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!
