Blogging means giving information about any topic through Articles, Videos, or Images.

The website where all information is maintained, saved, and accessed is known as BLOG.

It can be done with any device which has an internet connection and a screen.

Blogs were first begun in 1994, in which people shared their daily life tasks.

Later people saw an opportunity to reach a huge audience, and here the world of blogging started.

The pure definition of a blog is:

"A discussion or informational website published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries. Posts are typically displayed in reverse chronological order, so that the most recent post appears first, at the top of the web page"

In India, a blogger earns anywhere between $100 to $10,000 per month. 

On average, a standard blogger earns around $300 – $400 a month.

Though, if the blogger is more experienced, then he or she can easily make up to $3000+ also. 

Celebrity bloggers in India earn between $20,000 and $30,000 a month.
