Blogging is a means of publishing commentary, thoughts, or other content on the internet. Blogs can be used to express one’s opinion, provide information and tutorials on a particular subject, or even post pictures. Blogging has changed over the past 10 years with more people using it as a way to connect with others.
There are many reasons why blogging has become so popular in the past decade but there are two main reasons that seem to stand out:
1) blogger’s ability to share their thoughts and opinions without censorship;
2) blogging as an interactive medium for connecting with others.
How Blogs Have Changed Over The Last Decade
Blogs are a way for people to share their thoughts, opinions and experiences with the world. Blogs can range from personal journals to company-run blogs that update readers on new products or services.
The first blog was created in 1997 by Jorn Barger. It was called “Jorn’s Blog” and it was hosted on GeoCities. The first weblog, which is what we now call blogs, had no comments and no search engine optimization (SEO).
Blogs have evolved over the last decade by incorporating features like comments, tags, search engine optimization, social media integration and more. Today’s blog users can also subscribe to a blog’s RSS feed so they can receive notifications when new posts are published.
In this section we will explore how blogs have changed over the last decade as well as what they look like today.
What Will Blogging Look Like In The Future?
The future of blogging is uncertain, but there are some factors that will shape it. The first factor is the rise of influencer marketing. Bloggers will have to work hard to create a following and keep their followers engaged in order to make money from their blogs.
The second factor is the rise of video content, which has been steadily growing over the years. Video content has been shown to be more engaging than text-based content, so it’s likely that video will take over as the dominant form of blogging in the future.
Finally, bloggers need to be able to produce quality content quickly and efficiently, which means they’ll need tools that can help them do this better than ever before.
Conclusion: What To Expect From Blogging In 2023
The future of blogging looks bright and promising. There are many things to expect from blogging in 2023. With the advent of short form videos, we expect to see a lot more topic segmentation with bi directional linking between short format video platforms and blogs. Sources indicate that a whooping 55% spend less than 15seconds on a post. This is bound to affect long format blogs. This is because people are getting used to shorter and shorter forms of content. The traditional email list is still a great tool to have as it ensures a targeted fan base that increases the influence of one’s blog. This is not expected to wane in 2023.
With increase in internet speeds, coverage and availability of smart phones that promote consumption of media on the go, having vlogs to augment one’s blogs is not such a bad idea. 86% of businesses that adopted video content saw increased traffic to their websites, 78% had more sales and 94% say that their users understood their products or services much better, leading to more qualified leads.
