A blog (also called weblog) is basically an online site or journal
wherein you can digitally pen down your thoughts, ideas, opinions and
practically anything that you want people to read. Blogs
come in different styles, formats, and settings, depending on the preference of
the user. Many blogging sites, offer built in features such as hyperlink,
straight texts, pictures, etc.
The most popular blog services are Blogger and WordPress. I prefer WP as it has tons of features and tools that are very helpful for an online entrepreneur.
Basically a blog contains these features:
Title - which allows you to label your post
Body - this is the content of your post track back- other sites can be linked back to your blog
Permanent link - every article that you write has a URL
Comments - this allow readers to post comments on your blog.
One of the advantages of blogging, is that unlike other websites, this is made up of numerous individual pages. This makes it easier for blog users to create new pages, because it already has a fix setting that includes: slots for title, body of the post, category, etc.
This is especially useful for first time users, since they can start blogging right away. They can chose from a number of templates that blogging websites provide.
How to brand yourself with blogs?
One big advantage of using blogs is that blogging is not just limited to personal usage.
There are a lot of blogs that follow a theme such as: business, sports, politics, philosophy, social commentary, etc. This way blogging becomes a medium in which people can share their knowledge and opinions about a variety of themes and topics.
Some authors advertise their books on their blogs, while others use their blogs to shed light to currents issues, events, news, education, social life, politics, etc.
A lot of online and off-line entrepreneurs benefit from blogging by promoting their businesses. With millions of people coming on the net everyday, blogging has become a lucrative move.
Your exposure online is huge because bloggers communicate within themselves. This is one of the appeals of blogging. It creates a community of people sharing their ideas, thoughts, and comments with each other.
Blog is a perfect way to brand yourself on the cyberspace. If you want to succeed online you MUST have at least one BLOG online TODAY, not tomorrow!
