Reading and writing is a part of every profession.
Whether you are a student, teacher, business owner, doctor, scientist, traveler, homemaker, employee, etc., you tend to have queries for which you turn to Google for answers.
Altogether, Google manages about 3.5 Billion searches every day. And, with so many queries, what Google does is—search out the best content using Google search algorithms from all the websites that are listed on it, and show the most probable answer.
You read them, and resolve your queries. However, the content you read is written by someone, mostly by a blogger or web writer, or an organization or by a team of writers working for a business.
That’s how Google search works—and bloggers or web writers play a significant contribution to this process.
Reading-Writing Bond
Blogging is exactly this; reading and writing about your interests, but in the internet world.
The more people read you, the more you grow; and the more you write, the more people will read you. There is a unique bond between reading and writing.
Blogging can be about anything—about how you took care of your cats to how rocket science works. About how to write a novel to how you reduce your stress!
Just write and talk about ANYTHING—choice is all yours.

Students of every field; science, arts, engineering, law, mass media, commerce, psychology, medical, all can get started with blogging and write about their subject understanding in their blogs.
However, they are free to choose another niche of their choice apart from their academic subject; because several students have different creative sides in which they want to build their future. Blogging makes these students stand apart from the crowd.

A lot of founders and CEOs therefore start their blog to share their thought leadership, ideas, business processes, and motivation for others to read and get inspired. It also helps founders and CEOs to indirectly connect their readers with their brands.
