Why would you start a blog in 2021?
The past 12 months have shown us how important human connection is. Particularly when people have become physically isolated, blogging has brought people together, providing a space for ideas, conversations and community.
In the new Covid-19 world, amidst crisis and fast changes in society, blogging is an established platform which has adapted and helped people in their time of need providing hope and creative solutions to emerging problems.
I am very proud of how bloggers have stepped up to help their local and online communities. I spoke more about this as the virus was hitting in March, in my podcast episode: COVID19 – How to Approach Blogging Through This Crisis.
And amidst the chaos, upheaval and overwhelm of the previous, I am immensely proud of the individuals who have stepped up and decided that they too want to contribute to making the world a better place by creating new blogs. Now, more than even we need to encourage and nurture people who are willing to put themselves out there and do something positive to address the needs of their readers – both current and future.
These new bloggers have made their first steps in the journey toward a profitable blog:
Not yet Launched?
