Some people will use BLOG as commercial purpose such as selling clothes, food, home-made stuff and services, so that’s why the new idea Blog Shopping is coming out. Traditionally, a BLOG is a type of website maintained by an individual to write online dairies, information sharing, etc. Another advantage of BLOG is to help non-technical people to start the website easily with little bit word processing knowledge. If now we link BLOG with SHOP together, then it will become Blogshop. It means that we can use Blog to sell something online.
At the same time, I have done a quick research for the current trend of Blog Shop. Let’s have a look for Google Trend for Blogshop and Blog shop. It shows the report below:
Base on the analysis of Google Trend, Google began to detect the blog shop in later part of 2005. and Blog Shop trend is increasing yearly. Therefore, Blog Shopping will be another trend for online shopping.
The Reasons why Blog Shopping is becoming so popular today

In Malaysia, we have found that there is only small group of people is paying credit card and purchase online. These groups of online shoppers are most familiar with online shopping cart operation. How about for the non-online shoppers? So Blog Shopping can be another option for non-online shoppers. For example, blogshop owner just need to write a blog post with the product’s images, description, price, payment method, delivery terms etc. If a non-online shopper would like to purchase products from you. he/she will follow the contact information to email you or call you for any enquiry of delivery, pricing, product detail information.
