8 Reasons Why You Should Start a Blog (Even If You’re Not a Writer)

Who says you need to be a writer to blog? Here are 8 awesome reasons why you should start a blog + FREE guide on how to start a blog.

When I started blogging, I didn’t think I was good enough to write. Even back in college, it took me hours to come up with a paragraph (partly because I was unwilling to be messy in my writing). So you can imagine how nervous I was to publish my first blog post. It took me forever to write and when I was finally finished, I didn’t hit “Publish.”

So it sat there as a draft for days even though I so badly wanted to blog. I just couldn’t get over the awkwardness of people in my life knowing I had a blog. Or that I even had the audacity to call myself a blogger with my sub-par skills.

In the end, I realized that starting my blog didn’t have anything to do with my writing. (I learned soon after that I didn’t need to be a great writer to blog– all I had to do was share useful information and mean what I say.) Starting a blog meant coming out of hiding, putting myself out there in a way I never did before, and doing it on a weekly basis. I was scared of the vulnerability and the commitment I was going to put myself through.

Then I remembered that no blogger I ever admired got to where they were by keeping their excuses. They even admit to starting with bare blogs and low-quality content.

My friend even told me, and I love her so much for telling me this, “You know you’re bullsh*tting yourself right? There are so many opportunities waiting for you but you’re being picky about it because you want to control how things go.”

And it was true.

I was scared of putting myself out there because once I was out there, I couldn’t control what people think and say about me. I was letting what I thought what their opinions were, get in the way of me being fully-self expressed.

So I went to my drafts and hit “Publish.” Then began my wild journey. And honestly, it got easier after that. The more I blogged, the more I received messages from readers thanking me for helping them, and the more I found myself motivated to blog even more. It turns out, there were actually people waiting for someone like me to help them. They just didn’t know it until they came across my blog. And I didn’t know it until I heard from them.

So I know it’s scary but you do have an audience out there waiting for you, it doesn’t matter what topic you’re talking about. You just need to be of service to them.

So if you need a little courage to continue blogging or a push to get started, here are 8 reasons why you should blog even if you’re not a writer or an expert.
