HOW TO START A PROFITABLE BLOG - WHAT EXPERTS WON'T TELL YOU

A BEGINNERS' GUIDE INTO MAKING WAVES IN THE WORLD OF BLOGGING UNCOVERED

A brief History into the 'Old' Traditional Press

Many years back, there were few members of the society who had the right to publish stories about people, politics, entertainment, fashion, generals news etc, in thousands of news holes. These set of people were core professionals in journalism, trained for many years in the University or Polytechnic/Monotechnics, for the purpose of dissemination of various news stories and with a very strong body (association), controlling the inflow/outflow (scrutinising and publishing) of such stories. 

They were also saddled with taking responsibility for any ethical or unethical standards in those newspapers/magazines respectively. And we should not also forget that the readership is very minute, i.e. it is meant for few high class individuals.

However, I am not saying this processes has been screened off or not acceptable again as of today, but we need to note that, gradually and very soon, with the trend of technology improvement and expansion of the world wide web (agitating for more quality contents and videos), it will finally go into extinction. 

Today, the old things are gradually fading off, all things are becoming new. Thanks to the new media, through which millions of information are content-analysed and sorted for. When blog came few years ago, it changed so many things, through the use of Internet in delivering various news and information to a target audience, which are usually far larger than the old 'press'. 

The truth is, if you will love to delve in to blogging or have the aspiration for telling/selling/sharing your stories online or about to start or perhaps you have started already, there are basic guiding principles or modules oprandi. Remember that, in life, there are reasons behind every action. so is blogging too, you must be sure to answer the questions of journalism, viz: 

what (the product/service/niche/information), why (reason/the driving force), when (time bond/deadline oriented), how(professional or leisure), for whom(your audience) and on which platform (where) do you want to start a blog. All these you will picture in your mind and on this I will be sharing with you one or two information that will guide you.
