable goal for an individual working full-time from home.i have seen a lot of blog that are not that good but they make considerable amount of money If you have a day job, it will take longer to generate a livable income, but it can still be done part-time if you’re willing to devote a lot of your spar time to it.
Thriving on change:
Your greatest risk isn’t that you’ll make mistakes that will cost you. Your greatest risk is that you’ll miss opportunities. You need an entrepreneurial mindset, not an employee mindset. Don’t be too concerned with the risk of loss — be more concerned with the risk of missed gains. It’s what you don’t know and what you don’t do that will hurt you the worst. Blogging is cheap. Your expenses and financial risk should be minimal. Your real concern should be missing opportunities that would have made you money very easily. You need to develop antennae that can listen out for new opportunities. I highly recommend subscribing to Darren Rowse’s Problogger blog — Darren is great at uncovering new income-generating opportunities for bloggers.
The blogosphere changes rapidly, and change creates opportunity. It takes some brains to decipher these opportunities and to take advantage of them before they disappear. If you hesitate to capitalize on something new and exciting, you may simply miss out. Many opportunities are temporary. And every day you don’t implement them, you’re losing money you could have earned. And you’re also missing opportunities to build traffic, grow your audience, and benefit more people.
Your overall income strategy/goal?
First while creating your blog you should have a goal or strategy for your blogs income per month.The minimum amount that i prefer is 3000$ per month and for achieving this goal you should check and update it everyday to reach that goal.
Blog Traffic:
There is a single thing of which you should worry about and that is he blog traffic.
Why is traffic so important?Becouse most of the method of generating online income is due to the traffic.If u double your traffic you will double your income.No matter how much your blog stinks if you have traffic you can earn a considerable amount of money.
Traffic is the primary fuel of online income generation. More visitors means more ad clicks, more product sales, more affiliate sales, more donations, more consulting leads, and more of whatever else that generates income for you. And it also means you’re helping more and more people.
How to build traffic?
Now if traffic is so crucial, how do you build it up to significant levels if you’re starting from rock bottom?
There are alot of ways of building traffic but for the starters i will suggest a site that can give you a traffic upto 50,000 per month.The other traffic websites want money for giving you traffic but this is totally free 'blogcarnival.com' .This is the opportunity that you cant miss.multi-carnvival submission form you can easily go to the site through here.
Multiple streams of income:
You don’t need to put all your eggs in one basket. Think multiple streams of income. On this site I actually have six different streams of income. Can you count them all? Here’s a list:
- Google Adsense ads (pay per click and pay per impression advertising)
- Donations (via PayPal or snail mail — yes, some people do mail a check)
- Text Link Ads (sold for a fixed amount per month)
- Chitika eMiniMalls ads (pay per click)
- Affiliate programs like Amazon and LinkShare
(commission on products sold, mostly books)
- Advertising sold to individual advertisers (three-month campaigns or longer)
