No, we aren't going to talk about doomsday predictions here, nothing of the sort. But we are gonna talk about how you can start a new life in the world of blogging (ironic huh?). Blogging is becoming more and more common these days. There's a blog about virtually everything. And not without reason. Blogging is a great way to express and share your thoughts with the world. Most use a blog to earn money. In fact, a blog is one of the best ways you can earn money online.
And businesses use blogs to promote their products and services, and
grow a customer/audience base. A blog is a major tool for promoting a
brand. Hence, there are lots of benefits of blogging, especially in this
era. If you don't already have a blog, now would be the best time to
start!
There are so many blogs out there that some people think they are just
adding to the noise. And we totally agree. There are literally tonnes of
blogs that are low quality, poorly written, not very actively
maintained, or worst of all, are spammy. But just because there are
cheap blogs out there doesn't mean it is a reason not to start blogging.
Which brings us to the question of the day; Why should you start
blogging? Why now, and not later?
The competition is growing!
Don't let that hinder you! Blogging is on the rise! If you don't go
along with the wave, you will get left behind! It is estimated that
hundreds of blogs are published every minute! You should create one too
before it is so late that you are unable to surface. Also, domains are
being scooped up really fast. Who knows, the domain you want to register
today might be gone tomorrow? Start blogging now!
Internet services have increased
There are tonnes of services out there that will help you instantly create a website or blog. Free publishing platforms such as Blogger, WordPress etc are the most widely used. Other than that, you can easily buy hosting and domain from services such as HostGator,
which also provide free site builder tools for you to get your site up
and running. There are other such internet services which makes life
easier for bloggers. So why hesitate when you can get job done as easily
as ever?
Google policy changes, now means business
This is the most important point I want to discuss about. Google changes its algorithm almost each year. This year, it was the Penguin while last year, it was the Panda. Both these updates
wrecked havoc among many websites and blogs. Before Penguin, people
didn't know what to do, and how to recover. But now, after Penguin,
Google has made it pretty clear that low quality websites or sites with
cheap or fake backlinks are going to be punished. This impacted a lot of
bloggers, who now have to work very hard to increase quality throughout
their sites.
But for those wanting to start now, this could prove to be beneficial. They now know what Google wants. They won't be penalized. And so, they can start with a fresh, clean record. Old bloggers will need to fish out their old, low quality posts while new bloggers will have no such problem! :)
Start today, earn tomorrow!
If you're into this stuff, then there's really no reason to hold back. If you start today, you will start earning tomorrow.
Little by little, you can build your blog into a brand and start making
money. Don't hesitate about the time it'll take, because it will always
take a lot of time, and effort. That's the secret to blogging actually.
Time, and effort. Put in both, and over time, you'll see vivid results.
Always remember that everyone has to start from zero. Even pro-bloggers started from zero, years and years ago. Some blogs are as old as 6 years old. And their efforts have finally paid off. Now, they are earning thousands of dollars monthly! Who knows, you could be the pro-blogger everyone looks up to in four year's time? :)
