How Do I Become a Blogger? | How to Start a Blog Series

[@evansbowen6897]

I've been blogging regularly for 11 years and I always enjoy writing the blog. I feel that I can really find and use my authentic voice. My blog has been the gateway to writing a book and going to graduate school. I could have never done either of these things if I hadn't learn to write with my blog.

Interesting perspective, but it sounds like you are basing your opinions on your rather unique situation. The Minimalists blog became popular in an era when blogging was more popular, and continues to grow its audience because it provides a unique and valuable read for many people, and (importantly) because it gets constantly cross promoted from the podcast, newsletter, and probably social media posts. I think a lot of the older style personal variety-topic blogs have been replaced with more short-form social media posts, due to ease of access and ease of getting an audience. Running an independent website without somehow promoting it simply won’t garner views, because there is so much content out there. I’d be interested to hear more about what you do besides writing in order to ensure your writing can be read by people who will find it valuable.

I just made a new blog post yesterday. I was inspired by this video. I’m glad to be writing again.

I was thinking about starting a blog for my recipes.
