So you want to know why should you start a blog ?
There are many reasons.
Maybe want to learn new things, how online marketing works, want to get better job online so you can make more money or it is your hobby.
Today I am going to tell you why should you start a blog and things to consider when starting a blog so you get a better start.
When I started my first new blog there are so many things I didn't even know about it.
So here I am going to share what I feel about my journey and important things to considered to succeed online.
Why Should I Start A Blog
Here's the deal:
There are many shiny objects to get you motivated starting a blog but when you fail to accomplish them you stop blogging.
That's a common problem for new bloggers. So what to do instead:
1. Want To Learn New Things
Blogging is all about sharing your knowledge with others and learning something new.
When I started out I don't know how to setup a blog or what is SEO ?
But as I learned this is fun to create a blog on wordpress or blogger or any other platform. And I choosed Web Designing as a profession and I am making money from it though it is not so much.
There is always learning curve behind anything and you've to practice it.
2. Want to Improve Writing Skill
Writing is the inner core of blogging.
Want to polish your writing skill, stop reading and go start a blog.
As a native english writer when I started blogging I am so nervous that I send my first article to my english teacher to correct all the mistakes (You think how nervous I was).
A great tool helping me now Grammarly for writing error free content and I suggest you should also use.
A little bit advice: Write everyday but not publish the articles. Some of them sounds terrifing, some of them makes sense.
3. Blogging Makes You more confident
When I started blogging I thought what if I fail ? What happen when I loose some money?
Makes me uncomfortable. I lake of confidents.
After one year of blogging, I'm more confident than when I started out. Blogging gives me more confident, attitude and a nature to help out others.
4. Want to Build my Brand
Brand marketing is not new to online. TV shows, movies using brand to market their episodes, movies.
Do you know what is AMAZON ?
The largest online shoping site all over the world. Right ?
So how do they did it ?
Brand advertising. They built their brand using advertisement to right kind of people.
For example, The Neil Patel who is a content marketing guru grows 4 multimillion company from scratch is a Brand. He amuse people with his content.
When it comes to content marketing I always listen to him and you should too. Because he is kind a big deal.
So by starting a blog online helps you increase your brand value.
5. Want to experience the online marketing world ?
I've read a book about network marketing and I learned that when you read something and do the same thing there is much more than read on the book.
So starting a blog helps you to know more about the topic.
These are the reasons why you should start a blog. Now we are going to learn things to consider when starting a new blog.
1. Blogging is Not so EASY
When I started my blog I read some blogs says blogging is so easy that you can do it without working so much.
THAT IS TOTALY LIE.
Blogging is totaly oppostie. You've treat it like a business, like your job. The more focused you are the better your results.
I've a to-do list for organize my work more efficiently.
2. Not Making Instantly Money
Money is the no. 1 reason why you want to starting a blog. Right ?
Unfortunately this is also number 1 reason you're going to fail.
Atleast you don't make money at the beginning for 6 months or so. Then you can see a steady income source coming towards you.
So if you want to make money then try some freelancing site. Here is a list of freelancing sites to get started. But don't forget to starting a blog because you can make more money with your skills.
3. Blogging Need Focus
There are two types of bloggers. One, professional blogger who are more serious about blogging and another part time blogger. Now many of us part time blogger because we are doing jobs, student.
Thus we don't focus on blogging however we also want to blog for fulfill our needs.
On the other hand, full time bloggers has time to focus more on blogging so they get more result.
So better for part timers make sedhule of your works and the things need more attention.
4. Not Every One Going to support You
I am a student. When I started my journey my mom only know it and she always supports me.
But my father, I didn't tell him. When I get my first cheque from upwork then I told him I was doing these things.
Parent always want better future of their childrens but we children do many that were wrong so this is their duty to return us in right path.
5. Lack of Inspiration
When starting a blog there maybe some encouragement to you but after starting you may lose inspiration.
Wait? Why this happen ?
Because you maybe not seeing the result you want to achieve but you're doing all the things Right.
Thats why before you start a blog know that it takes time to see the result you expected.
