So Can You Still Start Blogging?
Perhaps you have thought about starting a blog. And then you thought to yourself, “Is blogging still a thing? Isn’t that so 2006?”
Is it too late for you to start a blog? Has that ship already sailed?
There are basically two reasons to start a blog:
- You have something that you enjoy sharing.
- There are people who need the information you have.
Regarding the first one, it really doesn’t matter if blogging is still popular or if the internet is filled with podcasts and video channels. If writing about your topic brings you joy, then you should go for it.
When it comes to the second reason, people are always asking questions and are looking for answers. The majority of people who come to my blogs, find me by doing a Google or other kind of search rather than me sharing my posts.
While plenty of people have answered the common questions, or at least have given their perspective, the exciting thing is that our world is constantly and quickly changing. New questions are being asked and the answers to the old questions are requiring greater nuance.
Should you start blogging? I cannot answer that.
Can you start blogging? Absolutely. I cannot promise that you will have thousands of readers right away (or ever). But I can tell you that there is still plenty of room in the blogosphere.
