Is Blogging All It's Cooked Up To Be?

If you ask me, blogging is definitely worth a try.

There are thousands of people around the world who can testify to how much fun blogging actually is!

Blogging is not just a bunch of words that you type up on a keyboard and publish it for the world to see.

The Benefits Of Blogging

There is a hidden pleasure to blogging... it is a form of self expression.

That aspect alone makes it such a pleasurable pass time activity in its own right.

I believe everyone should try their hand at blogging, even if it's just to fill out your free time with something productive.

Some of you will go on to realize what an amazing opportunity blogging offers you.

Blogging & Money

I mean if you could get paid to speak your mind, wouldn't that be a great way to make money?

Some people live off blogging entirely.

They use ads, affiliate links, merchandise and even sell sponsorships when they become well known.

All these options and more are available to bloggers to earn a great income from blogging.

There are bloggers who earn tens and even hundreds of thousands every month doing just that!

What Can You Blog About?

What I love most about blogging is that you don't actually have to be subject matter expert to blog about it...

All you have to be able to do is read about something (research) and explain it in your own words and you've got a blog going!

A blog can be about anything, the internet is fantastic because it knows no taboos (as long as it's legal of course).

The most important thing is to find something you are genuinely interested in and speak about it.

The options are limitless, I once read a blog article about the erogenous zones for each zodiac sign.

This goes to show you can literally blog about anything and there will be people who are at the very least curious about the topic.

What Do Bloggers Use For Inspiration?

I was asked a few days ago by a personal friend "I don't know where you find all that inspiration"...

I'd like to share with you my thoughts about the matter, it's not inspiration, it's drive.

What is it the drives me to write articles almost on a daily basis?

Despite being only 36 years old, I think a lot about my legacy, what story will I leave behind when I'm gone from this realm?

I want to have helped as many people as I can before I am gone from this world.

You could say it comes from a sense of moral obligation to society.

Over the years I have accumulated so much knowledge, knowledge that I feel responsible to share!

So for me blogging is not just a profession or a career that I aspire for, it's a calling.

Of course earning money from it is not such a bad thing either, but it certainly is not the main driver.

Most of us stick to a job for the money, money is not an incentive, if it's your only goal in life...

It simply won't keep you motivated long enough to achieve anything in my opinion.

Are Blogs Only Written Words? Are There Other Types Of Blogs Out There?

When we say blogging immediately most people's minds will go to writing articles, like this one.

The reality is blogging in its own right is a wide genre of things.

It includes people who make YouTube, Tiktok, etc. videos (Vloggers).

It also includes social media influencers and people who have their own "radio" podcasts.

In essence you could be a blogger in whatever way you like whether it be sound, written word, photography, videos, etc.

Blogging is a vast sea of opportunity that caters to every taste.

Other Benefits To Blogging Than Money, Self Expression, And Being A Fun Pass-time.

With time, and when done right, blogging will turn you into an authority of a subject matter.

Eventually as you earn the trust of your audience they begin to consider you an expert.

Once you reach that status, as your audience grows, so does your fame.

At the certain point, you begin to reach celebrity status and depending on the topic you blog about, you can even get invited to talk shows and the like.

Reading this you might think that is such wishful thinking.

I understand it sound so far fetched.

In 2016 I had a chat with a friend of mine who was trying to make it into the world of instagram influencing.

I gave her a few suggestions on how and what she could do to tip the scales in her favor.

She was in the beauty and fashion industry, skip forward 4 years...

Today she owns her own successful luxury beauty spa brand and preparing to open a second branch...

Has appeared on multiple talk shows as a natural beauty and fashion expert...

And this year signed her first online drama series contract airing online as I write this.

So it is definitely not impossible, and won't take forever if you do it right.

So Is Blogging All It's Cooked Up To Be?

I think, by now, you know the answer is a loud, resounding YES!

The only thing left for you to do right now is to make a simple series of decisions...

Is blogging for you?

If yes then you need to ask which form(s) of blogging will you use as your tool of choice?

And then waste no time, start a blog, channel, profile, etc. and begin working on your first post, starting today.

Remember yesterday is already gone, you only live today once, and tomorrow is time you don't own yet...

So there is no better time than today to start doing something you love and share it with the world!

Good Luck!
