A blog is a platform with which you implement some ideas, thoughts, news, that are visible for all the Internet users and that at some point may become a significant source of money. The first blogs that appeared on market are even now successful, the topics debated being not necessarily new, but very interesting. At that time it was important only the idea itself: “Look! A blog, let’s see what it says” and so it began to appear dozens, hundreds and thousands of blogs worldwide.

As the numbers have increased, it started to be more difficult for the founders and editors to attract visitors and mostly to monetize everything. Now, to become a successful blogger with great popularity and profit, you must write about a topic of general interest to all. If you write about what you did yesterday in the city with your friends probably some of your acquaintances will read it daily, but the visitors coming from Google’s world won’t be that interested in what you do in a sunny bright day.

To become a successful blogger you have to adapt to the public demands, namely, to learn to write about what interestes them. Also, you need to document a time before you write about something, to avoid going on moving sands, and to treat things with a balanced substance of objectivity and subjectivity. However, until you get to write those topics, you need a blogging platform that would serve yourself and your ideas. Luckily, when it comes to blogging, you can find many sites such as BlogSpot or the WordPress application, that provide free services, but with your name behind their field  (eric.blogspot.com) and not www.eric.com as it would be most convenient for you.

It is convenient to have a blog with your name and not other’s name, because you are easily found on Google, your topics can be found easily by all the Internet users worldwide, and if well chosen, the name can become very popular among the public. All the bloggers must write qualitative topics and articles. By “quality”, we mean treating a particular topic from all angles to be accepted and understood by all social groups, written in simple terms, meant to activate the individual’s imagination during the time used for reading your article and to be able to understand better the presented situation, and the subjectivity and objectivity to be present in equal proportions in every situation.

One thing is clear, some bloggers are too subjective and lose their credibility with readers and other bloggers follow another pattern and use perhaps too much seriousness, that inspires too much objectivity; in this way they manage to look like robots without emotions or personal opinions. The charm of which any blogger can benefit  is the percent of subjectivity and creativity that is allowed in each material, because the readers do not expect at news and reviews presented in black and white, but as a responsibility and respect for those who read you every day, you need to document very seriously about the topic, in order to provide additional reasons to the discussed subjects.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

It is essential that besides a long array of words to place a suggestive image, which refers to the discussed subject. For example you can see the picture above this paragraph, and imagine about what this article is talking. A suggestive image, well chosen, may give interest and motivate the reader to read the rest of the article or provides a larger image of what is discussed in the following lines.
