In this day and age, it seems as though blogging is definitely on the rise. Whether it is video blogging through YouTube channels, or the simple old-school writing articles on the internet, blogging and its popularity are at an all time high.

There are so many benefits to Blogging, for starters, blogging pro-vides a creative outlet for writers on various topics that interest to them. Such as make-up and beauty reviews, travelling, sports and whatever seems to be trending these days. It allows for its writers to really dive deep into their passions while providing a positive outlet for them to release such passions. While still discussing the basics of blogging, it also allows for its writers to practice and refine their writing skills which makes them a better writer in the long run.

However, there are so many bigger implications to blogging. For example, depending on an authors writing skills and the amount of exposure their blog receives, bloggers can go as far as actually making money from their writing. Whether making money is earned through the amount of writing the author completes for their blog, or from other professional marketing opportunities, the possibilities of a blog can be absolutely endless, but it all depends on how seriously an author takes it.
