Why blog? Is it a must to have a blog?

Why should you even own a blog?  So because Linda ikeji owns a blog and she’s making millions monthly, you think you too can also own a blog today and make millions tomorrow? But sadly, it’s not as easy as you see it to be or the way it has been preached to you. If by having a blog can make you very rich in no time, then many Nigerians would have been millionaires by now. Because anyone who is broke will just have to head to blogger or WordPress, after a few clicks “boom” your blog is ready and you can now start making millions too. Sadly enough it doesn’t and would never work that way. This is because….

“BLOGGING IS NOT A GET RICH QUICK SYSYTEM”

Gone are the days of Linda ikeji or back in 2006/2007 where anyone can just start up a blog, copy content from other blogs or news website and apply for googles AdSense. After getting approved in no time, the next thing is to start spamming your link over the internet and you will still be able to make a decent dollar a day. Let say between 50-100 dollars or if not more. Back then it was a whooping N250,000 – N500,000 monthly. And this amount was easy to achieve if you knew how to spam.       B u t    t h o s e  days are far gone.

These are the days of hard work and consistency. Am sorry, if you don’t know how to do any of these, you will not make a penny from blogging. so if your aim is to get rich quick, i will advice you to raise your tent and pitch it somewhere else. If you are not committed to the cause, it is better to withdraw than to waste your time doing things you don't love.

But on the other hand, blogging can be a fun thing to do especially when you have something to blog about. it can go from a hobby to a full time profession. It is not just about google ad-sense and traffic, but its about your passion and the things you love doing and sharing. The truth is.....you can actually blog about anything. It could be about dogs, just because you have a pet dog or just because you love dogs. It could be about cars just because you love fast cars. it could be about farming or gardening if you have a lot of experience in the topic. It could even range from a topic of fun to a professional subject or even a company blog. What am trying to say is that ......you can totally blog about anything as long as you have an idea about the topic.

So you see, anything is possible with a blog. Just be focused and determined and you will earn as much as linda ikeji before you even know it. Even if it takes time, your work and effort will surely pay.
