6 Reasons Why You Should NOT Start a Blog
Plus a better alternative
We’re talking traditional blogs here. The kind you proudly create on WordPress and show the world… and then nobody cares.
Sounds familiar? It happened to me numerous times. I’ve been blogging for 13+ years. The realization came slowly. Yeah, really sloooowly.
However — to lift your spirits up — blogging can still work, of course, it can. It won’t get easier though. That’s for sure. So, instead of starting a new WordPress blog, or Blogger, or Wix, or Squarespace, take a look at 6 reasons why traditional blogging might not be the best way to go.
1. It’s a hassle
Choosing a platform, hunting for the right theme, look and feel, getting a domain, setting everything up, keeping it up-to-date. This is only a shortlist of things you need to do immediately and regularly. Not to mention that some of these things cost. Like a lot.
Luckily, there’s a much better and easier way to get started. We’ll come to that later.
Key takeaway: It’s not the writing that counts. It doesn’t even take up the majority of your time in the beginning. It’s the other things like setup, maintenance, SEO, and marketing that do. I wish I could just write.
