Have You Blogged Yet?
As a web designer I create pages for businesses and individuals looking to have an online presence. Since being digital is what I know, it often creeps out into my analog life as well. For a long time I would tell my sister about blogging and was met with relative indifference until one day she told me she had set up a blog on Wordpress.com. “Cool!” I thought.
A few months after that, she approached me asking questions about having her own domain and certain other technical concepts and that is when I knew she was hooked. She now has come a long way since then and has her own monetized blog and writes quite frequently. I still help with pictures and I helped customize her theme but the point is… Have you tried blogging?
While it may seem there’s a lot to know, the concept is really quite simple. Write about what you know. Express what is in you and the rest will fall into place over time. Yes, there are a lot of people making good money writing blogs but don’t focus on that. Yes, there are a gazillion blogs out there but you need not worry about that either. Once you get started and you find your groove, you come to realize that it is quite therapeutic.
The hardest part of all is just getting started, finding “your voice” and what you feel comfortable writing about. After a while, you will find yourself actually “thinking” in your blog persona and anticipating your next post. The more you do it, the easier it becomes and who knows, you might just find yourself making a living writing about what you love.
I will be discussing the art and science of blogging in later posts so if you want to know more about it, this will be a great place to bookmark.
See you next time!
