Frequently Asked Questions

What should I look for in a good blog?

Look for a distinct voice and consistent updates. The best bloggers share both wins and failures honestly. They write like they're talking to a friend, not pitching a product.

How do bloggers earn money?

Most use a mix of affiliate links, sponsored posts, digital products (like ebooks or courses), and coaching services. The bloggers on this list are transparent about partnerships and only recommend things they actually use.

How often do bloggers post?

It varies. Some post weekly, others monthly. Consistency matters more than frequency. A thoughtful post once a month beats rushed content every day.

Why read blogs when there's social media?

Blogs go deeper. A 1,000-word essay gives you context and nuance that a tweet or reel can't. Plus, you're not fighting an algorithm to see updates.
