Why Now is the Perfect Time for Blogging

Hi, all! Hope you're keeping safe and well. 😘

Today's post is about why right now is the perfect time to begin a blog and start writing - just in case you didn't already read the post title 🙃... I mean, I did! And because of that decision, I get to pass this information to you. 😃

So, why should you start a blog?

This post will be organised into sections, divided by a dashed line and clear headers. You're welcome! 👍😉

You are probably guaranteed to have heard about it on the news, or on social media - and by it, I mean coronavirus - but what is it really, and how is it affecting people?

Coronavirus is a new illness that can affect your lungs and airways. It can also be called COVID-19. Just newly discovered, most people infected with coronavirus can experience mild (or sometimes moderate) respiratory illnesses.

Older people, especially those with medical issues, like cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, are more likely to become ill with it.

It affects people in lots of ways:

• Big families are not able to visit each other as often and opt to video call family members. I know this because this rule is one I have to abide to, myself.

• More and more people around the world are passing, or having to go into hospitals.

• Confidence is drooping slightly - people think it will never end...

And that's not all... we see pictures and social media posts everyday showing ill people in hospital beds. We hear people talking about the number of cases and deaths from other's mouths. We just can't stop thinking about COVID-19 - it's such a known, life-threatening pandemic!

Dude, I am so bored of lazing around all day, trying to keep myself sane.

Oh, wait - no.

I mean, I would be... If I didn't have this blog to maintain!

Come on! We have so much time on our hands nowadays (well, more than before...) and we need something to do! Unless you want to end up like this guy, over here:

So, if you're so bored all day, why don't you give blogging a try? What's the worst that could happen?

No, seriously...

Blogging is dedicated to those who have a lot to say about a specific topic or hobby. For example, if someone was a professional swimmer, they could start a blog about swimming and help other people by sharing tips and tricks.

You don't even have to be a proper coder or anything! Blog hosting sites like Siteground and Bluehost are great for hosting websites or blogs without coding.

And WordPress and Wix (wow, they both begin with 'w') use drag-and-drop features to create websites.

WHOA, wait! Are you worried about having to pay a lot of money to get a blog sorted? Because if you are, there's no reason to! I wouldn't recommend going fully free and not spending a coin - although that is exactly what I did 😕 - because that can limit your audience and make you earn less.

Heck, you don't even have to ear anything from a blog!

The main point is... blogging is not rocket science 🚀!

So why don't you create your own blog and see how it goes...
