Blogging is another stream of income for people that carry an entrepreneur DNA. Decades before the term “startupers” emerge, a tribe of digital bees was actively writing and publishing their words in blogs. Back in the days, we called them: weblogs.

In a way, we can say that the journalists and writers, back in the early 1990s, showed us how to use blogs to make unknown voices be heard. Today many bloggers earn their living through this activity. So from the days (1991-1994) when blogging was just a hobby, today it’s a business of billions.

From January 1994 when the very first blog was created up to today’s microblogging platforms, blogging is a major part of the internet’s growth and digital marketing evolution.

How not to mention that blogging is a tool of personal branding. By giving free and valuable information to your target market, makes the market come to you. It is true, that clients know what is best for them and who is the best fit for what they need. Never underestimate a client’s IQ and EQ. Blogging has helped me to sell my skills without even trying to do so!

Dancing with new ideas is fascinating and rewarding enough to make you want to go further on this road. Think of bloggers as the new breed of explorers. Bloggers seek to unfold the hidden mysteries of life or what is left unseen!
