Writer, Producer or Store Owner


Why do you blog? Well given the intent of this website, it might be a safe assumption that you either blog to generate revenue or you blog as a method of generating interest in something you sell.

So should your blog be a Media Channel, a Store Front or an outlet for your writing?

Some might argue that it is all three, but that causes some conflicts. After all a media producer is not a store owner, nor necessarily a writer.  Same for the other two.  Whilst they might share some of the same traits they have unique skills to their own path.

Blogs are, primarily written, yes I know some are Vblogs, but for the purposes of this post I am focusing on written blogs.  Some guides available will refer to “Visitors” & “audience”, but hardly ever use the term “Reader”.  People don’t “Visit” a blog, they read it or they don’t, they aren’t an audience - your blog isn’t live nor is it a performance.  Which really leaves them as Readers, which makes you a writer.

So don’t try and be all the other things, be a writer, hone that craft, develop it, maintain it, enjoy it and your readers will thank you for it.
