A Blog A Day Keeps Doctors Away, Part-1

Hey everyone,

Blogging is another way of making money online with or without investment.

What is a blog?

Kindly search google with the term, "What is a blog?". You will find many results, infact in millions. Somewhere, you will find this post also.

Many people say blog is a personal diary, many people say blog is an online journal, etc, etc.

Here is my version of a blog, Blog is a seed.

Now, what do you do with a seed, sow it, right.

Same with a blog, making your first blog post is like sowing a seed.

As soon as you sow a seed, does it become a tree and starts giving you fruits. I guess not, science has not advanced so much, haha.

Well, in case of blogging, its quite similar, you make your first post, help it grow into a healthy tree, then enjoy the fruits.

What are fruits? Well, it depends, in case of a fruitful tree, it can be apple, orange, pineapple or whatever seed you wish to sow. Well, in case of a blog, it is MONEY.

Now, lets consider the different kinds of seeds. The type of seed in case of blog is the TOPIC that you wish to start blogging about. So, what do you wish to grow, apples, pineapples, cherry’s, oranges, or something like a banana, haha, its your choice.

Now, lets consider the quality and nurturing of a seed into a beautiful, healthy and fruitful tree.

The quality of seed in case of blog is CONTENT. Whatever topic you choose, make sure that the content is good and try to make it as original as possible. Try to put your own words, it helps your readers to understand you as a person and a writer. Everyone likes, if they get a personal touch out of anything.

I do not believe that there can be anything known as a totally niche topic or something that you can call a purely original content. Everything is derived or taken forward or inspired by something. You will find many writers, books, ebooks, bloggers focusing on a similar topic. Many get inspired by someone and try to copy their content and style, sometimes they succeed, sometimes they dont. Choice is yours, you want to copy someones content or style and slowly develop it into your own originality or you just want to copy paste or you want to start writing something purely from your imagination. Your call.

Lets say you decide to grow apples. Now, there are many qualities of apples available in the market. Now, you think, what price do you want your apples to fetch for you. You decide, why will anyone pay you more for your apples, whats so special about your apple, whats different about your apple, whats the size of your apple, whats the quality of your apple. I guess, this example will make you think and help you make your choice and decisions in blogging content. In case of blogging, you can add a few more things like seasonal, demography, number of readers interested in your content and topic.

All the above factors will determine the demand and what you are willing to supply.

Well, you might have the best quality apples in your basket, but if there are no buyers, you will make no money. Isnt it.

So, marketing your apples is very important for you to attract buyers and ultimately make money. In case of blogging, marketing will be your blog PROMOTION and making money through MONETIZATION of your blog.

You need to make people understand and know that you are selling apples. Unless people know that you have apples to sell, how do you expect them to come to you and buy your apples. So, you need to spread the awareness on the world wide web, that you have a blog and it has something for them to gain from it.

I guess, thats the end of my version of a blog.

Happy blogging!
