Let’s address the elephant in the room: “Is blogging still a thing?”
YES. It’s not dead. It just put on glasses, learned SEO, and started making money while sipping oat milk lattes. ☕
In fact, blogging is still one of the most powerful and beginner-friendly ways to grow your brand, build authority, and make moolah—whether you’re selling products, services, or just really passionate about alpaca farming.
So, What Is Blogging in 2025?
Blogging is sharing valuable, helpful, entertaining, or opinionated content on your own website (or platform) in a way that connects with readers—and gets you traffic, leads, and conversions.
It’s like giving advice to your digital besties, only this time, your advice could earn you cash.
Types of Blogs You Can Start
Blogging isn’t just “dear diary” stuff anymore. You can blog about:
- How-to guides (“How to Cook Pasta Like a Nonna” 🍝)
- Product reviews & comparisons
- Listicles (“10 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting My Business”)
- Personal stories that inspire or teach
- Case studies & tutorials
Whether you’re into travel, tech, parenting, or productivity—there’s a blog niche for you.
Why Blogging Is Still a Goldmine (Even if You’re Late to the Party)
Blogging gives you:
- Authority – Be the go-to voice in your niche
- Organic traffic – Blogs show up in Google searches!
- Content for days – You can repurpose blog content for socials and emails
- Monetization – Through ads, affiliate links, digital products, coaching… the list goes on
You create once, and it works for you forever (or until the internet explodes).
How to Start Blogging (Without Crying) 😅
- Pick your niche – Don’t blog about “everything.” Start with one topic you love + people search for.
- Get a website – WordPress, Wix, or Ghost—whatever feels comfy.
- Write valuable content – Focus on helping, not just talking.
- Learn basic SEO – Just enough to make Google smile.
- Share your blog – On social media, in emails, on Reddit, to your mom.
🧠 Pro tip: Answer real questions people are Googling. That’s how they find you. (And then they never leave.)

Blogging is like planting little seeds across the internet. Some bloom fast, some take time—but eventually, you grow a digital garden that feeds your brand, your wallet, and your soul.
