Here are three reasons to start a blog right away:

1) As a Creative Outlet

This is why I started blogging back in 2007. I was a young, stay-at-home mom with a toddler, a baby, & no family or close friends living nearby.

I loved to read & write, & blogging gave me a creative outlet for sharing what I was learning & what I loved.

Bonus: As an INTJ female (highly introverted woman), blogging helped me connect with other women who had similar interests… without having to leave my home. Win/win!

2) Make Money from Home

I’d been blogging for a few years before I realized that some people were making money from home through their blogs. There are a few main ways to do this:

  • Affiliate links (partnering with companies you love & shop with)
  • Selling digital products (like printables or ebooks)
  • Services (like coaching, proofreading, copywriting, etc.)

Bonus: One blog post that ranks well in Google can provide years of ongoing, passive income.

Examples from my blog:

3) Start Your Writing Portfolio

If you know my work-from-home story, then you know that I worked on the editorial team for Fort Worth Moms for three years. This was a really good experience for me, & it ultimately helped me realize that I wanted to pursue copywriting as a career.

The Caveat: I was starting a freelance business from scratch, with no college education, very little work experience, & zero clients.

The Life Saver: As a lifestyle blogger of nearly two decades, I have years of “writing samples.” Literally every post on my blog, & the many guest posts I’ve written on other sites, is something I can feature when I’m pitching for a new gig or client.

And this is why I say, “Start blogging today.”

If you dream of writing in any professional capacity, start a blog.

Today.

The sooner you get started, the sooner you’ll have writing samples to showcase.
