Blogging For Creativity Purposes

blogging-creativity.jpgThis post was written by Monika Mundell

When we talk about blogging in the circles we step, this often involves a blog that has been created to make money for the blogger itself. Since this is way easier said than done, many bloggers get discouraged by the whole process and stop altogether.

What a pity, since these bloggers could get so much more out of their blogging by using a blog as a creative tool.

Since when has blogging become a drag?

Seriously, I see it more often than not that bloggers lack inspiration because of the social pressures we put onto ourselves. We stress about traffic, page rank, content, ads and god knows what else, instead of using a natural approach and just go with the flow.

I am convinced that if we let our blog evolve naturally, it will become a much bigger force in the future. Plus we still have fun blogging.

Putting pressure onto us is never going to cut it for the long term.

So how do you blog creatively?

How about blogging about your journey in life? You could capture memorable moments in your life including photos, videos and even interviews with your grandmother and grandfather. Imagine the timeless treasure you will create that can be shared with your whole family, even your children one day.

While they never met your grandparents, your blog will allow them to leave a standing legacy for centuries to come. Or at least as long as the Internet and the world exist.

Get inspired

You can easily get inspired by using your special gift as a starting point. We are all gifted in some ways. For some it might be that they are especially good at painting, others are great at singing, playing an instrument, creating needlework and more.

Each of these talents form an ideal base to start a blog about. As you evolve in your creative niche, so will your blog. Since you are passionate about what you do, blogging about it will come more naturally too.

You are allowed to indulge your inner child

Remember when you were a child? Did you worry about time lines, money or whether something is going to work at all? I bet you didn’t.

As children we simply do – without the ulterior worry, motive or thought.

Life is simple.

Go back to that place every so often and doodle, play and indulge yourself.

Have fun.

      Thanks! The post with details is already scheduled :D

      Great plugin and 2.0 version makes it one of the top “must have” plugins for WordPress in my opinion.

    Very interesting post. I believe too many people get discouraged with blogging especially if they are doing it to “Make money.” Anyone wanting to make money using a blog needs to build a list of people that may be potential buyers for what ever it is they are selling. If all bloggers keep this in mond, they will be rewarded daily and find it easier to blog more.

      Joe,

      Yep, that and writing on topic you actually know something about. While it seem like a natural to start blogging about making money blogging (after all John Chow makes nice income doing it) – I think it is one topic where people fail the most …

      Take for example this blog – while I do talk about earning with your blog in my posts I tend to stay away from my earnings and concentrate the core info on Tips and Guides for WordPress bloggers. Because I share freely here what I know and learn as I go – I tend to get rewarded by readers. People buy what they need through one of the many affiliate links on this site and we all benefit … they get a useful tool or product directly related to info I share, I get commissions to continue sharing same type of info.

      Simple concept – share what you know and you will get rewarded :D

      Alex
