Are blogs still popular, though?
Personal blogging, which is how the whole thing got started back in 1994, isn’t so popular these days. Most people have lost interest in introspective diary-style posts, and prefer to read informative or entertaining articles.
That’s why content marketing, which is a form of overseas data blogging, is the new focus, with businesses aiming to solve problems for their readers. This can include product recommendations (either affiliate products or their own) or explanatory guides (such as “Dos and Don’ts For A Web Conference Call” or “Affiliate Marketing Passive Income Or Full-Time Job?”).

Today there are more than 600 million blogs in existence, with 70 million new posts produced each month on WordPress alone. (It’s a far cry from the dawn of the millennium, when there were just 23 blogs out there!) Blogging is definitely still a thing, and it’s even more important that you have a strong brand in order to stand out from the crowd.
