There are many reasons why you might want to start a book blog.
The biggest reason of them all? You love reading!
That alone is reason enough to start a book blog as a way to evolve your love of books. But being a book blogger also allows you to transcend being a reader and become something more.
Here are some other compelling reasons to start a book blog this year:
- Share the books you love – With a book blog, you get to share all the joy books bring you through reviewing and showcasing the books and authors on your blog.
- Let your voice be heard – This is a great way to voice your opinion. You can use your blog as an outlet to vent about absolutely anything related to books you’ve read, or maybe one you’re trying to author.
- Build your resume – In addition to giving you a platform and a voice, a book blog will help you build your resume and position you as an expert in your field.
- Improve your writing skills – Yet another amazing benefit of book blogging is that it helps you to improve your writing skills. And remember, just because you’re a book blogger, it doesn’t mean that you can’t occasionally publish stuff on other topics related to writing or other subjects you’re passionate about.
- Join or create a community of like-minded individuals – You know those people who say, ‘I don’t read,’ like it’s actually okay? You never have to deal with them when you’re the creator of a community of avid readers!
- Make money – This is undoubtedly the best part of blogging about books. You get paid to do something that you love so much you’d happily do it for free. It doesn’t get much better than that, does it?
Now that you’re (hopefully) convinced that starting a book blog is the right move (HINT: it is!) Here’s the 10 steps you need to follow to make it happen.
