Before social networks existed, people shared their stories, creations, and basically anything that came to mind on blogs. Blogs were a type of website where people could write posts, share photos and videos for free. There was also a commenting option so people could write what they liked about your post or whether they agreed with it.
The problem was getting people to see the blog. Since blogs basically function like any other website, so to speak, all kinds of advertising had to be used to “get people to see” them. Of course, in most cases it was not very successful, but in a few cases people actually followed it.
Another problem was that people gradually stopped coming to the site if for some reason they didn\’t post anything for a long time. Why, when there is nothing new to share? Then when they went back to blogging, they had to bring people back.
So the question is, is it still worth blogging today when social networks do essentially the same thing better and easier? Ultimately, this is why blogs have seen a significant decline in popularity in recent years. Still, this is not to say that blogging is suitable for everyone. In fact, there are still people who would benefit from this option.
First and foremost are those who publish actual articles on specific topics. These basically get lost in the flood of social media posts, but putting them together in a blog not only makes them look better, but also helps the author.Many people also use their blogs as a kind of e-shop, where they take orders and showcase new products. This is especially true if, for example, they want to have a price list or catalog that visitors can flip through.
So it is not the end of this type of website. It has just become more specialized and fewer people are using it. But it still has its place.
