Consider it as a boon or bane, that a blogger has to directly/indirectly share almost everything about his/her life in a social media. And hundreds of people out there to give their opinions and judgments which are at times dark. But like everything, this too is a negative part along with the positive part.
It requires a lot of creativity which can be executed and every next project needs to be different and out of the box. If a person is enthusiastic, talented and devoted, one can make the most of it and also experience new things.
With all these factors, blogging will soon enter in the list of the commonly heard professions.
