Why is blogging so intimidating?<\/h1>\n

Blogging is intimidating for pretty much everyone – WHY?\u00a0 There are a lot of answers, but the main reason is because we, as bloggers, don’t have confidence.\u00a0 We aren’t confident people are going to like….or care….about what we have to say, we aren’t confident what to write about. We aren’t confident in our writing style and we aren’t confident people will read it.\u00a0 People are never sure blogging isn’t a total waste of time.\u00a0 I know this because it’s taken me a long time to build up confidence to “just do it”.\u00a0 Basically, if you put it out there someone is going to read it.\u00a0 You may not get a million hits on your blog, but your article may get indexed by Google which means it will pop up on a search engine, but most of all it will secure your customer’s confidence that you know what you are doing!<\/p>\n

Pretty much every one I talk to thinks their business is too boring to blog about.\u00a0 This simply is not true.\u00a0 You throw an industry at me, and I bet we could brainstorm at least 30 articles about it.\u00a0 I worked for an accident injury attorney when blogs first started getting popular and we always found ourselves thinking “Who wants to read about an accident injury attorney”.\u00a0 Truth is, if you are in an accident, you would love to read about statistics, facts, hints coming from a professional like an accident attorney.\u00a0 Once we sat down and actually started brainstorming we came up with hundreds of subjects to blog about.<\/p>\n

My husband is a contractor and he thinks his business is too boring to blog about, so we did the same thing.\u00a0 We brainstormed a list of blog subjects and wa-la we got about 40 blog articles within just a few minutes.\u00a0 If you are running out of ideas just google your industry and you will find a ton of other blogs and articles that you can get ideas from. DO NOT COPY someone else’s article though – get ideas and then rewrite it to make it your own!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
