Why Should You Start A Health Blog?
Health is one of my of the most profitable areas of blogging today. Sharing your personal experiences and healthy journey is something so many are looking to connect with in blogging. And stepping out there could help so many others going through the same thing on their journey. I started Pink Proverb in 2012, and it took some time to get to where I am now.
While starting my health blog has been amazing experience for me here are four popular reason other people start health blogs:
- Connection. It helps you find your tribe of individuals going through the same thing as you.
- Work flexibility. Starting a health blog allows you to work from anywhere. As a mom of a toddler, that is a big benefit for me. And blogging allows me to make money anywhere while supporting my family in the process.
- It is a creative outlet! Hearing about health isn’t always fun. But, I am able to share about it in a meaningful way that lightens the load for myself and my community.
- You can make money around your schedule. It took me a while to figure it out, but I am now able to make as much money as I choose both passive and residual.
Do you see yourself starting a health blog? It can be hard sharing your health journey, but you will be surprised how many people are waiting to hear what you have to say.
Over the years, I have had a lot of trail and errors. But, the one thing I got the first couple of steps right. And to have the right foundation with your blog, you want to host your own content.
