Now, let's dive into today's topic: five benefits of starting a blog.

1. Centralizes Your Wealth of Experience

Starting a blog helps you collate your wealth of experience. It centralizes it, making it handy. Sometimes, you may not even know how good you are in a subject matter until you start blogging. The topics are almost infinite, and the more you address each one, the more you'll learn.

2. Contributes to the Body of Knowledge

As a blogger, you're adding your own contribution to the body of knowledge.

3. Easy to Write Books

Blogging makes it easy to write books. If you're a blogger and don't have a book to your credit, I wonder what you're doing. You can't be turning out 1,500 words every day or 10,000 words every week without having a book. Write a book addressing a situation or issue of concern.

4. Gives You Relevance in Society

Blogging gives you relevance in society. You can't contribute positively and address issues of concern without being recognized. It's a way to gain recognition.

5. Another Way of Income

Blogging is another way of generating income.

Additional Benefits:

Other benefits of blogging include:

Immortalizing yourself through your blog

Gaining exposure and recognition

Winning awards and nominations

Earning foreign income through book sales on platforms like Amazon.

How to Boost Your Blog Traffic with These 2 Simple Tips

What I'm about to share with you will change everything about blogging. If you're a blogger and you're interested in taking your blog to the next level, please pay close attention to what I'm about to share.

Discover how adding relevant images and compressing them can skyrocket your blog views. Learn from my experiment and optimize your blog posts for maximum engagement and SEO.

So, let's get back to the topic for today. Did you know that the number of views your blog can possibly generate can skyrocket if, and only if, you add relevant images to your blog post?

I did an experiment. I made a post without adding any images and studied it for a few weeks. Then, I made a similar post, but this time, I added images. The result was extraordinary - the post with images did far better than the one without.

These posts were all SEO-optimized, which confirms that adding clear, attractive images can guarantee increased organic traffic and views for your page or post.

 You know you can do general blog optimization and page or post optimization. Part of the optimization techniques you should consider is using images.

Please avoid using copyrighted images or images with watermarks. When you use clear images for your blog post, you'll definitely get more views, and your post will rank higher.

If you've observed, Google News and some news platforms like Phoenix Browser often feature posts with compelling images. Even if you're not interested in reading the post, the image will attract you. That's the power of adding images to your post.

So, please take note: adding images to posts guarantees more views.

Now, the second thing you need to know is how to compress your images. Some images are in 4D, 4HD, or 4K resolution and can be very heavy. One thing that will help your blog perform well is when it loads quickly.

If your blog takes too long to load, users can get discouraged. Image compression helps reduce image sizes from 10MB to 1MB while maintaining quality.

One recommended app for compressing images is CapCut. Download CapCut on your mobile phone, upload the image, adjust and edit it, then export it. You can also remove image backgrounds.

When you export the image, it will be in kilobytes. 

Adding two or three images to your post won't increase the post size significantly (maximum 1-2MB). This helps your post load faster on any blogging platform (Blogger, WordPress, or self-hosted blogs).

That's it for image compression and the importance of adding images to your blog post. I hope you gained value from this video. If this is your first time on my channel, please subscribe, hit the bell icon, and don't forget to leave your feedback, comments, and suggestions in the comment section.
