A personal blog will tend to be wide ranging and, well, very personal.

The more recognized term for business blogging is 'corporate blogging.

 

The difference is quite simple.

 

Corporate blogging is used for one of the following reasons:

1) Lead generation

2) Company updates and improvements

3) Damage control and rand awareness

4) Give the business some emotional intelligence although many businesses feel that community management can do is better.

 

Blogging in general may or may not be done for monetary gain. It is that arm of online media that allows people to expression. While professionals use it as a tool for thought leadership others use it share their talent and voice.

Personal  blogging

We stake out our individual territories in the blogosphere, express our innermost selves through words, photos and videos, and invite others to visit. Along the way, we become richer in knowledge and life experience.

 Business blogging

Business blogging is the same and yet different. Business blogging, when done properly, is equally about attracting attention and building community but with the ultimate goal of converting readers into active customers and advocates. Topics are carefully chosen to demonstrate the expertise and experience of that business and how, by using that company’s products or services, one’s own business or life undergoes improvement. Business bloggers often use current events as inspiration for blog posts, adding their own view of a situation and describing how a newsworthy event affects their industry.

The writing for business blogs is much more formal and must include search engine optimization so that readers find the business blog with search engines. (It’s not a bad idea to know SEO for your personal blogging, too.) Business blogs also have strong visual content — infographics, pictures and videos — to help reinforce the story they’re telling.

Well simple blogging is all about sharing your thoughts to others on anything or what you like to express through your articles. Whereas business blogging is a specific blogging in which you are sharing the updates as well as the information that helps in engaging the audience that are searching for a thing that you are offering.
