Let’s start this blog by pondering about what a blog actually is. Even though the term resonates like some blob of bubblegum, it has a very interesting etymology.
In the later 1990’s, a genius named Peter Merholz got bored with the lengthy word ‘weblog’ and decided to cut it short. He announced: “For what it’s worth, I have decided to pronounce the word ‘weblog’ as ‘wee-blog’ or ‘blog’ for short”. His decision came to the fore and ta-da! From then on, the term weblog came to be known as a blog.
Now, doesn’t that sound cool?
“Yes, yes, it is interesting, but why should I be practicing it?”, you must be thinking. Allow us to walk you through the perks of having a blog and sticking on with it.
It’s like writing your personal diary or explaining your personal problems to someone. After you empty the intricate problems of your mind by scribbling out all of them, you get a kind of relief that is quite inexplicable.
Continuous Blogging can help in improving your language.
In the beginning, you tend to simply brainstorm your ideas but later you’d decide to put more thought into it. Narrowing down your wide flowing thoughts and chiseling them into beautifully structured paragraphs is a process that would happen eventually.
After writing for some time, your confidence would grow leaps and bounds and you would even be able to publish your works and earn rewards and appreciation.
Even the social introverts and experimenters find a blog comfortable platform to express themselves.
This method is even helpful in enhancing your business websites and increasing its traffic. Oh- this thing can do wonders!

The customer becomes your close buddy!
