If you’re a newbie and are eager to make a positive knowledge contribution, we are delighted to have you.
If you missed out on participating in the previous Blogathon editions, here’s your chance to redeem yourself. Put on your wisdom cap and start this satiating and rewarding journey of sharing your data science knowledge with others.
Analytics Vidhya – Mission & Story Behind It
While you’ve heard Blogathon and its reviews from fellow community people, let’s take you to the story behind it. The founders of Analytics Vidhya are data science mavericks, and their mission and goal are to make this abundance of knowledge available to the rest of the community.
Blogathon was conceived and spearheaded by Analytics Vidhya with a single focal mission – to bring all data science nerds across the globe under one shared community and to actuate the process of knowledge sharing with everyone aspiring to get into data science.
What initiated a humble effort to start sharing data science knowledge with people has now transpired into a massive community of over 700 authors and a valuable data bank of 4000+ articles. The numbers are growing by the day, and the community is only getting thicker and more credible with each waking moment.
The world of data science and machine learning can get complex and daunting for anyone without adequate guidance and knowledge material. This keeps the fire in us alive to make Blogathon the biggest and most trusted data science professionals’ community that reckons across the globe.
Benefits for Authors
If diluting your knowledge to benefit others is what kicks you, Blogathon is your place to be. You might wonder what’s in store if you contribute to the community. Well, apart from the massive pacification, there are some amazing benefits that we have reiterated here for your understanding:
- Strengthen Your Data Science Knowledge
Knowledge acquired and not shared with the world is what seems a shallow approach. What you’ve learned and understood over the years, slogging into the data science field, should be shared with the community to get benefitted from. Not just it makes you a better professional, but it also strengthens what you’ve learned. Writing about the principles, formulas, and other stuff will only make you the “Subject Matter Expert” in your branch.
- Solve Your Problem Statements in a Newer Way
The power of storytelling can help you resolve your problem statements in a structured manner. Getting problem statements is one of the most common issues in data science, and Blogathon resolves it beautifully.
- Level Up Your Professional Portfolio
Recruiters are always on the lookout for conscious professionals who, after acquiring learning, are inclined towards giving it back to society. What better way to do it than Blogathon? Share your knowledge with the world and demonstrate the same on your resume, professional profiles, portfolio, and LinkedIn to get picked up by prolific recruiters.
- Engage With & Solidify Analytics Vidhya Community
Analytics Vidhya’s Data Science community is all about professionals and authors waiting to do their bit in educating the world. Blogathon gives you a niche platform to participate and engage with the community. You can expect some great conversations with a monthly user base of 2500+.
