Event blogging is blogging about a particular event. In an event blog, you target any upcoming event and provide information about that. Unlike normal blogs, its focus will be very specific, less voluminous to drive very targeted traffic from the search engine. There are several festivals we celebrate each year, several events of national or international importance are going on almost every other day. You can target any of these events to write about and provide useful information people look for. The trend is, generally, traffic to such blogs witness rising traffic as the event approaches, at its pick during the event is going on and gradually subsides as the event is over. Some examples of some popular event blogs are like a blog for Diwali wishes, IPL 2019. Keeping in mind the biggest event of sports Olympic going to be held in Tokyo, Japan several event blogs are already drawing huge traffic, one such event blog is to inform people on Japan rail pass.
So, like these blogs, you can also target any upcoming event and write a blog to provide your target audience useful information about the event. If an event blog is created properly, then its earning potential is many times more than normal blogs generating passive income.
