A blog is the best way to start working online, and it doesn’t matter if your purpose it to make money, or if it is something completely different. Everything should start with a blog. And the reason for this is:
- A blog is the best way to start learning, period
- A blog is the best way to start and the easiest way to take action, baby steps towards your freedom
- A blog is the best way to start because you are not depending on anyone else but yourself
- A blog is the best way to start because it is forever growing and will get better and better with time. Both in search engines and in quality since you get better with practice.
- A blog is the best way to start because it is rewarding. You feel noticed and important when you see that someone sees your blog and comment on your posts.
The best way to learn? Yes, because you have to write and work on your communication skills. You have to start thinking and researching, in order to find subjects to write about. This process makes you curious and eager to learn new things. You learn the best by trying to teach others what you already know.
Easiest way to take action? Yes, because you can start now without a penny and without any knowledge. Just start a free WordPress blog and you are up in no time. Just to click on ad post, write and publish. Anyone can do this and everyone gets better with every post that are written. See here: https://learn.wordpress.com/get-started/
Not depending on anyone else? Yes, extremely important when you start without any experience. It is so easy to fall for any marketing tricks before you know the ropes. As an inexperienced online seeker you are the main target for most marketers who wants to grab your money promising fortunes and a glorious lifestyles. You are then better off on your own trying to develop your own skills and starting your journey to personal development.
Forever growing? Yes, a blog is growing all the time you add something and all the time someone sees it or comment on it. And you will get amazed how easy it becomes to write after a while. Furthermore, you will start to love It as it almost feels like a need to express yourself and get your thoughts out there into the online world. The search engines will love it more when it gets regularly updated and as with women and wine, it only gets better as the years pass by.
Last but not least, it is rewarding. The feeling of your first visitors actually finding the things you write. And when the comments and questions start pouring in. You immediately start to feel important and part of something greater. The successes are easy to celebrate and gives you energy to continue. Most things online requires a lot of work before you see any results at all, and it is so easy to give up. But a blog keeps getting you the feedback and inspiration you need.
Last week I wrote a post about “The best ways to make money online“. In that post I mention a blog as one of the best ways to make money online. The reason for it is that if you are consistent with your updates, and develop some skills your blog will grow. And in time you will have a lot of visitors coming to your site. These visitors are worth money. You can either get income from ads like Google AdSense, or you can promote your own affiliate offers. Another popular way to use your blog to earn money is to offer consulting in your expertise area.
Good luck
