4. Spreading The Important Stuff:Celebrity Gossip “It is remarkable what a smart individual with passion can do with a blog. People have blogged their way to dream jobs (and book deals) through the ideas they express.” – Derek Meerman Scott

6. Fashion Journalist“It used to be that only a handful of elites were deemedworthy of relaying our most important stories. Now anyone with a passion, interest, and computer, can purvey their thoughts to a concentrated readership.” “Blogging allows people who have opinions, work hard, and have a voice to be read by thousands if not millions of people. It's important to have several different voices in the mix so that there's something out there for everyone.”

7. Self-Expression: Cliff Notes “I started my blog because two of my friends suggested that I create a blog and entitle it ‘Cliff Notes’ so I did. My blog doesn’t have a specific genre or topic. I write about whatever i feel is relevant to me as well as people that are open minded and have an eye to see what is "dope". – Cliff Skighwalker
