- Blogging teaches you discipline. Having to sit down once a day or once week (or at whatever frequency you do it) and write is an important skill. It forces you to learn the difficult lesson that some of the best things in life happen as a result of delayed gratification. Writing is one of those things, but there are others.
- Blogging teaches you introspection. I’ve already shared how blogging helped me understand myself and my place in the world. But I’m not the only one. My friend Scott Dinsmore told me he didn’t know what he wanted to do with his life until he started a blog. Sitting down to write made him realize what was important. Now, he leads a global community of people who are rethinking the way they approach work — all because Scott started a blog.
- Blogging gives you a voice. We all have something to say, even if we don’t think of ourselves as writers or speakers. A blog gives you a place, free from censorship and criticism, to say what’s on your heart and find other people who connect with what you believe.
- Blogging and writing reviews can be done in an hour or LESS!
Blogging and writing reviews also gives you a chance at some really awesome FREEBIES! And/or get paid for your reviews and possibly paid-per-post! Here is a great article by U.S. News, that gives a good idea of "if you could get paid, blogging!" I have been asked many times how I get all of the free things that come to my house. Answer is simple... I write reviews for companies, consistently. Sometimes I apply to certain product reviews, other times; I am ASKED to write for them! NPR posted a really good article a while ago about writing Amazon reviews, check it out!
If you ever have any questions, or simply just want help promoting or starting your blog, email me anytime, I'd be more than happy to help support your new adventure in getting paid & receiving some great products by spending a little time blogging and writing reviews.
