WHY BLOGGING ISN'T POINTLESS?

I have heard many times things along the lines of  "Everyone and their Mom has a blog"- to speak in rebuttal my Mom thinks wifi is just something that appears anywhere you are...she is technologically illiterate. Realistic speaking, yes the bloggersphere is chock full of crazy writers. I have choosen for a few years now to be among this no longer elite fab. Partaking in such a well known hobby means the usual criticism  "WHO CARES?" Believe it or not people can make their living off of blogging (I have yet to master how to get more then 10 cents from mine in over 2 years but I will get there haha)
I wanted to blog to you today  *hands you a coffee* to mainly stress the point that what I spend my time doing along with the millions of others out there is not at all pointless. (unless you're a soil conservation blog for climate control---I'm sure no one reads those) I will make an ATTEMPT at being short and sweet in why BLOGGING IS NOT A WASTE...

CONTENT: Each and every blog has a distinct theme, style of writing, and general content it produces. Every writer on any blog out there is an individual, therefore provides their individualized approach and style to the issues or happenings they blog about. This gives the readers maybe a new found tip, or second opinion they have been needing. I myself am an avid Google zombie, I stumble over to Google for every brain picking question I have, and always rely on the lovely bloggers otu there who have wrote tips and tricks for things in life. The content of each blog is usually focused on a certain topic, and each blog is like a person...and everybodies different, so even though the number of bloggers is insane, they all serve purpose.

FLARE:along with the idividualized approach to each blog I mentioned just then- you have the bloggers specific characterization to their content. If you're and older person looking for political news you're going to search for a more serious tuned down informative blog. If you're a teenager searching for life's big question you will feel most comfortable in a casual, human like blog. Every different blog have a different person behind it, that is like the difference between attending a wedding, and a funeral.

BRAND: A blog follows a theme (again, as I mentioned earlier) and staying true to that theme is what makes or breaks you as a blogger. I have devised a system called the 3 C's. COLOR, CONTENT,

CONSISTENCY: If your 3 C's play in together nicely you will have a good brand. Most bloggers and vloggers set a schedule- for me I blog at least once a week- Think of it like bloggers being STARBUCKS or MCDONALDS, they are always staying fresh big companies. Staying true to your readers brings them back.

            Hopefully this has shown you how the use of blogging really is a much needed thing in our world, not to mention a great hobby for any person to get into.
THE COMMENT QUESTION: "What do you think sets bloggers apart most?"
