  1. Hey there!

    Again, you shared another wonderful post and this time around about blogging, and this, I believe should help the wanna-be bloggers or even the average bloggers get a better hand of what the term, “Blogging” truly means.

    Blogging is not just for fun, but also for business.

    Really, gone are the days when blogging used to be about fun and what you are interested in…

    …Today, blogging is instead about what people, that is, your target audience are interested in and you’ve got to make sure you serve it to them the way and how they want it.

    That’s called “Niche”.

    You grab?

    Your definition is cool. I like it. So succinct.
