MY BLOG INTRODUCTION: WHY BLOG?
Welcome to my website, you’re probably wondering why are you reading this? I mean it’s only an introduction blog or maybe your trying to get started on blogging yourself. Well instead of reading through all those different blogs that tell you it’s only a couple or simple steps to get started, let me tell you the truth. Now, if you’re into setting up a website and think it is easy or already have about 10 to 15 blogs written out and ready to go. Then yes, it is easy but what about the money to get it started, if you are like me your funds a limited; now there are a lot of articles and blogs out there that a free but to set up your domain and on a website like Bluehost it will cost you about a $100 give or take depending on which packet you select. Now if you chose WordPress to start a blog channel then yes that is free to sign up but there are add-ons that can cost a lil of your time to sign up for all those free accounts. Pretty soon you may forget what all you have signed up for and not remember usernames and passwords.
Ok, so you get through signing up and registering your account, now you must design your website…ugh… wait what. Unless you know someone or you yourself are an expert in creating a website it will take you a while to figure out what everything means and how you want it to look.
Alright so now you have your account registered, your website is done, and you even have some blogs posted now who and how are you going to get people to read your blogs. Well my friend if you have a social media account, I would start advertising on those. Such as Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, and even Pinterest; yes, Pinterest you would be surprise how much traffic you can get just from your social media outlets than you realize besides its free advertising. Not to mention that all those social media accounts can be changed into business accounts so that you can potentially earn money and make a living from your advice.
I know it seems like a lot but so is starting any business or hobby if it is for you than do it there is nothing stopping you besides you. So, what you may not get the overnight success that you see people getting on a daily basis. The fact that you worked hard and put in the work believe me it will pay off someday. Take me for instance I’m posting this information for you and a helpful guide and a truthful realization that nothing is easy and if it does come easy, be cautious. I love helping others but sometimes I think my advice is either solely for me or that others may not just understand me. It’s just the people around me daily is on a different level in life than I am and possibly the person that needs my knowledge is searching for it on the web. Hence is why I started my own blog. Now I didn’t read any blogs that told me that it’s going to take patience and a lot of work to get it started but the fact that when I got my website launched it was wonderful. Being able to express myself via writing (typing technically) is such a wonderful feeling for me it’s almost like an adrenaline rush for me.
Don’t get me wrong I’m not trying to discourage you in starting a blog I’m not even being endorsed to give you this advice. I’m just warning you the amount of time you would need to put into your venture. My blog for me is like a pressure release; your blog maybe more educational or entertaining whatever your niche is do it. Understanding your truth about yourself and going after it is just amazing, and I guarantee you that you would be so happy it’s ridiculous and people who are miserable around your will either help and strive for theirs or move on to someone else who is just as miserable.
Basically, when it comes to starting a blog you need to know what outcome you want people to get from your post, be passionate about it, and most importantly be prepared to put in the work. A blog is not something that can be setup and started in 30 mins if you are serious about it. I treat my blog like my job because presently it is a venture that I am interested in. But the content I post is true to myself and they are topics that I know a lot about rather its something from my past or present. Hope you guys enjoyed that venting session and don’t be discouraged be determined and focused.
