5 Reasons To Start A Blog If You Are Passionate About Writing in 2017 by Nobody: 1:43pm On Jan 21, 2017
If you love writing or you want to learn and improve on how to write, starting a blog is one of the best things you can do to help yourself. Outlined below are 5 reasons to start a blog if you are hoping to learn how to write, love writing or you want to improve on your writing.

Avenue to Scribble out Your Thoughts: Blogging sometimes is an avenue to scribble out your thoughts. Some people open a personal blog in their names and start writing about their views on various topics at a particular period of time. You will agree with me, without this only few people would certainly sit down to hear you speak out all the thoughts in your head to them.

Blogging Improves Your writing: I started blogging almost a year ago, the way I write last year or few months ago is not certainly the way I write now. I’ve made a lot improvements, practice makes perfect. Constant practice of anything only makes one better at it. If you a guy and you are the shy type who is too afraid to speak with the opposite sex, looking for ladies to speak with constantly would improve your confidence, same applies with writing and blogging. This is one of the reasons to start a blog.

A Chance to Have Your Own Audience: If you are truly passionate about writing, starting a blog and dropping interesting updates constantly gives you a chance to have your own audience. Audience are a particular set or group of people ready to read or listen to you at any period of time.

Monetary gains: Some people blog full-time these days, they know what they earn from it. There’s no limit to the figures you could earn as a blogger, as long as you keep working hard and passionate about what you are doing you will get there. There are certainly a lot of blogs in Nigeria, most people nowadays open blogs because they see others earning from it, they are not passionate about writing so they eventually fail. There are many ways to earn from blogging – ads, sponsored contents, etc.

You Become an Authority: When you’ve blogged to a certain level you become an authority, people believe what you’ve written even if parts of it are lies. People come to your blog to seek advice or information and they will do whatever you tell them to do. This in itself gives satisfaction.

I hope I’ve been able to convince you with this 5 reasons to start a blog. If you’ve benefited from this, feel free to share with your friends on social media.

Nice, but not as easy as you think. A Blog without the necessary intellectual and financial wherewithal to carry it out will be a mere hallucination.

Many bloggers come here to post, "Reasons why you should start a blog", "reasons why bloggers are failing" etc...Nobody has really come out to identify the real challenges and what it takes to run a blog successfully.

MONEY
Some bloggers say you don't need huge capital to start a blog, my brother don't be deceived. without money, you are going nowhere. For you to grow fast and beat your competitors, you need money for traffic, especially if your blog is monetized. You need massive traffic, cos CPC/CTR is not favourable for new bloggers especially bloggers in 3rd world countries like Naija. You also need money for Data. If you are the type that usually purchase 1 -3GB monthly for browsing, be ready for 5 - 10GB. Another thing is a power supply. If you are living in an area with an irregular supply of electricity, be ready to buy fuel for generator 2 - 4 times a week.

TIME
Time is dependent on a niche. If your blog is one niche like Health, Marriage, Relationship, Travel, posting every day is not compulsary. You can make 1 - 2 post per week. But if you are running a multi-category blog like News, entertainment, sports, my brother be ready to spend 24hrs online.

MULTIMEDIA
You need Multimedia knowledge in Photo, Audio, and Video editing.

CODING
You need basic knowledge in HTML/PHP

SEO
This is key to successful blogging. One thing is to write a content, another is to write an SEO content. SEO refers to search engine optimization, or the process of optimising a website so that people can easily find it through search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo,Yandex etc. An SEO content must have a focus key (Longtail or word) in its META DESCRIPTION, SLUG, POST TITLE, 1ST PARAGRAPH OF YOUR POST. Must contain More than 300 words. Must have a good readability, inbound or outbound link. Another important aspect of SEO is Search engine console or webmaster tool.

Search Engine Console
This an important part of SEO. Apart from submitting your blog/site to search engines, it's also very important to generate your 'siteMap' and submit to search engines webmaster like Google, Bing etc. NOTE: whenever you edit a post after few hours or days of publishing, or you make changes to your site, you need to re-submit your generated sitemap(s) to search Engines webmaster for indexing.

You are very right honestly... but the original post is just stating reasons to start a blog if one is truly passionate about writing. All the things you've posted comes after one has made the decision to start a blog.

I like this your reply to him.

The thing is that people will always be looking for excuse not to get started or do something useful with their time.

I'm sure that when Linda started, she knew little or nothing about stuff like HTML or coding or SEO but yet that didn't deter her.

Nobody knows everything.

Anyone who is serious about blogging can always learn any of those things while on the job.

That said, it is still of very great importance to mention that people should at least blog if they have passion for blogging and not necessarily because they are looking for money.

The enthusiasm is the only thing that can keep the passion for blogging going even when the money is not coming in.
