(Note this is the second post in a multi-post series. The first post is: Beginning Blogging: What is a blog?)
There are three main types of blogs; personal, professional, and business.
Personal blogs
Personal blogs are kept by people to inform family and friends about the things that are going on in their busy lives.Personal blogs are a great way for families who live far away from each other to share photos, cute stories, and other information. Personal blogs are also a great way for hobbyists to share with each other. (In case you are wondering, blogs can be made private by requiring all users to register and be approved by an administrator. This can create a very exclusive crowd if desired.)
Professional blogs
Professional blogs are blogs that make money from the blog itself. They have advertising and affiliate programs which are sold right on the site. Probably the best known professional blog is Problogger, which is a great place to network with people if you want to make money from your blog.
Business blogs
Business blogs are blogs that have a business purpose, such as selling a service or product, or posting updates for customers on solutions to problems. These are the kinds of blogs that I help people create. These are also the kinds of blogs that I will be discussing in the future.
Whichever type of blog you have, a blog is a great place to connect with others who have similar interests. The discussions that ensue because of blog posts are enlightening, bonding, and fun.
Until the next article,
