How did Blogging changed my life?

Blogging changed my life. I will keep it short, crisp and to the point discussion.

It all started with,

→ The problem I solved.
→ Putting the solution in a document.
→ Sharing it in public.

Here are few lessons from my BLOGGING journey and a few Bonus tips.🔥

  1. START TODAY.

Do not get stuck thinking when is the right time. Any time you have a topic in hand and the willingness to start is the right time.

For me, it started with journaling and helping my friends with article writing. Anything can be a trigger.

  1. Find your NICHE

The thing you are best in is always around you. Find this thing and work on it and share it with the world.

  1. READ MORE

A great writer is also a great reader.
Yes, It's hard to create value with writing without reading. Build a reading habit to write better.

  1. Your Writing Is Your Reflection.

You are unique, your style is unique, your expressions are unique, your writing will be unique too. Your writing style is a reflection of who you are.

Be AUTHENTIC. Inspiration is ok but No need to borrow the style.

  1. Be CONSISTENT

To become great at it or build a career around it, you need to translate the Hobby into a Habit.

You do it by putting yourself on a roadmap like 1 article a week for a month! I would suggest reading ATOMIC HABITS, it focuses on building small habits but they have a big cumulative effect in the long term and takes you to the success.

Rahul, authentic style is important 👍 but don’t forget about proofreading as well 😉 it’s important to let reader flow through the text and don’t get stuck with some annoying typos or formatting quirks
