How Many Different Ways Are There To Use A Blog?
Having concentrated mostly on web sites and now a somewhat late-comer to the blogging arena, I got to wondering how many different ways to use a blog were there, and then how to start a successful blog? What better way to find out the answer to that question than to fire up the trusty search engine and see what results were produced.
According to one search engine on the day I did my search, in the first part, there were 93,200 instances or pages of information that would give the answer to my question. On the first search result page alone I added up a total of 80 ideas. I started to go through a few of the top-ranked site search results and found them very interesting indeed. And surprisingly they didn’t overlap on the ideas but complimented each other. But after checking a few more I found the same answers appearing, if not all but many were similar.
So the question is ‘how many different ways are there to use a blog?‘ Lets see if we can collect all of them here so that new-comers and late-comers to blogs and blogging can be more fully informed in one place rather than 93,200! Then more importantly, how to create a successful blog or how to make your blog successful if you already have one would be the next topic of interest.
So far these seem to be the most popular ways to use a blog, and in no particular order of preference:
- Personal Weblog
- Professional Interest Blog
- Website for Your Company
- Online Resume
- Publish A Newsletter
- A Communication Platform for Companies
- A Brainless Instant Publishing Site to Make Money
- Project Development and Status Announcements
- Collaboration Project Logs
- A Chatroom Creator
