[dropcap size=small]B[/dropcap]logging has gained tremendous momentum in recent times. It started off in 2005 when India got its first blogger Amit Agarwal but even he wouldn’t have thought that this will be one of the most flourishing industry in the times to come. After Amit Agarwal, there had been many bloggers in the blogosphere, but still there is nothing that is holding back this industry.
The reason why blogging is gaining popularity is that it is imperative for organizations to reach out to its customer base. When a new product is launched in the market, these brands approach bloggers (popularly known as Influencers). [highlight ]Bloggers use the product and write reviews about them in their blog pages which reach out to the audience because of their social media handles.[/highlight]
The best part- Bloggers get paid for it.
The world has evolved by leaps and bounds and with the increase of internet users throughout the globe, brands find it easy to connect with them once they have quality content. To put it across in layman’s terms: When we were in our school days, we were asked to write essays on famous personalities. The whole idea was to check our knowledge on that particular subject. The difference is, at that time the only audience that we needed to cater was our teacher. Now, let’s relate our school experience of writing essays to the experience of writing blogs. [highlight ]You are assigned a topic to write (Brands approaching you) —> You Submit your write-up (Publish on your blog page so that visitors can see, comment and share).[/highlight] This clearly indicates that we have been almost into blogging since our childhood days.
As a blogger, I would only say that this is a growing industry which has no boundaries. [highlight ]If you are good at something, you should start writing about it. It can be anything- Food, Fashion, Tech or anything else.[/highlight] And this is what top bloggers suggest. The most important aspect here is to know what you are good at or as we bloggers say Understand your Niche.
