Blogging is no longer a new phenomenon in the United States, and at the last count, 50,000 blogs are being created every day, and each blog represents the voice, and the passion of the blogger behind it. Isn't it time that you joined the 112 million bloggers in the United States and started blogging?
But while 50,000 blogs are created every day, many of them die a slow, or not so slow death when the blogger behind the blog stops posting. Gets bored, loses interest, or perhaps just never finds their voice or their passion for blogging. To find what you are passionate about or interested in, or just to find your voice, isn't always an easy thing in the world of blogs, and with this book, the editors of the Huffington Post are here to help you, and to help the Blog you create.
In this book, they explore the history of blogs and blogging, and even "blogger zero", the man who first started blogging, and interview him to find out what drove him. But to blog isn't as easy as just starting up your computer and starting to write. First there had to be software to make it, if not easy, at least easier to write, and how that software came about is also covered in the book.
Starting your own blog is easy, but if you want to get big, and you want to get noticed, there are some things to keep in mind. To contrast to the kind of single-blogger blog like my own, the editors of the Huffington Post show how they went about starting up their own blog, from the initial partners who decided that the world needed a news blog and decided that they would cover the stories that were not covered, ignored, or couldn't be covered by mainstream news media, and once they found their niche, the web more or less beat a path to their door. Can you do the same?
Why not? The editors give their secrets and show how to make them work for you. With plenty of ideas on how to make your blog work and attract people who will enjoy reading your blog, this book is heavy on the information, and also heavy on the fun, with lots of information to help your blog survive and hopefully, even become popular. It's packed with information from the celebrities and non-celebrities that make the Huffington Post possible and ensure it such a wide readership.
While not every idea in this book may work for you, if you are interested in blogging, or just want to learn more about it, this book is for you. It may even get you interested in starting your own blog. And with a selection of favorite posts from the Huffington Post, you can see some of the successes the Huffington Post had along the way.
