You may have been asking yourself if you should start a blog. I was in that boat too, but here we are. You’re reading my blog. What made me decide to make the jump, and should you make it too? Keep reading to find the answer to the question you’ve been asking yourself: Should you start a blog?
Blogging is Hard
About 4 years ago, I started a blog on Blogger. I had always considered it, but I finally decided to go through with it. I really liked writing, and I thought this was a good way for me to write about things that interest me.
It was a lot more work than I thought it would be. I was juggling school at the time and just slowly started writing less and less. I enjoyed it, but I just couldn’t keep up with consistently writing. I ended up completely quitting that blog, although it’s still up. That blog is still getting views, much to my surprise. I started that blog on a whim for fun, and I didn’t take it seriously. I never tried to promote it. I just wanted to write as a hobby.
A lot more work goes into it when you are actually blogging as a business and not just for a hobby.
What it Takes to Start a Blog
Here we are, on my new blog. How did I get here? A few months ago, I suddenly got the urge to write again. I’m still in college, so I was wary about trying to start a new blog and whether I could put the time that I wanted into it. I did a lot of research over the last few months.
This time, I wanted to take the blog seriously, and I wanted more out of it. I loved the whole process. Designing my website, creating content, and designing images for that content is fun for me. Although I’m still in college, I’m in a much better place where I can really put the effort into making quality content.
Should you Start a Blog?
When asking the question, “Should you start a blog?,” these are all important factors to consider. Think about the amount of time and energy you have, whether you want to put in work, and whether you’re genuinely interested in it and just looking for money.
I’m telling you, starting a blog can be harder than it seems, so do some research before you make the jump if it makes you feel better. If it’s something you’re passionate about, it’s definitely worth it.
