3,768,523 Reasons You Should Be Blogging
Everyone wave hi to Pete. “HI PETE!”
*note this is not a picture of Pete, but it made me laugh so I had to go with it*
Pete started a blog recently and I’m celebrating. Months ago I told Pete that he was a born writer and should get one started. It looks like my influence won out this time.
Why should you blog?
1. It’s the funnest thing in the world.
2. You’ll earn hipster cred.
3. Establishes that you know what you’re talking about or that at least you’re good at sounding like you know what you’re talking about.
4. SEO SEO SEO SEO SEO
5. You’ll generate large passive amounts of income very quickly.
6. Way to start a multi-level marketing empire.
7. Livejournal is still cool.
8. You’ll win points with girls if you tell them you’re a blogger. (It only happened once for me, but once is enough.)
9. Place to get stuff/thoughts out in the open.
10. Free speech kicks ass.
11. Good excuse for wasting time at work
12. It’s easier than writing a book.
13. Tweets are 140 characters. Blogs are unlimited.
14. You can be controversial (refer back to number 10).
15. You can use it to sell a million ebooks and launch an amazing career and become the next Tim Ferris.
16. Your friends are tired of your stupid Facebook updates.
17. Your spelling and grammar might improve (mine hasn’t).
18. A place to share photos of your cat(s).
19. Gives coworkers/friends/parents a reason to make fun of you.
20. If you write really good posts and read Problogger and Copyblogger everyday you’ll earn $6.72 in Google Adsense revenue per month.
21. You might actually help someone.
The other 3 million reasons don’t matter so I’m going to stop here. Actually if number 21 isn’t motivation enough to start a blog, than I’m not sure if anything will work.
Point is… I think you should start one. I demand you start one. Do it and thank me later.
