Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Start Blogging V2.0

Today, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking of what to write for the next few weeks – then I came across this article I wrote ages ago, but it’s so good that it’s worth mentioning again! Yes, I’m blogging even on Christmas day, and it’s 3am here. Oh well, here’s the “Top 10 Reasons Why YOU Should Start Blogging, Today!” I’ve titled it “V2.0″ because there are few edits and improvisations;

Blogging – it’s been one of the most steadily growing aspects of the Internet and today we have millions of bloggers writing everyday! As many of you are probably blogging yourself here’s on little fact you might have not heard before – there are almost 20,000 blogs created everyday! If you are one of the very few that are sitting out – you should be asking yourself one simple question… WHY?

Blogging can be about absolutely anything, from a personal diary dedicated to your pet mouse to teaching folks how to make a reasonable income online. There is nothing you can’t blog about – if it’s a topic discussable in society you bet there’s a blog about it somewhere on the web! Heck, there’s even blogs out there that cannot be discussed in public…

Thinking about what to write, I came up with a “Top Ten List” on why I think you should start blogging before experimenting with other means of website development.

Countdown from 10…

10) Speak your mind & be who you want to be – Blogging allows users to speak their mind freely – because if someone else doesn’t like or agree with their comments, they’ll just have to bear with it. Bloggers can talk about almost anything and with given time – they will find a group of unique visitors who are interested in the topic. Just for the record – I’ve seen a blog about “How I built my swimming pool” that is considered very successful for anything blog on any niche!

9) Easy to set up – Blogs are extremely easy to set up and it is recommended that when you first enter the world of web-publishing – you start off with a blog, simply due to the simplicity of getting one online as soon as possible.

Organization hasn’t been simpler – Many website owners struggle to organize and updated their content regularly but with blogging that wont’ be a problem, guaranteed. Blogging allows users to sort their content with tags and categories for future reference or search engine optimization.

7) It’s FREE! – I was deciding on whether or not if I should post this as the “number one reason” because you simply have nothing to lose! Most blogs such as Blogger, WordPress and LiveJournal are all free to use – so you can up and running with no costs involved.

6) It’s simple & It’s CMS – CMS stands for Content Management Systems and it is exactly what it’s name suggests – Helps you manage your content! Blogging makes it very easy for webmasters to write up their content and publish it on the internet without worry too much about HTML, JavaScript and other computer languages!

5) RSS Feeds made simple - If it’s anything that I love about blogging – it would simply be the ‘ease’ of implementing a RSS feed for your content. Many blog hosts come with pre-installed RSS Feed Systems and it can greatly help your readers keep track of the latest articles.

4) Helps SEO & SERP – Their are millions of malicious claims on the internet, but here’s one that might not have proof – but I strongly believe in. Blogs have a slightly better liking from search engines especially Google over normal websites. Why I believe that? Google loves fresh content, and what better way to attain that with bloggers writing 4-5 times a day!

3) Uniqueness comes standard - The title is quite an oxymoron (Two concepts that do not go together). Using blogs you can really customize it according to your needs and skill level. Many free and premade themes allow you to bring a sense of uniqueness without knowing too much about coding – but with a little bit of background info you can personalize it to a great new level!

2) Unlimited Features – Plug-ins and Widgets are created almost every day by users like you and me all around the world! Widgets can expand many parts of your weblog and make the reader’s experience quite a remarkable one! Also you can optimize it for performance by incorporating plug-ins that help fine tune your weblog.

1) Make Money while Blogging – No matter what bloggers say, MOST (not all) started blogging with either this in the back of their head or as their complete and ultimate achievement – Earn Money Online. I mean, who can blame them? If you were paid to do something you love – the heck I’d do it and may of us – including me – are.

That pretty much summarizes why I believe blogging is the way to go – regardless of your skill and experience level. Hopefully it has given you an insight on blogging and will help you get started or simply keep you motivated with your blogging career!
