3 Signs You Should NOT Start a Blog in 2025
Ok, so I'm a blogger, marketer, ex Editor in Chief and earn well from blogging... still in the age of AI.
But, honestly, let's get to the meat and potatoes in your head for a moment.
Everyone’s out here telling you why you should NOT start a blog... AI and all that malarkey...
But the truth isn't that... AI isn't your barrier.
Blogging just isn’t for everyone, and that’s fine.
So, here are my 3 signs you should look for to absolutely NOT start a blog:
- You’re Just Looking For Easy Money
You saw some flashy ass guru on YouTube saying blogging is passive income on steroids... and AI made it easier.
Newsflash: it’s not.
Blogging is hard, upfront grind. If you’re allergic to patience and think money will start raining on you in the first month, save yourself the heartbreak.
Blogging is more marathon, less lucky lottery ticket.
- You Hate Writing (or Learning)
Yeah, I know, AI can help, but it won’t magically turn you into someone who loves creating content.
If you hate the thought of writing a 1,500-word article or tweaking it to rank on Google, blogging is going to feel like slow torture... seriously pull your toe nails instead.
And if you’re not willing to learn SEO, strategy, or how to engage with readers? Forget it.
- You Have Zero Patience
If waiting six months (or longer) for decent traffic sounds like a nightmare, don’t even start.
Blogging isn’t a "post it and they’ll come" deal... this isn't a Kevin Costner movie (that should give you an idea of my age lol).
You’ll need consistency, smart strategies, diversification and time.
Lots of it.
The world doesn’t care that you launched a blog... so, you’ve gotta work your ass off to make them care.
Look, I’m not here to crush dreams.
If you’re serious about this, awesome...
You’ve already dodged most people’s mistakes just by being realistic.
But if any of these hit too close to home?
Skip the blog and do something else that actually fits your personality.
Peace.
