Buckle up, strap in.
Here it goes!
I am finally doing it. After many years of sitting on the sidelines – a fire has kindled under my behind and I am blogging.
For those still skeptical – I put together a list of seven reasons why having a personal blog is an awesome move:
-
Why let other sites define your reputation online – own it all yourself!
You can control and curate your personal narrative and story – this is powerful.
-
Projects and creations that are not online are basically invisible. Get them out for the world to see.
Your ideas could inspire people around the world – that is IF they are available.
Imagine this locked up in someone’s basement.
-
Information wants to be free – share your knowledge with the world.
Your ideas could inspire people around the world – that is IF they are available.
-
Find like minded people – build a community around people that enjoy the same topics and hobbies that you love.
Find your tribe, find the others like you! They are out there waiting.
You wish you could look this cool!
-
A blog allows the ability to package and present content to make it even better
Awesome guides and courses help out just as much as the knowledge that they bundle up.
-
Make it your home base
Instead of isolated social media accounts – bring all of your visitors to one place – to your place – your blog. Home sweet home.
- It is cheap!
The start up cost is tiny – while the potential upside is huge: clients, readers, and success are potentially right around the corner – with a little sweat equity and elbow grease and consistency of course!
For guidance on getting started I wanted to give a special reference to John Sonmez of Simple Programmer. He has a convenient guide that helps when Beginning – Just as John’s course motivates me to write here!
