There are many reasons for people's blogs. Initially, I started my blog at the end of 2013 as an author platform.
But over time, I realized that my blog offered more than just author platforms, and not all of them were related to numbers. Blogs offer a different, more substantial purpose. I will even say that it has changed the way I see and live.
That's why if you're thinking about creating a blog, I highly recommend it. That is, if you are blogging for the right reasons.
If you are creating a blog to get rich and even make a living, then don't expect it. It's very difficult to make money from blogs today. In fact, three years later, I have not made money from my blog. By the way, don't believe that the hype that people who try to convince you to blog online courses is a great way to earn passive income. There is no doubt that writing and promoting a blog is a onerous task. There is no passive thing.
In fact, when you first create a blog, it's easy to feel frustrated. As a technical challenger, I have to learn WordPress. Then, I spent a lot of time promoting my blog and trying to find a viewer. Other things I don't understand. Like most blogs, I quickly became obsessed and frustrated with the numbers and how many visitors, subscribers and Facebook fans I have on any given day. As a result, readers who build blogs need a lot of time, energy and patience.
Why blog?
Some people may disagree with me, but I think blogs shouldn't just be about making money, encouraging business, collecting a lot of followers, chasing fame, or trying to sell books.
Blogs can serve as creative channels for expressing ideas, ideas, opinions, beliefs and feelings. Most importantly, writing a blog provides a great opportunity to motivate and touch the lives of others in a positive way.
How blogs have changed my life
In the past few years, my blog has really made me experience a lot of ups and downs. I have written some happy moments, like going to Chicago with my husband to celebrate our anniversary, playing with my grandchildren in the snow, watching Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones on the desert tour, and the weekend. Travel fast. My children are in San Francisco.
I also love my heart when I take care of my mother with Lewy body dementia and write down her temporary death. I felt anxious when my mother-in-law died of ovarian cancer and my son experienced a painful divorce and custody struggle in the same year. [The irony is that shortly after I started writing a blog about happiness, I spent the worst year of my life.]
Yes, I like to read, this provides a welcome reply to my troubles, but writing is my real escape, way out and passion. When I was writing, I became so focused, my problems would disappear for a while, giving me a much needed rest time. In fact, if you are really a writer, believe me, this is a lifelong addiction!
I am very pleased to write my thoughts and feelings into the written process, and help me to relive the happy moments. Writer
As I wrote about my life, my blog helped me think about things that are important to me and determine if my life is moving in the right direction.
Since I can't write every event, thought, thought and feeling, the blog provides a filter that clarifies my life. My blog helped me understand what makes the most sense for me. I found it along the way, sometimes it was the easiest moment to make me the happiest.
Embrace creativity
As a professional writer, my blog gave me a good creative freedom to express myself. Don't pop up anyone's balloon, but writing sounds more attractive than it actually is. For most of the past 25 years, I have written articles about the topics that magazines, newspapers, publishers, and clients have chosen for me.
That's right, I wrote two young adult books, travel articles, humorous works and interesting character stories. On the other hand, in order to make a living, I also wrote an article that made me cry. I have dealt with technical articles - and a technical book - leaving me a headache for Excedrin and making me crazy. I wrote as requested, met the deadlines of others, and wrote late at night, because my brain regrettably tried to call it to quit.
Don't make a mistake what I mean. I may sound very noisy, but I am fully aware that I am fortunate to be able to make a living in the way I like. I won't have any other way.
The key is that my blog is my baby. I am writing a topic that I am interested in, and I am passionate and hope that my audience will like it too. My blog allows me to be a writer, explore, experiment, and try new things whenever Muse hits. Professional writing gave me the discipline of publishing blogs every week, but I wrote blogs when I chose. Believe me, it is not at dawn or at 10 o'clock in the evening! It is very luxurious.
So these are some of the ways blogs change my way of life. But, as I mentioned before, the big reward is that blogs can also change the lives of others.
Some people left a comment and let me know that I have some small inspiration to them or provide useful information, which always brings me such happiness. Writing a blog provides an opportunity to connect with readers and other bloggers, which is very beneficial.
What kind of blog is proven to be the most popular? It is always interesting to see what resonates and hits home. Top 10 blogs I am popular with:
