What’s the first thing you do when you wake up? Let me guess; you check your mobile phone. How do I know? Because I’m not different! Not only you and me, but almost everyone has the same habit. People are always on their devices, either seeking education or entertainment these days. But have you ever wondered that everything we do on the internet benefits some other person? Yes, this is precisely what happens and I think it’s high time we start profiting from it too.
Internet is a vast and rapidly growing industry. It offers many career opportunities and one such career option is blogging. Not everyone does blogging to make a career out of it. Some also do it for fun and a little side income. I’ve been into blogging for quite some time now and I can say for sure that if explored, blogging can prove to be a fulfilling career option for us.
Many people confuse blogging with content writing. Blogging is somewhat about content writing but not limited to it. Blogging includes thorough research about a particular topic, expressing and discussing it on an online platform (mostly a website), and adding life to it by inserting images, videos, and other visual content.
Now, no one is born a blogger, and good for us, blogging is a skill one can learn from various sources. One such source is by reading a few books about blogging. I’ve learned so many things about blogging by reading a couple of books and now, I’m going to share some more with you.
