After writing over 1,000 blog posts, I finally set aside some time to recall how this journey began. There are millions of people embarked on their own journeys, but few people take the time to go back to the roots. Few people ask questions like, “Why did I start?” or “Why did I create my own team?”
Starting blogging was one of the best experiences I have ever had. Blogging has allowed me to write about what I want to write about and reach out to countless people. The big perk of blogging that initially attracted me was the ability to do what you love at home while making a profit. I never had plans at any point in my life of what job or career I would pursue. The only thing I knew is that it was going to be a lot of fun, and blogging has definitely fulfilled that goal.
It is very important to do something that you enjoy because this will make you put in as much of your time and effort as possible. Working at a job you do not enjoy will result in you avoiding the extra mile and not seeking to improve in your work.
That is why I pursued blogging. I enjoyed it, and it brought in some extra money. Over the years, I have been able to create a blogging empire that results in more revenue and more enjoyment than a summer job. I can’t even imagine being an employee for someone else.
Surprisingly, I never thought of my blog posts as more essays to write or anything like that. Blogging gives me flexibility. I was able to talk about the Red Sox, Yugioh Cards, and Legos, and people came. All of those blogs ended up getting a few thousand visitors. This particular blog has been the gem of them all, but I got to this stage years after I started blogging.
Blogging is one of the best journeys anyone can take. Blogging gives you the power to put your content in front of the world and build an influence. I am a proud blogger, and I do not see myself stopping anytime soon. In fact, I will most likely never stop.
What was the hook that got you into blogging?
Another really good post Marc! I always get inspired when I read from your blog. I’ve just started my 2nd blog and am doing it for the same reasons as you. I enjoy it.
Thank you for leaving this comment Graham. I greatly appreciate it and am happy to see that you blog because you enjoy it. The pure enjoyment of blogging is what allows bloggers to keep on keeping on and eventually make a profit.
Hi Marc. I’m a beginner blogger. It’s interesting to hear a pro blogger’s story and encouraging to know that it took a few years for your blog to reach the momentum it has now. Thanks for sharing your story.
My pleasure. All blogs have the potential to reach extraordinary results. It’s all a matter of learning & implementing new techniques while remaining committed to publishing valuable content.
