Blogging for business is not on the agenda for many. They may just want to write a journal, share their creativity, rant, spread awareness and educate. Whatever it is. But in order to be sustainable, you will have to plan, if you want to keep doing it.
If none of the above are your goal, then maybe you will share the reason behind why you blog with me.
Amazon is cutting affiliate commission, the economy is not as good as it should be and you don’t know what to do with your blog, From the day I became eighteen I wanted to be financially independent. That’s my blog’s goal too. It must sustain itself. Whatever work I do it must support the money spent on the domain and hosting.
If not, then in times like these it gets difficult. If you do want to earn money through blogging, then you must have a plan. I talk about blog monetization in my book too. But today I will share why I find Blogs powerful.
Blogs, if self-hosted is your fiefdom. You control PUBLISHING
The content, the pictures, the tone, the advertising, branding timing, everything. You are the one person who is answerable. That is important.
Sticky note: This also makes you liable for fraud, plagiarism, misrepresentation, and defamation suits, if you are not careful. Blogging is serious fun. But it’s also serious.
Blogs are the mother of work from home.
You work from anywhere. Blog anytime, day or night. For moms, this is a golden opportunity to keep creating your online resume, for whatever work you do. Nowadays blogging and technical writing is both a part of the online presence of most brands.
Blogs help sustain your mental health, if you do it right.
Blogging is writing. That’s the crux of it. If you are like me and have no inkling why you started writing, but you feel unhappy not writing, you know what I am talking about.
If I don’t write I am sad. There are times when I get overwhelmed and don’t know what to do first. Then I open a word doc and start writing. I remember it took courage to buy a domain name and hosting six years back when I knew even less. If not for blogging, new Corona crazy times would be savage. But because I blog, its easier to cope. Somewhat.

Blogging is very powerful indeed. I have not yet moved to a self-hosted site. I’m scared that I won’t be able to cover the costs. I will go through your tips regarding the same. I blog because writing is one of my greatest passion. During this lockdown, blogging is what keeps me sane.
Yes blogging is helping all of us in these times.

I agree with you that blogging is powerful, for all those reasons you mentioned! And it is my experience, too, that monetizing a blog successfully is hard work.
I agree that blogging can be good for mental health! A few months ago I was depressed and was at my wits end . . . when I announced to my family that I was going back to blogging and would be unavailable some times of the day, my mental health has greatly improved! Thanks for these tips!
Blogging is health! The crux. You nailed it.
