Why blogging as a job?

You’ve probably heard of blogging, but you might not have heard of blogging as a job. But what exactly is it? How can you get started? What are the pros and cons of pursuing this as your career? With so many questions going through your mind, it’s best to understand what the whole thing entails before making any commitment—especially if you plan on doing this as your source of income. This article will shed some light on blogging as a job, which will help you decide whether or not this is the career path for you.

10 Reasons Why Blogging Could Be The Best Job Ever

If you’re interested in making blogging your job, then you might be thinking about how to make money from it. If that’s not why you want to start blogging, then keep reading; these reasons will help convince you of the benefits of pursuing a career in blogging. You may even realize it’s not really just another hobby. It’s something more... something better!

1. You Can Work From Anywhere

One of many benefits that comes with blogging is having an online career where you can literally work from anywhere. You could be looking at me right now, or writing a post on a beach in Hawaii. It’s up to you. Maybe one day it’ll be something like that for you, too!

2. You Can Do It At Your Own Pace

If you can work blogging into your schedule, it’s one of those jobs where you can choose how much time you want to put in. But working at your own pace isn’t just about spending less time at work—it’s also about having more flexibility, which leads us to our next point.

3. You Have A Wide Audience

There are over 1 billion websites online and new ones created every day. With that many out there, you have a huge audience ready to listen to your voice. Because it’s so easy to set up and maintain your own site, even if you’re an individual just looking for something interesting to do (and maybe make some money), there’s no reason not to try blogging.

4. Money Isn’t An Issue

Let’s face it: we all want money. There’s no way around it, whether you need to pay your bills or support your family. If you want to make good money in blogging, then you need to focus on gaining an audience of readers who are eager to spend their hard-earned cash. You won’t make any cash at all if nobody reads your stuff!

5. You Earn From Every Viewer

No one buys from a company; they buy from an individual. If you want to build your brand into something real, you must become more visible to your customers. People don’t buy ‘what you do’; they buy ‘who you are’, and if people can see who you are, then that increases how much they trust in who you do. Visibility will directly correlate with revenue. – Jeff Bullas

6.There Are No Gatekeepers Or Editors

If you’re used to waiting on gatekeepers or editors to read your work, you may find yourself getting frustrated when it comes time to publish your content. Since you’re writing for an audience of one (you!), there are no gatekeepers here. You get to post what you want, when you want, and with very little delay. There is no editing process; there’s only sharing. The sooner that happens, the better!

7. Control What Gets Published And When

In addition to controlling what gets published on your website and when, blogging is an excellent way to hone your writing skills. When you’re creating content for an external audience, you have to be much more aware of your word choice and style. This focus will only improve your ability to write in other contexts. If you ever decide that you’d like to pursue freelance writing opportunities, it can also help with building connections with publishers in both online and print media who are always looking for quality writers.

8. All Of The Tools Are Free To Use

The resources I listed in my last post are all free to use. When you start your own personal blog, you’ll have all of these tools at your disposal! This makes blogging an incredibly affordable hobby, let alone career path. As long as you’re willing to put in some elbow grease and learn how to use each tool properly, it shouldn’t take long for you to make something amazing on your own little corner of the internet.

9. Learning New Skills Is Always Beneficial

A few years ago, you could probably live without blogging. It wasn’t essential to most careers and wasn’t a skill that was in high demand. Today, however, blogging is becoming much more important because of social media. Businesses need individuals who can create blogs for them—and even add content to existing ones. This means there are far more opportunities for bloggers than ever before—particularly those who know how to make a profit off their writing by monetizing it through online ads and affiliate marketing programs.

10. Personal Branding

Many people think of blogging as an amateur hobby, but it’s become so much more in recent years. Today, bloggers and social media influencers are able to make a living based off their popularity alone—and it’s not uncommon for established writers to quit their day jobs to write professionally on things they’re passionate about. In other words, there’s serious cash in blogging these days.
