Free Blogs: New Paradigms for Creativity

When blogs were started as a medium of expression of views and ideas, and whose tenth anniversary was celebrated just a few years ago nobody would have thought that free blogs would emerge as a potent medium of revenue generation based on the original ideas. There are blogs and there are blogs, and those, which are free blogs, are the most popular ones. In the recent times quite a large number of blogs that appeared on free blog sites has been converted into books. With the proliferation of live cricket blogs, running parallel to a cricket match, making it more exciting, the cricket bloggers have emerged as celebrities.

It is however not an easy task to make the free blog a money-spinner. It needs quite a lot of patience, ability to have an uncanny ability to point out the uncommon from the common, and elicit comments on the blogs on a regular basis. A free online blog can become successful only when it elicits comments from the viewers, as also from the moderator who takes keen interest, but it all would depend upon the nature of the content. The elixir of “My blog” appearing on a website along with a photograph makes you a celebrity in a jiffy, but it should not be made ephemeral and hard labour has to be put into to see to it that your face is a constant on a website.

You can initiate the business of free blog by writing for instance about the manner in which the cricket is played in your background, or reporting from ground zero. If you would be able to chip in with nuggets, in your free blogs, through the composition of the team, the manner in which runs are made, the process through which a batsman can be declared out, would make your blog really lively.

The potential for a cricket blog being successful, is more pronounced as it is one sports which has a fan following that transcends barrier of caste, creed, nationality, everything. Free blog can be made interesting by reading. If you can lay hands on a chronicle of old times, and start blogging through free blog, you are sure to generate hits to a great extent. The mantra of free blog is to be original and creative and then the sky is your oyster
