“Should I start a blog” you often wonder. Maybe you catch yourself writing blog posts in your head or frantically scribbling down blogging ideas in the middle of the night, but for some reason, you haven’t taken the plunge just yet, and you want to figure out if blogging is for you. As someone who sat on the sidelines for years and is now a beginner blogger, I’m eager to share five reasons to start your blog TODAY instead of putting it off for another year.

I spent YEARS reading blogging tips & tricks instead of actually blogging. I thought I needed to learn everything possible FIRST, instead of starting a blog and learning by trial and error.

There are some things you can’t learn from a blog post or masterclass. Eventually, you need to show up, start your blog, make mistakes and watch how quickly you learn! Today, I’m sharing 5 mistakes I made as a new blogger, but please - don’t make mistake #5. Skim this post real quick, grab my free PDF download (the Build a Blog Checklist) and GO START YOUR BLOG. I mean it!! You’ll learn so much more in those weeks as a beginner blogger than you will reading dozens of blogs about blogging tips.

Four. That’s how many blogs I started and quit before I FINALLY stuck with it. I had excuses of course - I was busy. I had nothing to write about. I didn't have any readers.

I would have told you my circumstances held me back each time, but now I see it was my mindset.

I don't have time = this isn't worth my time

I have nothing to write about = no one wants to read about my boring life.

I don't have a following = the people who follow me right now don't matter.
