I've been blogging for a while now, most importantly, I've tried other
jobs as well so I've been able to make a good comparison. Here are a few (of the thousand) advantages of blogging over other jobs
Age Restriction
We
all know that someone can't continue doing all kinds of work when old.
Take engineering for instance. How can an old man handle car engines ?
Or tailoring. People (especially the younger generation) wouldn't want
to patronize this guy cause they think he's probably too old and they'll
get the impression that he's off-trend.
Blogging however is
different. Blogging isn't a hard job to do and most people don't even
know the owners of websites they visit. So age is an advantage of
blogging over many other jobs.
I'm just in my early twenties I run this blogs www.iap.com.ng and www.jooesworld.blogspot.com.com so it's not really a matter of age
Limit of creativity
Sorry
tailors but i want to use you guys as an example again. Tailoring, as
we all know, is a profession that is almost fully reliant on creativity.
However, when some people are too creative, they may be ridiculed.
A close example is this :
When
people decide to use a color of thread on a cloth with a different
color or people who put zips in awkward places . You see? Even if
tailoring is creativity, it's not all the time that it'll require it .
Blogging however, is different. Bloggers all know that it's their site,
it's their rules'. For most blog visitors, if they're not comfortable
with how a site operates, they have no option than to leave.
Immobility
Blogging
is better than almost all professions for this reason. Bloggers are
able to change locations freely and at will. A school owner and a pastor
would be afraid cause they may loose all their members if they change
locations. Bloggers can change locations at will and even if they want
to change their website, they only need to automatically redirect
visitors from the previous website to the new one.
Exposure
The
world is made up of billions of people. Other professions find it
harder to reach a large amount of people but bloggers(no matter what
they blog about), get visitors from different countries. Even if they
blog about news in Nigeria, they'll still get visitors from around the
globe.
Passion
Blogging is about passion and what you
like. You can't be a painter and paint houses a color just cause you
love that color neither can you be a tailor and always sew elastic
waistband cause you love them.
When you're into other
professions, every time you have to act in harmony with what your
customers want. In blogging however, it's the other way around. It's
what you blog about that will bring people. If you love nature, you'll
blog about it and people who love nature would visit your site. That's
just how it is.
