A new section of people have originated who simply earn millions of dollars every year just by creating blogs (NO, they don’t have superpowers!). Blogging has achieved a new dimension in the present millennium and looks like a growing business in the next decade.
Getting back to the beginning, Tumblr basically is a website for creating blogs. But Tumblr became more famous and widely spread that other contemporary blogging websites. Let’s look into the secrets of Tumblr.
Why is Tumblr so Famous?
Tumblr offers a microblogging platform. Apparently, these days everything that is ‘micro’ is gaining a macro platform, for example – in 1900 we had biology, in 2000 the craze was ‘Micro-biology’, back in the day there were films, now we have ‘Microfilms’. From microprocessor to micro-housing, you put a micro before your invention and you may even have a chance at a Nobel prize (being a millionaire is the benefit of the doubt!).
So, with Tumblr we got introduced to small blog posts that can be quickly read and laughed about or be sad for. But then, what about the longer ones? Tumblr is an ideal place for them too. They actually got the strategy correct that ‘Time is of the essence’. So, you share a smaller version of the entire post which takes less time to read and once readers’ interest is piqued, they can read the entire article by simply visiting the website.
