One time a friend of mine asked me, Are you a blogger? Is it different from a web master? Or an internet entrepreneur?
Actually, at first I get a little bit shocked. Why? Simply because I don’t know how to answer the question so I searched the answers in Google first.
But before sharing the answers that I have found let me give some introduction.
*******************************************************************************
Many people nowadays feel comfortable in seeking their fortune online. They want to earn passive income out of the Internet. More often than not, they tend to say, “I’ll start a blog to start earning online”. Consequently, they try to visit very successful bloggers who make big impact in the Internet.
*******************************************************************************
However, the big question is, “Is the term blogger perfectly describes their success online?”. May be not, may be yes. In fact, as I’ve said on my recent post, “Information nowadays is changing like a speeding bullet. What is true today might be false tomorrow or may be a minute later”
Maybe today, we can interchange the word “blogger” to internet entrepreneur or to the term web master. Am I right? Again, may be yes, may be not.
Ooops, I know, I’m not an authority to irresponsibly clamor the perfect differences or similarities of these terms for that matter. And so, to answer my friend and all other researchers out there, I’ll share with you the web definitions of the following terms (then tell me your perspective on the comments box as to how should we call each other, you, me or other so called bloggers out there):
