To blog or not to blog, that is the question (get it). We might be biased but we think blogging is a good idea and something you should consider.

For us, starting a blog was the right choice. Our blog has opened us up to opportunities and we wish we would have done it sooner.

You are reading this post so that means you are already considering starting a blog. If you're already thinking about it, why not go for it?

Starting a Blog in 2020 can seem like a crazy idea. We get it, there are so many blogs already out there so it's easy to get discouraged.

But trust us, we have plenty of reasons why it's time you started a blog. Always remember "Don't let the fear of striking out, stop you from playing the game" - Babe Ruth.

Who's to say your blog won't be special? Your words may help someone or fill a void you didn't even know existed.

If starting a blog is something you want to try, give it a go. It will be a lot of work but if it's truly your passion then all of the benefits of blogging make it worth it.

Creative Outlet

For us, the main benefit of blogging is having an outlet for our ideas. We can share as little or as much as we'd like and get creative with it.

A blog can be whatever you want it to be. You can make it a diary, more informative, or a little bit of both.

Having a blog allows you to not only put your thoughts down but share them with others. A blog is a safe space for you to get as unique as you want.

There are so many ways to customize your blog that it's easy to personalize. You can share your creativity through fonts, layouts, words or pictures.

Source of Income

If money is one of your only reasons for starting a blog, we will warn you, it's hard work. It may be too much work if you hate everything else about blogging.

If you already have an interest in blogging then making it a source of income is a bonus. You get to do something you love while also turning it into a side hustle.

A lot of bloggers eventually turn it into a full-time income but admit it is a FULL-TIME JOB. If you put in the time, there is a lot of opportunity for reward.

We love that we can blog from home during our spare time while also making extra money on the side. For us, the money we make is just an extra perk.

Stay Connected

The world-wide-web has an incredible reach all over. Using this to your advantage means you can stay connected with little effort.

Your blog can be a way for friends and family to keep in touch even when apart. You can share your journey or what you're learning with people far away.

We love that our blog helps our friends and family keep tabs on us while we travel the world. This way everyone knows what we're up to and can learn about our adventures.

Learn New Things

It's important to keep the mind active. Having a blog is a great way to keep learning new things and give your brain a workout.

Every blog post you make requires research and a lot of it. Everything you lookup helps you to learn more and more about topics you may have thought you mastered.

Even running a blog teaches you new tricks with things like web design and coding. Luckily, its beginner coding but there is room for mastering it.

Your learning opportunities are not limited to just digital. You can also become a better planner to keep your website running and improve your photography skills.

Opportunity for Growth

We're firm believers in always trying to improve. Starting a blog allows you to grow and improve with every post.

Wanting a final product that you're proud of will help push you to make sure your blog is everything you wanted and more. Plus every post you write might teach you ways to improve yourself.

Sometimes when we get in a rut, we look back at old posts like how to save water and our 100 item wardrobe and that motivates us to get back to basics.

Exciting Hobby

This might be the main reason why you should start a blog. A blog is not only a great hobby but it can be an exciting one.

When you find yourself with a lot of time on your hands, blogging is a great idea. It's fun but also beneficial to you and your readers.

You can also use the blog to expand on a hobby you already have. We have always loved traveling but having the blog made us up our travel game.

We end up traveling to places we might not have thought of before. The only reason we went to Shady Dell and Lake Havasu was to get great content for our blog while working in Arizona.

Find Purpose

If you're sitting around doing nothing you can start to feel pretty down. Starting a blog can give you something more meaningful to do during your time.

One of the great things about starting something new is the feeling of purpose it gives you. You might start with one way of looking at your blog but suddenly it is turning into something even bigger than you imagined.

It can also put more purpose to other hobbies you might have. If you already travel then having a travel blog can bring more purpose to your vacations.

There are many benefits to starting a blog. No matter what your reason, if it's something you want to try then you should give it a go.

We can tell you over and over again why starting a blog is a good idea but now its time for you to act. No more excuses, it's time for you to start a blog.
