I\u2019m a blogger and the more I do it, the more compelled I am to find reasons to continue to do it, because it does take time and effort.\u00a0 So I\u2019ve sat down and written ten reasons why I blog and why you should too.<\/p>\nI\u2019m a blogger and the more I do it, the more compelled I am to find reasons to continue to do it, because it does take time and effort.\u00a0 So I\u2019ve sat down and written ten reasons why I blog and why you should too.<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You should blog because it gives you leverage<\/span>.\u00a0 Most of us are used to narrow-casting; that is delivering our information, our talk, our book to a narrow group of people.\u00a0 Blogging lets you broadcast and allows you to leverage the content you\u2019re creating.<\/p>\n 2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You should blog because it allows you to define your own USP<\/span>, which means your Unique Selling Proposition.\u00a0 You have a unique take, a spin on whatever your expertise may be.\u00a0 It may be in building widgets, or wiring phones or homes, or building cars; a thousand different things that will pique someone\u2019s interest.\u00a0 And it\u2019s your unique spin on it, your unique selling proposition that other people will be attracted to if you\u2019ll only be bold enough to focus and define, and then blog.<\/p>\n 3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You should blog because it allows you to control the look and feel of your brand<\/span>.\u00a0 Like it or not, we all are our own brand.\u00a0 And unless you are proactive in defining the look and the feel of who you are, what you have, what you represent, what your business or your contribution is, what need you\u2019re filling or hurt you\u2019re healing, then other people will define it for you.<\/p>\n 4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You should blog because it allows other people access to your content 24\/7\/365<\/span>.\u00a0 It\u2019s a brave, new, wall-less, wireless world, which means anyone, anywhere, anytime, even while you\u2019re sleeping or resting, you can be contributing to the advancement of the good.<\/p>\n 5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You should blog if you have a compelling mission <\/span>and compelling content to support it.\u00a0 If your mission is compelling, then your content will be compelling because it will be something that comes out of your heart, a passion that will ooze over and out of your blog and the words and ideas that you present.<\/p>\n 6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You should blog because it\u2019s free<\/span>. Enough said.\u00a0 Did I say it\u2019s free?<\/p>\n 7.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You should blog because it will attract supporters to you<\/span> that otherwise would miss the opportunity to be a part of your mission.<\/p>\n 8.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You should blog because it will attract critics.<\/span> And oftentimes critics help us sharpen our voice, our perspectives, and our offerings.\u00a0 Not all critics are there to make us bitter.\u00a0 Some are there to make us better.<\/p>\n 9.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You should blog because it\u2019s a platform in which you can include so many other forms of communication<\/span> like Twitter, YouTube, and a hundred other varieties of ways you can create content and send it out to people who will embrace it and you will ultimately have a movement.<\/p>\n 10.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You should blog because it allows you to lead your tribe through change <\/span>on to the new frontier.\u00a0 We\u2019re going through global transformation and reformation.\u00a0 This is not a recession from which we will recover to the same old place.\u00a0 We are at a brand new place, and I think with hope, faith, and a worthy cause, it\u2019ll be the best place of all.\u00a0 Blogging can help you communicate your story, hone your story to a razor\u2019s edge so that you can be effective over the long term.<\/p>\n Welcome to blogging.\u00a0 And did I say it\u2019s free?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019m a blogger and the more I do it, the more compelled I am to find reasons to continue to do it, because it does take time and effort.\u00a0 So I\u2019ve sat down and written ten reasons why I blog and why you should too. 1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You should blog because it gives you leverage.\u00a0 Most … Continue reading “10 Reasons You SHOULD Blog”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"series":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davidfoster.tv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davidfoster.tv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davidfoster.tv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidfoster.tv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidfoster.tv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=281"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidfoster.tv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davidfoster.tv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidfoster.tv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidfoster.tv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=281"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidfoster.tv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
