So what is this Blog thing everyone keeps talking about? A Blog is a specific type of website. It’s actually two words mixed together “Web” and “Log”.  Basically its your standard type of website but in a journal, dairy format. Blogs are chronologically ordered with newest article at the very top and written with the intention to personally communicate with it’s readers, as to almost have an actual conversation using only the web pages on the blog. With blogs readers can leave comments on articles they have read and the author can reply back which creates the online conversation.

Blogs are not just a way up for someone’s to let everyone know what’s going on in their personal life, it can be about anything you want to write about. You can talk about your passions, interests or even dislikes. With so many things to talk about and the way a Blog is like a diary, it’s constantly being updated. Making it more SEO – Search Engine Friendly with websites like Google because the pages are being frequently updated as opposed to your standard website which usually stays static and rarely changes.

Most importantly why would we use a Blog to make money online. If a blog can generate an online conversation people tend to trust & value other peoples opinions more then just a regular website. Also with the nature of a blog search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing give higher rankings to certain keywords people search for. So basically any person who has a deep passion, interest or skill that they can write about on their blog that other people can benefit from or relate too, build an audience and have them coming back. The Blog can then monetize all the traffic it generates.
