Pros of
Blogging
|
Cons of Blogging
|
|
The ability to be “social”
without having to physically interact with anyone.
|
Having to actually make contact with other
people in order to be “social” and not knowing what to say.
|
|
The opportunity to
get my work out to the world.
|
Strangers actually reading my work and
possibly hating it.
|
|
Free books. Hello!
|
Tight deadlines to read those free books
in order to continue getting free books.
|
|
Connecting with an
author’s work that I really admire
|
The awkward conversation with an author
when I didn’t really like their work and I didn’t give them a good review
|
|
Having a schedule
to adhere to every day
|
Having a schedule to adhere to every day
|
|
Learning a new
skill (blogging, blog design)
|
Feeling like an idiot when you still can’t
figure out why your HTML isn’t working and your SEO isn’t up to par
|
|
Being a part of a
community of book bloggers who can share the love of all things books
|
Wishing some bloggers in the community of
book bloggers would spill coffee on that new ARC they got that you’ve been
trying for weeks to get and have yet to get a response or been denied for
|
|
Being able to
expand my reading world to genres and books that I wouldn’t have necessarily
have read otherwise
|
Having a TBR list so long that when I die
there will still be 200 books left waiting for a review. (Can you leave a
review blog to someone in your will? Congratulations, Tiny Tyrant, all of
these books need to be reviewed by tomorrow!)
|
|
The sense of pride
when your follower numbers go up and your page views continue to climb
|
The awkward conversation you have with
family members who don’t “get” what you do
|
|
The ability to
promote my book
|
Feeling as if I’m annoying people with my
book promotion
|
|
Discovering books
before they’re made into movies
|
Listening to people talk about the movie
and you silently judge them because you know the book was better and they are
ruining the story by supporting the movie
