People blog for a variety of reasons such as documenting their transition from land life to cruising, sharing technical tips and tricks, recounting their adventures and misadventures, helping others who may follow in their footsteps, and staying connected to friends and family.
Many people are inspired by reading all of the wonderful sailing and cruising blogs out there and want to start blogging themselves, but don't know where to start. Other more experienced bloggers want to take their blog to the next level - perhaps by monetizing their blog, better leveraging social media, increasing their number of followers etc. - but aren't sure how to go about it.
That's where you come in. If you have a blog post about any aspect of blogging, we'd love to share it. For example - What tips and tricks do you have for a newbie blogger? What do you enjoy about blogging? How does blogging help add to your cruising kitty? Why do you blog? What's worked and what hasn't worked for you? How do you use social media to promote your blog? Add a link to your blog post in the comments bbelow.
To give you some food for thought, here are a couple of posts about blogging from Ellen at The Cynical Sailor:
