Every now and again people ask me if they should just give up on blogging, since we are now firmly in the age of social media.

It is an understandable question since building a social media account is a full time job and time is a rare commodity.

It is also frustrating on a number of levels, the least one being that we own our blogs unlike the accounts we “have” on social media.

Of course, owning a blog doesn’t mean that we do not have to deal with outside influences like the the dreaded google sandbox for example, but our blogs enables us to be in control of our content.

Imagine for a moment the nightmare if you found yourself one morning realizing that your beloved social media account, the one responsible for such large chunk of your income had disappeared! What would you do then?

And if you think I am exaggerating, think Myspace, a platform I had personally been very active on, and built a huge audience with until the platform collapsed.

So no, you should not giving up on blogging.  Here are some of the reasons:

????Blogging is the most stable form of SEO
????Blogging creates your own social media hub
????Blogging enables you to build your email list

And more importantly, blogging the right way can drive huge amount of traffic to your website, and if you want to be the beneficiary of that traffic, then should absolutely not neglect it.

In my reel, I have show the stats for the website of one of my students.  If you’ve looked at the reel until the end, then you would have seen that this website ranks in the top 20 of google for just under 5000 keywords.  

That’s a huge amount of traffic.
