Why do people blog?

The biggest benefits of blogging

Become a better writer and thinker

If you've ever wanted to explore a topic more seriously and turn your passion into a career, then a blog is your pathway. Whether you love pets, food or gardening, creating a blog on those topics is an awesome idea!

Never "work" every again

They always say, "if you enjoy what you do, it never feels like work". That truly is how I feel every day. I enjoy learning every day, and I get to apply those learnings to my business: Wise Startup Blog. I promise you'll find the same joy in your own blog.

Never "work" every again

Make money from your blog

I started Wise Startup Blog back in college as a way to pay for groceries and for a night out. Fast forward more than 10 years later, and I'm living in New York City from the profits from this site. You truly can make money from your blog, and all it takes is your decision to get started.

What readers want from any blog

When launching your blog, your goal is to make it an expert resource on any particular topic. This site is dedicated to making anyone a better blogger. Your topic could be teaching people how to eat and cook vegan. Or it could be focused on how to balance working full-time and still being a great mother.

Readers are looking for information

Think of your blog like the starting point for your topic. Your successful blog will be filled with awesome articles that make people want to bookmark them, read them later and share them all over social media (and I'll show you how to do all three).

Readers are looking for solutions

The best way to create articles for your blog is to think of problems you've had recently, and write a blog post about how to solve them. For instance, for your mommy blog, you might write about how to make organic baby food at home.

Readers are looking to be entertained

Let's face it, life can be a real drag sometimes. It's no surprise the top movies at the box office are always comedies. With your blog you have an opportunity to showcase the lighter side of everything in life, and hopefully get your audience to smile :).
