Although there are a number of social platforms where people can express their opinions, thoughts, and themselves, many prefer to use a personal blog. Here a few reasons why people choose blogging over other forms of social media.
- Awareness. Many blogs focus on one issue and the main goal is to persuade others to think in a certain direction. These blogs are usually created by bloggers that want to make a difference in some way in their society or in the world. It helps to connect and join them with others who feel as passionate as they do about the issue and transitions to something big.
- Creativity. Blogging is one of the best ways to express your creative side. You do not have to worry about people criticizing your work on other social platforms where they might not be accepted. On your own blog, you can attract readers that like your creativity and won't judge or make you feel shy about it.
- Money. It might seem far-fetched, but you can't definitely make big bucks from blogging. Bloggers advertise and come up with cool ideas that can help generate some money towards them. All it takes a little patience and creativity as stated before.
- Promotion. Blogs are an excellent way to market and promote yourself and your work. Your blog is all about YOU! You can show your skills and knowledge of what ever you're interested in and make your online presence known.
- Expression. This relates to promotion slightly where you write about what you're interested in. The slight twist that bloggers love is that no one can censor them. They can talk about any and everything whether PG or not. They do not have to worry about it getting reported because their viewers have the same point of view. Bloggers take out their frustration, sadness, anger, and even express their happiness through their blogs. Your blog is a safe place to write your feelings.
- Growth. Bloggers love that they can document themselves on their blogs. It's a great way to see how they have progressed and how they can improve the future. They love looking back on how they have grown over time; how there blogs have become lengthier or when they started to reveal more about themselves. It helps them learn more about themselves and appreciate how far they have come.
- Produce. By focusing on your own blog it gives you the opportunity to produce more content. You don't have to worry about the irrelevant posts on Instagram or Twitter distracting you from your craft. Bloggers get to improve their content, come up with fresh ideas, and attract more readers.
