Training/ Educational Requirements

As professional writers, bloggers must be excellent communicators and need to understand what content most appeals to their audiences. Bloggers also have to be disciplined to produce high-quality research and writing, while trying to meet deadlines.

There are no specific educational or training requirements. However, self-employed bloggers are usually experts in the fields they blog about. They previously may have worked in a job related to their blog's topic. The only requirements are is to choose topics wisely and write about what you're knowledgeable about. Keep it unique so you can keep your viewers coming back for more!

Advantages:

The job market for bloggers is huge growing and finding employment or employing yourself is relatively easy.

They have complete creative control over their own content and set their  own schedules. Most self-employed bloggers make money through advertising on their websites.

Disadvantages:

Bloggers who are self-employed or who work with a small staff usually need experience with multimedia tools. Newspapers may have photographers and video editors on staff, but many bloggers lack these resources and produce the photos and videos themselves.

Earning a steady income from blogging may take some time due to having to build a large following and frequently put out interesting content in order to gain income. Bloggers are constantly searching for ways to monetize the work they put online. Even online advertising, the most common way to make money isn't a guaranteed source of revenue anymore. To view blogs, many people now use Rich Site Summary (RSS) feeds to see updates from their favorite websites all in one place. RSS feeds frequently remove advertisements from posts and don't count towards a web-page's traffic totals. This decreased traffic reduces the amount of money bloggers and web-comic artists make from advertisers. In response to the increasing use of RSS feeds, bloggers are searching for new ways to make money while continuing to put their content online for free.
