At one point in time, before starting my blog, I was very skeptical of how a blog could be a good business model. But now after one year of blogging, I can see why it is the best way to work from home, especially for anyone who aspires to have a completely online business.
There might be hundreds of reasons you stop yourself from starting a blog, but today I will give you all the reasons why I believe blogging is the BEST option and why you should start a blog.
My blogging journey began one year ago in July 2016, and after one year, I earn more than a full-time income from my blog. This one year has given me numerous reasons to I recommend blogging to anyone who wants to work from home.
Top 8 Reasons You Should Start Blogging Today
#1. Talk about Your Passion
We all have our interests or things we love to do. Blogging can be an excellent way to channel your passions. Whether it is traveling, photography, frugal living, education, money management, crafts, etc. The topics for you to blog about are endless.
A blog can be a great medium for sharing the things you love with the world. It can become a creative extension of you, and it can inspire others to follow their passions. Blogging can also be a fun way to share thoughts and opinions with others.
#2. Network with Others
I am an introvert. But blogging changed that. I have made so many friends, and most importantly, so many bloggers/entrepreneurs have inspired me. But none of this would have been possible if it weren’t for my blog.
Blogging has been a great platform for me to network with other bloggers and learn many things. Believe me, the blogging community is the friendliest community out there. Within one year of blogging, I have made amazing blogging friends.
#3. Own an Online Business
Having an online business is the most flexible way of working from home. And blogging provides the best option for this. If you are blogging as a hobby, that’s another thing, but if you want to make it your business, then this is perfect.
The satisfaction you get from owning a virtual business can never be measured. There will be many steps that you need to take to make your blog an official business, but it is doable.

#4. Venture into Bigger Opportunities
My blog has given me numerous opportunities to grow my business. I have met with new brands, collaborated with other bloggers, and ventured into much larger possibilities. A blog is your representation in an online world, and it can give you many ways to grow as an entrepreneur.
Many bloggers I know have successfully expanded their blogging business in different ways like hosting webinars, podcasting, speaking, consulting, etc. It entirely depends on how you want to grow.
#5. Best Option for Flexibility
Now, being a work-at-home mum, this is the BEST advantage I get from blogging. Working at home is all about having flexible options to earn an income. Blogging has perfectly complemented my lifestyle, and I get to spend more time with my family.
Thanks to my blog, I get to do the things that I love, like travel and photography. I have tried many work-at-home options, and this is one of the most flexible ones.
#6. Become an Influencer
By the time I was thinking about starting my blog, I was already following many prominent bloggers who have inspired me a lot. Bloggers like Darren Rowse, Neil Patel, Yaro Starak, and other influential bloggers have inspired many newbie bloggers like me.
Another advantage of being a blogger is that you can become an authority in your niche or topic and help others. This might take some time and hard work, but it is possible.
#7. Learn and Experiment
I love this part. Blogging offers a lot of opportunities to test and experiment with things. From day one, I have been trying new things with my blog.
Sometimes you might get great results and sometimes you might not, but the important part is, you have a huge chance to learn new things and test new strategies with your blog and eventually grow your business.
#8. Help Others with Your Expertise
This is the most interesting thing about blogging. I started my blog because I wanted to help others find work-at-home careers without falling for scams. Believe me; it was a big struggle for me to get through the scams and land the right work-from-home job.
I am so happy that, through my blog, I am able to help others who hope to earn an income from home. Blogging has proved to be a great platform for me to reach out and provide authentic information in my niche.
#9. Earn from Anywhere
I know this is the most discussed part of blogging. For me, blogging has given me great income. I am not saying that this would be the case for everyone who wants to start a blog, but I am a believer in working toward goals.
If you work on the right strategies, promote, and network, you can see an income progression from your blog. Take my stats, for example; I went from around $300 to over $7,000 in a matter of 10 months.
Do you know what the best part of this is?
I can make money from my blog from any part of the world. Blogging is entirely location independent. Many of my readers reach out to me to find out if they can blog from the countries they are in. YOU SURELY CAN!!
There are many advantages to blogging. I am not saying it’s easy. It will take a lot of hard work and a lot of learning to become successful, but if you want a very flexible work-at-home option with excellent earning potential, then this is it.
