Blogger vs Writer


What is blogger anyway? If somebody ask, what is blogging or blogger, can we answer? Do think blogger and writer are the same? Yes, I think blogger and writer are quite in similar category. The difference is the media where they put their opinion. Most writers write in paper media, while bloggers definitely use the power of the Internet on spreading their vision and thought.

Which one is better of those two? Mostly, writer is well known as someone with reputation. Writer of a book or novel, writer of newspaper story, they must have offline self-reputation take make people read their story. On the other hand, blogger is consider as no-one. No one to become someone. They try to prove their existence by writing their opinion, fact, or news in blogs.

If I or you or anybody like to write, or even want to use it as their daily activities (full time of course), what should we do? First, cultivate your blog. Create niche market. Blog about anything we like. From gadget to flowers, from household to parenting. Anything that we consider we can be a rockstar.

For a while, we will think that it is useless. Nobody visit it or mis-landing on it. But once it begins to gain mass comment (and money), you will never regret it. Even we can get addicted from it. Once addicted, can we escape? Why should we escape from something we like?

Do we still want to become those employees with limited salary? Blogger as paid person, probably not having enough amount of payment, not as much as Pashto linguist. But blogger can make thousand per month by advertising it. Yes, our blog is our own newspaper, our shiny jewelry waited to be polished. Can we be patient on polishing it? Word said, good things come to those who wait :)
