At one point or the other, we’ve all had blogs. They had stories of our travel escapades, our experiments with food, random musings and observations about life and sometimes, even rants. We loved showing it off to our friends. We carefully kept track of our follower count and the comments we got. However that was it. Never had we thought of our blog as something more than a pastime.
Things have however changed now. The humble blog, which was nothing more than a means to keep us occupied, has come a long, long way. Done the right way, your blog can become your business. Give the social media-dominated world we live in, blogging can be converted into a lucrative career. All you need is the right platform and strategy. That’s where UCWeb’s WeMedia comes into the picture.
Earn while you write
Under WeMedia, bloggers and writers who meet the desired requirements will be suitably compensated. This way you can pursue your passion of writing while also make money out of it.
It is rightly described as a “common platform for self-publishers and key opinion makers, aims to provide the users with a mix of both regular and niche content.” The best part about this program is that brings celebrities, bloggers and influencers on a level-playing field. Your blog will no longer be just another blog on the internet, but something that will pay you handsomely as well.
WeMedia has received endorsement from none other than author Chetan Bhagat who also happens to be a part of it. He was quoted as saying, “I am delighted to be part of UCWeb's WeMedia Program. It's a unique initiative for anyone who wants to publish on the web. Anyone can create an account, write, share, gain traffic, add to their followers and make money at the same time now.”
Leading by example
Take the case of Delhi-based blogger Jyoti Chahar. Her story is nothing short of incredible. As a young girl, she shifted to Delhi with her parents. She being the eldest of four children had the responsibility of supporting her family in every which way. Had her relatives had their way, she would’ve been married off early. However, despite adversities her parents supported her dreams.
Life was never easy for her. But she continued her day job and pursued her passion for blogging by night and it paid off. A successful blogger herself, Chahar was supported by UCWeb who gave her work an enhanced platform. This exposed her content to a larger audience and took it to another level altogether.
In many ways, blogging charted the course of her future. So powerful is her story, that it was shared on social media by a number of celebrities including Yuvraj Singh.
Chahar’s story is just one of the many success stories to have come out of UCWeb’s initiatives.
So if you’ve been all the while thinking that blogging is merely a pastime, it’s time to change that mindset. UCWeb’s WeMedia takes your blog and exposes it to a larger audience. You end up getting more traffic, more readers and the best part is you get paid too.
Who would have thought that your simple blog would one day become your revenue stream. But thanks to WeMedia, it is now a reality. It wouldn’t be wrong to say then that UCWeb has brought blogging back and how.
