“I think I am not too good at writing!”
“I am not comfortable expressing my personal issues/ideas/opinions regarding something”
“I can only get time off at weekends. Why waste it writing blogs?”
“I am simply not interested. It is not worth it to write for less money”
These are the common reactions of most people when they are asked if they would like to write blogs as one of the income sources.
Even though you may find a lot of websites offering you opportunities to blog on a range of topics, not many people choose it as a past time. Blogging is generally seen as a monotonous task creeping into your personal thoughts on issues by many people. Others think more about who will be interested to read blogs written by them until and unless it comes with a celebrity tag with it.
But hold on…
Do not undermine the power of your thoughts! For once, think about what you are missing out? No, it’s not just that extra money!
It is the power to express and see the changes happen around!
So, here is a list of 12 incredible non-financial reasons that would make you want to start writing blogs:

But these are just tangible things that can be easily spent or get easily withered away with time. Along with them, just think about leaving a mark on the young minds of the future generation! If you wish, you can do so! Create history by recording your thoughts about current happenings in the present.
