10 Things I’ve Learned from Blogging by Frank Viola

This post is just the tip of the iceberg on this subject. For much more, check out THE BUZZ SEMINAR where Frank and his partners drill down deep on the principles of blogging and authoring books and how to earn an income from your writing passion.

I’ve been blogging since June of 2008. Since then, I’ve written over 700 posts.

I remember as far back as 2001, some of my friends encouraged me to start a blog. And I kept saying to them, “I don’t have the time.”

Well, I didn’t . . . and I still don’t. But here I am, blogging. (If I could explain the above sentence to you, I’d be three-fold a Solomon.)

So here’s my list.

1. Blogging allows me to pre-test my ideas and writing.

2. Blogging allows my readers to get to know me better.

3. Blogging helps me clarify my thoughts on a particular topic.

4. Blogging gives me a way to engage my readers beyond my books and podcast.

5. Blogging has made my ministry more visible and far-reaching.

6. Blogging gives me a sounding board for future ideas and projects.

7. Blogging gives me a venue to push the limits on the blogosphere by experimenting with various innovations.

Examples: the one word monologue – the two word monologue – the $25,000 give-away

8. Blogging gives me a venue for showing how all of my work is tied together.

9. Blogging has helped me answer my critics with the graciousness of Christ.

10. Blogging gives me an opportunity to learn from others.
