After reading this post you will understand why blogging is important. So let us face it. Many people work tirelessly in hopes of saving enough to be able to fund their dream lifestyle.

As good as it sounds, it is so unfortunate that not so many people ever live to achieve that goal. Reason being as humans we tend to be comfortable with what pays the bills. That makes us reluctant to seek more, educate ourselves, learn new things.

But guess what, with a blog you can supplement your full time job. There are many ways of monetizing your blog and making more from it. However, a blog unlike your day job does not have a fixed stable salary.

On the other side, it has potential to make you more money. As long as you do everything right to grow it.

What makes a successful blog?

If you are wise to do proper research on what you really are good at and how you can provide value to other people using your knowledge, you are set for success already.

Do not take all advice from everyone telling you to just go for what you are passionate about.

Yes! You need to have a passion for what you blog about. But the most important thing is how will people benefit from reading your blog? What problems are you helping them solve? Are you answering their questions in any way?

This is because a blogs financial success depends on the readers. If you have no readers then your blog has no financial value to you at all. Not unless it is just another hobby for you.

The more readers you have the more money you make it’s that simple. Take for example this post, you are here because you want to learn how to blog and make money.

I am providing you with knowledge on how to blog and make money at the same time doing what I’m passionate about which is publishing content.

So when you start a blog with a blend of what you love and providing value to your readers, your content will do good as people will love it since they are getting value from it.

And from that, you are guaranteed they will most likely check in again for more content. Here is a list of blog post types to write about as a beginner.

Why Blogging is Important and Why You Need to Start Yours

1. Learning and organizing your thoughts

Blogging will help you to pin point your weak areas in your blog topic. When writing your blog posts, you are able to spot what you didn’t cover which forces you to teach yourself about what you don’t know in order to complete your blog posts.

You also get to organize your thoughts in the process since the blog post ought to flow as well. Here is a guide on how to write a blog post example format.

2. Be heard

Starting a blog enables you to express yourself as you wish. Owning your blog gives you the privilege of telling your story as you wish especially if you decide to write about personal interests.

You get to decide what goes and what doesn’t without being controlled or constrained within regulations since you own it.

3. Create opportunities

Blogging leads to other opportunities for business like speaking engagements or press. People who discover you through your blog may be interested in hosting you to share your knowledge to a particular audience which means more business for you.

4. Meet new people

The people who land on your blog and love your content can reach out to you directly. They can end up being not just your blog audience but also your friends and even business contacts.

5. Expertise validation

Blogging can act as your resume. Especially in this competitive economy, starting a blog about something you love can illustrate that you are skilled and knowledgeable in that area.

If you do it good enough you are likely to be considered an expert too. How cool is that!

6. Be your own boss

Owning a blog is no different from owning your own business. You can sell products on your blog the same way you can sell them in your physical business as well as offer services too to make money.

All you will need for your blog is your laptop and internet and some few bucks for startup costs like purchasing web hosting and your blog domain name. And the monetization methods are many so you get to choose.

7. Live an intentional life

Being able to make money from your blog and not depend on your full time job is so great. You won’t need to answer to anyone or be grounded to a specific city just because that’s where you work.

With a blog you get to enjoy your freedom to the fullest as you are able to decide what to do, when to do it and where. Unlike with a day job which will need you to abide by the rules of showing up 6 days a week and some people even work all 7 days of the week.

Imagine having to dedicate your whole life to working for someone 7 days of the week while they enjoy their precious time with their family and nurturing better relationships. Guess what you are doing to your own!

That’s a life I never imagined and it’s what pushed me to teach myself everything I could about how to make money online from affiliate marketing, Forex trading and starting a YouTube channel. Learn how YouTube channels work.

So if you really want to enjoy your life doing what you love,  you need to start a personal blog to get your feet wet. It does not necessarily mean quitting your day job, you could start it while working your full time job.

Just dedicate an hour daily to educate yourself on blogging and when you feel you have enough knowledge, you can then start it and work to grow it as you continue to work your day job.
