Are you a blogger? Do you like to read articles from bloggers or articles from websites? What are the benefits of blogging? There are numerous benefits. The brain is hungry for information. It is like a sponge ready to absorb knowledge.
Does This Look Familiar?
***Intentional***
1. Win/Win
Did you know that starting a blog is a win/win situation? Blogging not only benefits you as the reader it also benefits the blogger, because writing is therapeutic. It just really helps to get your thoughts out of your head and on to paper.
2. Blogging Stats
Did you know that according to businessgrow.com there are over 600 million blogs, people publish 70 million new posts on WordPress.com every month, people post over 75 million new comments on WordPress.com blogs every month, and 22% of bloggers post every single week. They further added they started blogging in 2009, new nothing about blogging but readers read along the journey, documented the wins, the failures and the trials. I can identify with that oh so well. I started blogging in 2009 and new little to nothing. In fact the blog that I started blogging on would get hacked almost every week. This is sad to say but it is the truth. I have come a long way since that time though.
3. Main Purpose of a Blog
What is the main purpose of a blog? The primary purpose of a blog is to provide a platform for individuals or organizations to share information, thoughts, experiences, or knowledge on various topics. The digitalis.com talks about this. They further add that blogging for individuals can be a form of personal expression or a way to share hobbies and interests.
4. How often Should You Blog?
How often should you blog is a good question? You should start with 1-2 high-quality blog posts per month for a new blog and publish 2-4 blog posts or more per week. This is according to luisazhou.com. I recall when I first started blogging there was great emphasis on creating content. It seemed as though it took forever to create content. I tried blogging several days a week and it felt like just too much. So I started blogging once a week. This was perfect for me. This seemed to work out well for me too. I started concentrating on my interests. I started concentrating on things that were of interest and importance to me. So I started writing about it. I also would do research to show that I was not the only one thinking a certain way, but that there were others as well.
5. Are There Disadvantages to Blogging?
Are there disadvantages to Blogging? There sure is. There is a time commitment, you must be willing to commit, there could be a lack of return on your investment, and you might receive negative comments on your blog. Martinreynolds.co.uk talks about this. Not everyone will agree with you all of the time.
6. The 80/20 Rule
What is the 80/20 rule? The 80/20 rules states that 80% of your results come from just 20% of your efforts and activities according to blog.fiverr.com. They further add that you should start identifying the activities that fall into your top 20% then use them to identify the tasks that are high-value and the ones that are just taking up your time.
7. Education
Does Blogging allow you to educate others? Yes it does. It not only educates others, but educates the blogger as well. So often as I research information for my blog I discover many things that I did not know. So I find myself becoming educated along with my reader. This is another win/win situation.
8. Content
Is content important in building your blog? It most certainly is. When I first started blogging I mentioned earlier that I basically heard content is so important. It seemed as if it took forever for me to build content. It did not just happen overnight. I realize blogging is a way to tell your story or your testimony. Medium.com talks about the importance of content. Content helps us collect ideas, helps communicate your vision of why, how, and what; it connects people, it helps organize collaboration, and it creates opportunities. I can identify with all of this. Sometimes I might write an article on my blog and to my surprise there are those that react positively. Sometimes more people than I imagined. That let’s me know that that must have been a topic that someone needed to hear. Then there are times you may discover and meet new people that also identify with what you are writing about. That is a good feeling to know that.
9. Linky Parties
When linky parties were introduced I thought this was just amazing for introducing and promoting your blog. I discovered besides writing the article on my blog I needed to promote it. As I listened to an artist on the radio, he made a great point that this generation is totally different. He emphasized when he was promoting his music the internet did not exit so he had to go out and hustle, put flyers on doors and stores, and sell tapes from the trunk of his car. He emphasized now with the internet he could reach thousands of people very quickly. This is so true. Blogging on the internet can not only reach people within your state, but people all over the country. This is awesome because people do things differently all over the country and the internet exposes you to many new things. The first linky site I saw was a video linky site. I liked it, but it was not for me. I later discovered there were so many other linky sites that were not video and I loved that. So this was another avenue to share my blog with people. What are some of the benefits that you have discovered with blogging?
