Welcome to episode 40 of CASB.  The podcast for entrepreneurship and personal development.  I strive to provide inspiration to help you succeed in life and in business.  One of the keypoints I emphasize in this Podcast is that you need to start your online business yesterday.  It can ben anything: teaching online, selling in Amazon,  Virtual Assistant.

I  believe blogging is an important part in the life of an online entrepreneur.  In this episode I want to share a few thoughts on why you should start a blog.

This text is is outline of my points.  Please listen to the Podcast for the full presentation.

1. Encourages retrospection
   1. Look back to see what is meaningful to share
   2. Makes you look at your life and find value in it.
   3. Makes you think about other people because you’re not writing for yourself.
2. It helps you not to forget to write new entries
   1. You could lose a paper journal
   2. Knowing that people will be reading it provides more pressure to write.
3. Provides a creative outlet
   1. Writing is creativity
   2. Puts you in control. You decide what to write, when to write and what to write about.
   3. You can add pictures, add links to a video, add a quote. Choices are endless.
4. Gives you a presence in the digital world.
   1. I’ve heard it said “If you don’t have a website you’re nobody”
   2. Don’t think you’re you can remain completely anonymous.  There’s facebook among other sites where other people add your photos.
   3. Why not frame your identity the way you want to be viewed.
5. Help you learn Internet technologies.
   1. Learn WordPress
   2. Learn Hosting company.
   3. Learn about analytics.
