We started blogging in early 2013. Since blogging has been around for decades, this can be considered as a late start! So, why should you start blogging now? Well, there are very many reasons and it is never too late to get started.
We have come up with a list of 10 reasons why you should get
started as early as now.
- It
is fun
When blogging, you are free to write about the topics you
love. You will spend most of your career just typing and sitting behind a
laptop or a desktop. Honestly, who doesn’t love to be behind a laptop or a
desktop?
- Learning
new things
I like learning new things, so do you? As a versatile
writer, I have written so many articles for the past 1 year or so which I
hardly had an idea about. I learned so many things, from SOPs, and lives of
various celebrities in the world to Scientific Management Theory (I bet you
have come across this).
I love blogging because there is so much to learn. Even if
you are writing a familiar topic, you will always discover new leads. Whether
it is an opinion, observation or just a news write-up, you will come across a
new thing you didn’t know.
- It
is like businesses
No one will tell you this- a blog is a business.
You can make passive income from the comfort of your seat
through affiliate marketing, native ads, selling advertisement space, accepting
sponsored posts, and so on.
- Gain
influence
To gain popularity nowadays, you must either be a
politician, a volunteer, media personality, singer or simply a blogger. If you
are successful enough, you will gain trust and respect from everyone who reads
your content.
- Express
yourself
A blog is an example of an expressive medium which uses
photos, words, sound and so on to pass certain information. Like for example,
you can blog about what you hate and what you love. Through this way, you will
be expressing yourself.
- Help
others
Love helping others to do something like losing weight,
making money online or advancing their freelancing skills? A blog is an
essential medium when it comes to reaching out to your target readers.
- Building
a loyal network
There is an old adage that goes, “The richest people in the
world build networks.” This is 100% true. When you have a blog, valuable posts
will attract a lot of readers who will then leave comments or contact you
through the links in your contact page. Some will grab your RSS feed and become
your loyal readers. With this kind of a network, you can easily sell your
products.
- Improving
your writing skills
No one is perfect, right? However, through frequent posting,
you can be perfect. The more you post, the more you write and the more your
writing skills improve.
- Get
more clients
If you own a business, start blogging and stand a chance to
attract new potential buyers. Regularly write about the products you offer,
their benefits, and so on. If you blog about technical things, some of your
readers are likely to be interested in hiring you to help solve their
mysteries.
- Boosts
your creativity
Many are the times you will have to think beyond the box
when drafting an article. This will over the time free your thinking.
To sum up, if you write something on any social media
platform in order to receive comments, then you are a blogger. If you upload a
video on YouTube to get subscribers and comments, you are a video blogger.
