21 Most Inspirational And Biggest Benefits Of Blogging

There was a time when there was nothing called a 'Blog'. Today, there are thousands of them being created everyday. Some create it just because they want to see what happens after they click 'Create Blog', some create it just for fun, some do it for serious purpose, and so on.



As I would not want you to imagine the things which people consider while starting their blog, I have compiled a list of 21 most inspirational and biggest benefits of having a blog. Here they are:

1. Becoming Good Writer : Many of us start blogging without having good hand with writing (including me). After spending several months writing blog posts, the blogger actually finds himself becoming better and better in his writing.

2. Sharing Knowledge : I have seen people having a good specific knowledge which is not known to many people. Many bloggers create their blog for the purpose of sharing their knowledge. Cooking Blogs, Blogs on Expert advise, can be taken as an example for this.

3. Big Influence : With good content, you develop a good loyal base of readers. Once you have it, you have people who respect and follow you.

4. Becoming Expert : It may all start with a well known information, but not many people reach the level of expertise. Just by writing on 'Make A Living Writing' does not this blog a successful blog. I have to keep posting things which will be helpful for all of yous, plus will be something which you can find nowhere else. That's becoming an expert. Once you are an expert, you realize the benefits.

5. Networking : Believe it or not, network is something which we all wants to grow bigger and better. 

6. SEO Improvement : With good content, you improve the SEO for your blog.

7. Build Email Base : Almost all of us check the emails daily and that's what makes emails as the best option to communicate. Having a lot of readers and comments and loyal base, gives you access to a lot of email IDs. You can communicate your relevant things to your readers via email. Do not SPAM.

8. Knowledge Base : You may not be having enough knowledge on what you are writing your blog on, but being regular to what you are writing, you ultimately gain knowledge of your subject.

9. Sell Your Product : Create a virtual store or link on the side of your blog and get your sales.

10. Start A New Business : Your blog which was created just for fun may turn into a new business tomorrow. I personally know many bloggers who started blogging just for fun for few hours in a week, but they are now writing full time making it their business. They are making $1000-$5000 a month easily.

11. Champion Researcher : That's something I just realized. I have been blogging since last 5 years on various blogs and I can promise one thing for sure. Be it anything you want, I can get it researched for you. That's what blogging made me.

12. Increased Creativity : Imagine yourself eating same food everyday. Same thing happens with your readers when you post your blog with similar content or tone. Keep surprising your readers with something out of the box. Regular bloggers generate this benefit,.

13. Making Money Through Advertisement Revenue : Google Adsense, Clicksor, many more. You can see my old post on 36 Best Websites For Revenue Generation 

14. Social Sharing : Your website or Facebook Page or any other link will start getting more traffic if you have it linked to your popular blog.

15. Fame Game : Who will not like to become famous guy? If you are good at what you do, you can expect a big queue for your views always. People will start seeking advise and guidance from you.

16. Business Ventures : Do expect other business opportunities coming in for tie-up or merger or something even better.

17. Understand Your Readers : As you keep blogging and start tracking the comments, traffic sources, social shares, etc, you will understand what your readers are actually looking for (if you do not have it yet on your blog). Realizing that, you can keep them more engaged and loyal by giving them what they want.

18. Better Social Shares : If you have a fan page on Facebook or Twitter, then sharing quality content and links will definitely help you building better platforms on Facebook and Twitter, after all they are not there only for your stupid messages and personal photographs.

19. More And More Writing : The more you write, The more you write. Confusing? It is just like any other thing you are indulged in. If you will write a lot, you will actually end up writing more and more and will ultimately love it.

20. Inspire Others : People who have been following you, will definitely want to start something what you did. It will inspire many people to start posting quality content.

21. Satisfy Yourself : I write to satisfy myself. I always wanted to be more on a social side than on preaching side. That is the only reason why Make A Living Writing came into existence.



Though I have mentioned 21 Biggest Benefits of Blogging, I would still want to request each one of you to mention more. It can be anything, just post it in the comment.

31 Best (And Free) Places To Effectively Promote Your Website Or Blog or Link

One thing I am going to promise in the beginning of this post that every post in the Make A Living Writing Blog is going to change the way you look at WRITING. For best results, I would recommend you to have a look at every post on the blog and see what it can give you.



Each of us, who is having a website or a blog, is looking for more and more traffic. Getting traffic might be little easy because all it needs is some spam link and some stupid promotional strategies, but getting a good traffic takes some time. All of you who are reading this post is what I call a good visitor.

Today, I am going to share with you 31 free best places to effectively promote your website or blog. Here we go:

3. Digg
4. Reddit
7. DMOZ
10. Amfibi
15. So Much
18. Tagza
19. Diigo
22. Google
23. Bing
24. Yahoo
28. Buzzle


There are many more effective free websites in the genres of the websites mentioned above. I would have posted one thousand links here, but it will not do much good to you. I would request you to Google Search 'Websites like <website name>' and you will be having a good list in front of you. 

I know that it is not very easy to reach the places where you want to, but it is very much possible. I have started Make A Living Writing some three months back and have started getting quality readers including you. All matters is quality, not quantity.

My next blog will be having a huge list of 'Article Submission Websites', really huge. What are those websites going to do to your website or blog or link? I say, "Wonders".

Stay connected and I will help you create some real magic to your website.

10+ Best Websites To Sell Your Articles On

Many of my writer friends have been writing articles for last 5+ years. Apart from having a lot of experience and expertise in their writing niche, what they have is thousands of unused articles. These articles have never been read by anyone, they are just taking some space in the hard disk. 

I understand that fact that not everyone can use everything they are writing about. Some people just don't know anything, some just don't want to make any efforts, some are able to use some of those unused articles.


How about listing some very useful websites where you can sell your unused articles? Yes, straight away selling your articles, I am not talking about posting it somewhere and making money by getting views on it. Let's get to the point and see where you can sell the articles:

1. Constant Content - A great platform to sell all that you have not been using. There are plenty of buyers on Constant Content who are always looking for the articles which best fits their requirement. All you need is to post your articles, use good keywords, and get the sale.

2. Fiverr - Fiverr?? Really? You can create various gigs on your article niche and sell it on fiverr. There are thousands of buyers who would love to buy a relevant article at just $5. Though there are several other websites like fiverr which also provide the same service, but there is nothing effective than fiverr. 

3. Own Blog/Website - You can create a list of articles (titles) and post it somewhere on your website or blog. This works great when you have good number of visitors on your website. It will  be an add on if you can mention the price so as to help the client taking the decision immediately.

4. Craigslist/Locanto/Other Classifieds - I know it sounds lame and down the level to post on classifieds about selling your articles, but trust me it helps. This works best when you have less cost articles to sell. 

5. Article Sale - Article Sale is another website which works similar to Constant Content. Just create an account and sell your articles.

6. Elance or Odesk - Another good option where you can sell your articles. You can go with a common post for all your articles, or be specific to an article in each post. There are thousands of buyers who are always looking to get things done there. If your work fits their requirements, you get a sale.

7. Daily Article - Here is another marketplace where you can sell your articles.

8. Forums - If you are a person who would not mind posting on various forum discussions, it is going to work better for you. There are two things you can do here. First, you can share the links of your posts on other websites regarding selling the articles. Second, you can mention what you want to sell and see if anyone there is interested.

9. Freelancer - Freelance works on the same platform like Odesk and Elance. It is also effective in helping you selling the articles.

10. Facebook/Twitter/Other Social Networking Sites - Another awesome place to sell your articles. Just share the links/posts about your articles and see if anyone of your friends (friends of friends, others) show their interest.


I have always been able to sell my unused articles using all of these together. If you really want it to be effective and want to make it happen at the earliest, I would recommend you to try all 10+ websites I mentioned here.

Do post other relevant websites in comments, if you know of anything else.

11 Best Ways To Increase Your Followers On Your Blog or Website

Hope you have been reading every post on this blog. If not, check all right away as you are surely missing a lot of useful and life-changing information.

To be having maximum number of Followers is something which we all would love. I know good bloggers who have been blogging for last 3 years but have less than 10 Followers. Is it because they have poor content on their website/blog? There can  be multiple reasons behind it. Let's discuss 20 best ways to increase your followers on your blog or website.



1. Install 'Follower' : The first thing you need to start getting followers is to install the 'Follower' widget on your blog/website. If you do not have any widget, you will not be getting any followers even after having a lot of loyal readers.

2. Where To Keep : Good that you are able to get a lot of traffic, but still not able to increase the number of followers? One of the most important things here is to decide on the position of your 'Follower' widget. Having the widget at the footer of the blog may not be effective in any way. Having it somewhere towards the top of the blog is always better as readers get to see that they can follow your blog easily.

3. Done, Because Asked : Promoting anything would need you to be shameless (do not spam). It will not be bad to ask people to follow your blog. Many people will follow if they have been asked to do so. There are three ways to do it. One, email or message your known people and ask them to follow your blog. Two, include a sentence on every post towards the end asking people not to forget following your blog. Three, include your blog link and a message in any comment you post on other websites/blogs.

4. Use(ful)less : If your content is useful, people would want to revisit your blog. When they want to come back, they follow your blog. Indulge yourself in providing quality content.

5. Social Sharing Tools : Allow your readers with multiple options to share your blog. The most common ones are tools like Facebook, Twitter, Stumbleupon, Reddit, Email, Pinterest, etc. If your blog/website do not have one, install it right away. When your blog gets shared with maximum people, you have more chances of getting more followers.

6. Do Not Do Everything : I understand that you are trying to be active on multiple social networking platforms. Do not try doing it everywhere and put yourself in a situation where nothing is working. Focus on four or five platforms and keep working till you make it work.

7. Email Signature : Include your blog link in your email signature. That ways, you will be able to share the information with anyone you are sharing with/replying to an email. 

8. Advertise It : If you do not mind spending some dollars on advertising your blog, you might even get good number of followers with the same. Do not forget to target the right audience for your advertisements.

9. Just Updated : There are plenty of readers who would love to stay connected with a blog which is updated on time with a good post frequency. No one would want to stay connected to some dead blog. Keep posting and stay to the schedule.

10. Blog Community : Join blog communities. This will increase the readers to your blog which will also help in getting increased followers.

11. Last, Not The Least : Keep working on the above mentioned 10 ways to reach a good level. The more you do it, the more followers you will get.

The above ways are surely effective for every single blog/website out there. All you need is to dedicated to it. Happy Blogging :)
