## Introduction.

Blogging is fast becoming the quickest way to express yourself online. Owning a blog does not only help and allow you to express yourself, but it also adds many benefits. Here are very few valid reasons you should start blogging now.

### 1. Blogging is essential to Education.
When you determine to start a blog and eventually proceed to buy a domain name and a web host, what you have done is to create an online virtual class that would benefit anonymous students all over the world.

You even get pressured to arrange your thoughts when you start writing a blog post because there are millions of virtual students seeking knowledge from your table of knowledge. If the topic you are writing about has any gaps, you’ll need to learn about it.

###2. Blogging Build Brand Trust.

Blogging is an avenue to create and build your brand’s trust among your audience.

Blogging is a way to develop and sustain loyal customers; when you start to dish out content that helps people solve their problems.

Blogging would enhance your brand image, and this would, in turn, convert visitors into loyal customers. So one way to showcase your portfolio is by starting a blog.

### 3. Blogging Connects Creators With Opportunities.

If you have a skillset or a creative agency that desires to build up a considerable client base, Blogging is one of the best opportunities.

For example. If you are a digital marketing agency, you can simply write a blog post on “Why you should take your business online” and highlight why your readers should have a website.

Whenever someone looks up something related to that article via the search engine, they can come across your post and contact you for a deal. 

This form of monetisation is called online consultations. I wrote an article on how you can monetise your blog with various means; here is its link.

### 4. Blogging is a means of Passive Income.

Blogging as a means of making money online has become so prominent that most people have built their lives around it.

Globally we have people who were broke in the last decade of their lives and become millionaires by just blogging as a profession.

You can choose to start blogging as a profession or side hustle and still make a lot of money.

One thing about Blogging is that when you start to make money from it eventually, your profit begins to grow over time, and this is directly proportional to the value your blog adds and the rate at which your traffic is.

Making money from Blogging is not easy, and this is why you have to strategise to make it full-time properly. Sadly, there are so many blogs, but few of them are doing very well.

I wrote the article below on how you can choose an effective means and method to start making money. You can click the link below to get started.

### 5. Blogging Helps You To Develop Technological Skills.

Most people are scared to start a blog because they are not technologically sound, and they feel it is too hard to get started. Topics like website design, coding and SEO tend to put most people off, but this is not true.

You tend to be a dummy when you start your blog, but you will get perfect after seeking out resources online. 

When I started blogging, I knew nothing about code, but after visiting and revisiting tech blogs that narrate how to solve fundamental tech problems, I started getting very good at what I do.

After over four years of Blogging, I am now a web developer and search engine optimisation expert, all thanks to Blogging. My advice to you as a non-techie person is to get started with Blogging and lose your fear.

### 6. You Will Eventually gain confidence.

There are so many ways to develop personal confidence, and one of them is by starting a blog. If you were born a shy person and need a centre stage to develop your confidence, you should create a blog.

The moment you publish your first blog post and start getting a lot of attention and consultation guidance, you will have a confidence boost because so many people would be willing to learn from the table of your knowledge.

Blogging connects you with many people, and some of them would eventually want to be friends with you. First, however, you need to step out of your shell to communicate with them.

### 7. You Get To Experience Personal Growth.

It’s far more than learning new skills and the confidence you gain from launching and growing a successful business.

It fundamentally changes who you are as a person. It teaches you to be more patient, be more resilient, takes risks, seize opportunities, says no to the wrong things and chase after the right things, spend money shrewdly, plan carefully, set goals, be resourceful, manage your time well, learns quickly and much more besides. Without a doubt, I can say that I am a better person because of Blogging.

### 8. Blogging Helps You To Attract A Huge Audience.

One of the very few ways to make money in the information age is the use of traffic.
Every success you see on the internet today results from a vast audience.

Top platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are still in business because of the vast audience they attract. Many transactions occur when many people are gathered at one particular spot. Think of things like sales, conversions and even leverage.

### 9. Expose your ideas to a more extensive network.

Like social media influencing, Blogging is another way to become an internet influencer.

The moment you publish your first post, so many people are ready to be influenced by your idea, which can give you a voice among the majority.

While growing up on the internet, I had a lot of blogs that I loved to read, which contributed to the ways I approached problems thanks to these individuals.

## Conclusion.
