For instance, here is a quote I came across that made me realize how blogging has made it possible for a person to get support from people, “I was having problems with depression and anxiety disorder, and it felt like not blogging about it was creating a false history. When I did finally share the problems I was having, I was shocked -not only by the support that was given to me, but also by the incredible amount of people who admitted they struggled with the same thing.”- Jenny Lawson

In fact, I encourage more youths to start blogging in order to inspire other youths who are facing various challenges such as starting a business, running a business, advancing career, unemployment, how to overcome substance abuse etc.

4.) Making Money Online: Start blogging to earn some money online if you haven’t found your dream job. There are many opportunities online that you can use your blog to make money.

You’ll be recognized as an expert when you share informative information on your blog and also on other blogs that allow guest blogging.
