A blog is an online diary or journal located on a website.

The content of a blog typically includes


text, pictures, videos, animated GIFs and even scans from old physical offline diaries or journals
and other hard copy documents. Since a blog can exist merely for personal use, sharing
information with an exclusive group or to engage the public, a blog owner can set their blog for
private or public access.
When a blog is made publicly accessible, anyone can typically find the blog through links available
on the blog owner’s individual or business website, their social media profiles, emails and e-
newsletters and online keyword search engines. Many blog owners also set up blogs on websites
devoted to the creation, storage and sharing of blogs, such as Blogger, LiveJournal, Tumblr and
WordPress.

Blog content can appear as posts on one continuous streaming page or posts on individual pages
reachable through one or more pages set up in a list-style format as post title links, excerpts and
related tags. All posts or links to posts are typically displayed to readers in reverse chronological
order with the most recent content appearing first.

Bloggers make a considerable amount of money via executing the following strategies at their
blogging platforms:
1- They use affiliate marketing on their respective blogs (they receive commission).
2- They add banners and/or advertisements to their respective blogs ($/per individual click).
3- They write advertorials and sponsored contents (in exchange for money).
4- They charge for sponsored social media posts.
5- They write guest blog posts for media outlets.
6- They work with an agency to build their and/or your blog.
7- They sell digital products on their blogs.
8- They sell their respective blog’s newsletter space.
9- They sometimes get their employers attention for their respective blogs and charge them
for any service.
Once blogging was just considered and known as a hobby to write something on public platforms
and served only as personal digital diaries but nowadays it serves as a huge money making
industry.
Essentially, a freelance job is one where a person works for themselves, rather than for a
company. While freelancers do take on contract work for companies and organizations, they are
ultimately self-employed. Freelancers are responsible for all sorts of things that traditional
employees are not, such as setting their work hours, keeping track of time spent on different
projects, billing clients, and paying their own employment and business taxes. Freelancers are
not considered “employees” by the companies they work for, but rather “contractors.”

a variety of companies, organizations, and government agencies hire freelancers. You’ll find work
in almost every career imaginable, and the freelance jobs vary from small, temporary projects to
long-term, full-time projects. In 2018, various websites have determined the career fields that
had the most freelance openings as following:

1. Computer & IT
2. Accounting & Finance
3. HR & Recruiting
