There are so many reasons to start your own blog. I have emails from some blog visitors asking the reasons to start a blog. Yes, at first I also confused whether or not I will start a blog. I also do some research if it is profitable or not.

If you have any doubts, I hope this post will convince you to start a blog. Alright let’s see the reasons why you should start your own blog.

Once your blog grows older, you will gain more authority, more worth and generate passive income for a lifetime. Another thing if you heard about domain flippers, they buy and resell domains for profit.

Even a single blog(domain.com,.net) can sell for thousands of dollars. I have experienced it but I missed the chance to fetch some big profit.

 

Two years back I have another blog name Trustedreviewed.com. I run the blog for 6-7 months, there were 12-14 posts and some post even ranked in the search engine. I did not give much attention to this blog and let it expire. After realizing the value I tried to repurchase the domain. But to my surprise it has become premium domain, and the price has gone up beyond my expectations.

So don’t miss the opportunity to build your online asset. I can ensure you even you start today value will rise afterwards. By the way you can evaluate the value of the blog/ website by placing the URL in the worthofweb.com. There are different metrics you can analyze like:

Blogging is free. You can start your blog in free blogging platforms like WordPress.com, blogger.com, Tumblr, Medium, Ghost etc. However blogging in free online platforms have limited functionality, themes and plugins. All of your post contents are not even your property.

 

You may have less freedom to grow and create any type of post. So if you are looking to grow and earn online income with your blog, then free blogging is not the great option. I will suggest you to get your own domain as per your niche. Choose best budget freindly hosting and start your blog.

 

I have started my blog with linux Cpanel shared hosting. It is great to start small and save more money. Since I don’t have much site visitors shared hosting is performing well for me. I will recommend Hostripples hosting service provider for starting a blog. Their hosting service is budget freindly and no upsells. Hosting starts from $1 in a month(Rs.35/ month in India).
