Why Blog?

A blog is simply a blog-a website, typically hosted and maintained by an individual or company – that exists to share commentary, ideas, experiences, or stories through written text. The word “blog” is from the word “web log”, which was derived from the Swedish term “log” (“web log” is Old French). A blog is similar to a personal web site, but instead of having one’s own content published to the Internet, blog content is published and shared via the Internet. The most common content types on a blog are advertisements, news articles, tips and general information.

A blog can be an excellent way to get started building a home business. In fact, blogs are very popular among established companies looking to promote and increase exposure for their products and services. One of the biggest advantages of blogging is that it’s extremely easy to start and doesn’t require much money to get started. In addition, blogs can be used as a great form of communication between employees and managers, and a great way to share information with customers. A competitive analysis of a company’s blog can reveal many insights into the various products, services, customer needs, competitive environment, and other important information that help businesses succeed.

Another advantage of blogging is the ease and convenience of maintaining a blog. A blog can easily be updated by adding new blog posts, editing existing blog posts, or adding any number of additional comments. This allows readers to get involved with the blog, providing useful feedback to the authors and helping to make the blog a place where the authors can “hang out” and interact with their fans or followers. Finally, blogs allow for a quick and easy way for companies and individuals to get out “on the street” and meet others. For example, a random sampling of more than two hundred and fifty blog readers and contributors indicated that they’d visited a total of fifteen blogs in the last six months.
