What you need to know before creating a blog during the global pandemic

 

The pandemic has made quite a lot of people to source other means of income and business opportunities due to the alarming number of employees made redundant, small

and medium-sized businesses closing temporarily and permanently or unplanned circumstances. Though some have made good use of the opportunity to focus on personal/professional development that can enhance their job opportunities others have resorted to starting online businesses. 

I had the privilege of discussing extensively with some interested people on blogging and the various ways to monetize it, lucky one of them joined the bandwagon. During our discussion, one of the most important aspects was the importance of creating a blog and being consistent during the pandemic. According to my explanation, starting a blog is a personal journey that needs time, therefore you will need to answer questions that will serve as a guide to you like:

1. What are your main reasons for starting the blog?

2. Are you comfortable going public about your life?

3. Do you want to blog full time or part-time?

4. Are you passionate about the niche you are choosing?

5. How consistent do you think you can be over a period of time?

6. Who are your role models? 

7. Are you willing to develop the necessary blogging skills?

These will put you in a better position to know what your blog will be about and how to manage it.

Let me know if I can be of help in any way.

Cheers.
