Thousands of new blogs are created every day. Why so much of people are into blogging now? Are they attracted to it because of the benefits it may offer to you in your personal life as well as for any business you run? Do they think it is an easy way to make money online? But you need to survive those crucial and toughest period until you make your blog successful in terms of generating income.
Oh! Sorry, I am not here to discuss anything that help you earn money online. I am running away from my points. Actually, I am here to discuss the benefits of having a personal blog alongside your primary blog that is a niche blog.
1.Write any subject of your choice
With a personal blog, the major advantage, anyone can enjoy, is the variety of topics they can write. Do you think your knowledge and ideas are only limited to a few particular area? That may never be the real fact. Everyone will have their views and opinions on what they see, hear and experience in their day to day life. How can you write something about your recent holiday to ‘Gods own country‘ in your technical blog? No need to say that you can’t write about the cake decoration ideas your wife or mother have in mind in one of your blogs dedicated to gadgets. Even a Christmas wish on my blog sounds to be unprofessional to many readers. I am pretty sure that having a personal blog will let me enjoy the freedom of writing about anything under the sun, as well as anything above the sun.
2.Brand yourself as an authority
A personal blog can make you brand yourself as an authority in a chosen field. You may have a niche blog or a business blog of your own. But, that may not help you brand yourself. Here, comes the advantage of using your personal blog to brand yourself as an authority in a topic or field you are good enough.
3.Platform to create an online business
When you start a personal blog, the number of audiences you may have is limited to few people who are close to you. It may not be easy for you to find some motivation to continue writing such a blog as a personal diary. I know few of those people reading this blog now might have experienced that is some point of their blogging journey. Here, I suggest you to keep motivated since you cannot rule out the fact that your personal blog may soon develop into a money making website if you carefully take the necessary and right steps. There are a lot of instances where people turned their personal blogs into high earning travel blog. Also, you might land up getting the chances of selling products that are related to the topics you are writing.
4.Improve your writing skill and style
When you are writing a blog in a particular niche, you may not be able to adopt different styles in your writing. For example, when you are writing a blog about technology or mobile phones, you can adopt only a style that is very much suitable for that kind of niche. The same author may have the ability to write a humour article that he or she will not be able to implement in a technical blog. A personal blog gives you the flexibility to try different styles of writing since you may not be posting similar kind of topics every time you publish a new blog post. Today, you may publish a humour story and tomorrow you may write something else.
5.Use your blog as a personal diary
A personal blog can be used as your personal diary if you wish. It is all up to you to decide that. It may not sound good to many people as they are not interested in revealing their personal life to others. Still for many people, they like the idea of boasting about their latest holiday destination of the brand new car they own. It acts as a medium for such people to express anything of your choice. Also, it acts similar to a social media platform where they can update all the events (happenings) in their life so that their friends and loved ones will notice that.
6.Improve traffic and ranking for your main blog
Imagine you have a personal blog with a good number of followers and traffic. Then it may help you increase the traffic and SEO ranking of your other main blog if you can make successful links to each website on a large number of articles.
7.More networking opportunities with bloggers of different niches
When you are involved with only a particular niche of blogging, you may get the chance to interact with people who are running blogs in the same niche as yours. It may not be the case with an immensely successful personal blog. Since the blog is a personal one, the followers of that blog may include readers of different niches. Hence, the chances of interacting with people from different walks of life around the globe are more compared to your niche blog.
Bottomline
It is always better to have a personal blog alongside your main blog so that you can utilize all its possibilities to achieve more heights in blogging. I would like to hear your views and opinions on this topic especially if you have a personal blog or thinking of starting one soon.
