The Truth About Blogging

 

You know how everyone says blogging requires passion? Well that’s not the only thing blogging requires. I’ll be expanding on this thought sometime later. For now, here are the links for your reading pleasure for this week.

The Writing Journey came back around the end of March writing about blogging. Bob tells us The Number One Rule of Blogging  and then went to takes on Copy Blogger. Nah – nothing that scandlous. Don’t Blog If You Suck At Writing disagrees with a guest post on copy blogger about how to be a successful blogger if you can’t write. Both sides raise valid points. Whichever side you agree with will largely depend on your experience of blogging

Blogopolis BluePrint is my new favourite blog. Apart from the usual content, Eric and Sean do videos – which is nothing new. But their videos are conversations. They’re two guys talking business and having a ball discussing their favourite topics. Doesn’t get better than that. In this video, they’re talking about The Highs and Lows of Blogging.

You're describing personal blogging as it used to be. This is the era of niches. Read blogs from experts about topics you're interested in. I'm interested in blogging and writing. So I read problogger, copyblogger etc. As for commercialization - people earn their livelihoods their blogs. They promote stuff that is actually helpful or else they'll lose their audience.

I see a decline ahead for social media because of: a) Commercialization: It's cycle, A promotes B and in return B promotes A to get C's attention. Soon or later C will realize it and boycott everybody. b) People don't have time and interest to read someone else's life and stories, the shortening duration of visits is an indication. c) I would call it an entertainment for those who have plenty of time.
