What’s trending these days? What’s something that’s everywhere? Oh, I know! Internet! It’s used regularly nowadays. Besides providing information and entertainment, the internet also offers various career opportunities, of which the most common one is blogging. In a way, we can even say that blogging has become the new trend these days.
I had started blogging in 2020, but I didn’t get the expected results right away. Of course, before starting it, I looked up all the basic requirements I thought I needed, but it turns out there was more to it than I thought. I lacked quite a few skills, which I worked on later and now I can say that I’ve started to become satisfied with the results I generate. Well, to get some of the advanced skills to excel in this field, I watched online courses and read some books as well.
Blogging is one of the emerging fields in this modern era. However, there is one misconception about this field in the mind of youngsters that it is easy to succeed in blogs. Blogging is one of the fields that is good as well as a lot competitive than expected and needs a lot of advanced knowledge. Creative content, SEO, Affiliate, Backlinks, Keyword research, strategies, etc. are many fields in Digital marketing and books can be one of the ways to understand them widely.
As I stated above, it was only until later that I came to know what I lacked. If you don’t want to repeat the same mistake, read the following books before starting blogging.
