So, you’ve read my first post about blogging titled Blogging Is Hard. Now that you’re here, i assume that you have decided to go on with blogging. You realized that blogging is not as easy job as it looks, you are aware that it takes more than just a normal effort to push yourself higher. You’ve prepared yourself for what’s coming. You are ready. Hold on, before you get yourself a blog, first you need to understand what does it means to have a blog. You need to know this as an introduction to the next move.


to publish
You are about to share information, knowledge and idea with others from all around the world. Your published articles will be public and accessible from anywhere. You are going to publish contents related to scopes you prefer. Articles you publish must be fresh/originally written by you, unique and attractive. You’ll need to spare more time doing research on topics related to scopes you prefer. You might also get some requests from your readers. Then, you’ll be publishing more and more articles depends on your blog’s current visitors and subscribers.

to communicate
You are offering help to your visitors who has interest in your articles. Giving respond to comments as quick as you can. Answering their questions, suggesting ideas or solutions that you think can help your commentators. If it’s beyond your knowledge, you’ll be pointing them to a right direction.
You’ll need to be open and understanding. You’ll need to learn to accept their ideas and respond in the best way. This relationship could go further as time pass by. A good interaction between you and your readers would give a big impact to your blog.

to have friends
Having a blog means to have friends. Virtual friends from all over the world. At first, you might feel a little bit lonely as you haven’t made many friends yet. But it’ll grow as your blog starts to expand much further. You’ll be doing the same thing as you’re doing in your real life. Meaning, you’re going to ‘ keep in touch ‘ with your friends.

to work as a team
Beside loyal readers, you’ll find yourself some real  friends on the net who share the same interest and objective as you do. You’ll be working together with them, making plans and strategies, helping and supporting each other. Chained tightly to your fellow blogger. If any goes up, the others will be following behind. If any goes down, the others will hold him off. This way, you and your fellow bloggers will have a higher percentage to rise and a lower percentage to fall. And that’s the beauty of teamwork.

O.k, if you understand what it means to have a blog then you are ready. Before you go wild, i would like to suggest an article as a doorway to this fantastic blogging world.
