While starting a blog has been an amazing experience for me, these are the four most relatable reasons other people start blogs:
1. You can make money while working from anywhere.
Blogging allows you to have the flexibility to work wherever you want. As a college student, it was extremely hard to find a job since your schedule is constantly changing. A blog allows you to make money wherever you are and even earns you money while you aren’t working on it.
2. It is great for your resume.
Having a strong resume out of college (and at any point in life!) is essential to securing a great job. To show a company that you were able to start a business — yes, your blog IS your business! — shows future employers what you are capable of accomplishing and your drive for success.
3. It’s fun!
You get to write about things you love and get paid for it. It really doesn’t get much better!
4. You can make money around the schedule you want.
Change is inevitable and it can be SO hard to find a job that is can fit with life’s demands. A blog allows you to make money around times YOU are available.
Can you see yourself starting a blog? These next steps are laid out to make it as easy as possible for you starting a successful blog in just 30 minutes.
When I was heavily researching (or stalking 😉) the big blogs making thousands a month blogging, they all said the most important part of blogging was making sure you are on a self-hosted WordPress website. I had no idea what this meant but if ALL the successful bloggers were saying that was so important, I was going to do it.
