If you have a question, should I start a blog or not?
Then you are at the right place.
Did you know, according to a report, that the content marketing industry is expected to grow to an estimated $2 trillion by 2032.
It’s common to ask such questions because It’s the era of AI and video content is also booming. But starting a new blog can still be a good decision as 77% of internet users still like to read blogs.
There’s no doubt that blogging is a good way to generate sales for businesses, build credibility, and earn money.
Even though I made so much money from blogging, I’ve been into blogging since 2018.
If you are still not convinced, then here I listed 5 reasons why you should start a blog.
5 Reasons Why You Should Start A Blog
There are many reasons to start blogging, but I’ve listed 7 main reasons to save your time so you can make good decisions without wasting too much time.
1. Grow Your Audience
If you are running a business or want to start one, then you may already know how important it is to have an audience.
Let’s understand this with an example, suppose you run an e-commerce website and get traffic on it through ads, which costs you a lot due to which your profits get reduced.
But if you start a blog and start posting articles like “Top 5 Best Hair dryers Under $100, Hair Dryer for men’s Styling, Hair Dryer for Women with Diffuser, and many more” so that organic free traffic will come to your blog, which will increase the profit and sales of your website.
And do you know what the best part is?
You can collect the data of this audience in the form of emails, names, contact details, addresses, and even show them popups to join your community, and later you can retarget them for free and with ads (if you want).
Email list is one of the most valuable audience data that gives an ROI of about 40% and you have full control of CTA also so you can target as per your choice.
2. Build an Authority
If you want to build authority online, then blogging is the best way to do it.
We all know Brian Dean who is a founder of NeilPatel(dot)com, he builds his personal brand through blogging.
On his blog, he has over 10 million visitors every month and now he owns multimillion-dollar companies like CrazyEgg and Kissmetrics. He also works on his digital marketing agency NP Digital and also recently launched a digital marketing tool Ubersuggest.
If you are an expert in anything and want to build your authority and grow your business, it’s the best time to start a blog
Even Google itself promotes the content written by the authority person.
3. Earn Money (My Favourite)
This is my favorite reason to start a blog because I also started my online income journey from blogging in 2018 and I still do it. Blogging has made me a better writer and person.
Talking about earning, till now I have earned a lot of money from blogging which I probably would not have been able to earn from an ordinary job.
There are many ways to make money from blogging, such as:
- Ads Revenue
- Consulting
- Affiliate marketing
- Selling digital & physical products
- Email marketing
Along with these ways, there are literally more ways to build a sustainable income.
Here is one of my income reports so you can get motivation.
4. Improve Communication & Writing
In today’s time, communication is a very important skill and writing helps you become an expert in it. Communication is an important skill to be successful so that you can talk to people well and impress them.
Blogging is a great way to connect with like-minded people and it leads to improved communication. When you talk with people from different countries and mindsets it will help you to build a new perspective.
The more you write, the better you will become to express your thoughts and ideas.
5. Build an Asset
Yes, you’ve read this right. Blogs are one of the most valuable online assets that will give ROI up to 40X. There are many online marketplaces available like Flippa and Motion Invest to buy and sell blogs.
Usually a blog sell for about 30X – 40X their monthly profits. So if you successfully build a blog that is making you $1000 per month that means you can easily sell it out for $30,000 to $40,000, that’s huge, right?
You can go to these marketplaces to see real-life examples, there is one of my friends Joseph who started his blogging journey in 2018 and worked on his blog for 2 years earning around $2,000 per month and sold his blog for $70,000 which is 35 multiples of his income.
In today’s modern age, blogs is like online real estate.
