To Blog or Not To Blog

At the beginning of our venture, many people asked, Why did you start blogging? What is your goal? What do you want to accomplish? The questions were endless.

Let me start by telling you how we got started. At the beginning of the pandemic, my wife and I were working from home. With nowhere else to go, we had a lot of time on our hands. One day we were both sitting on the couch and watching television. Suddenly, my wife jumps up and says, "I am so bored; let's make a food video." I was like, "WHAT!" She was adamant, and so we made our first food video. My wife is a doer and a perfectionist. Rapidly, it went from making videos, writing for a blog, and working on self-promotion. She had the time and put a lot of effort into getting everything set up and going in a matter of days. For us, blogging has taken passion, experience, and a reason to do it.

Passion

Our passions are very different. My passion is cooking, creating new dishes, and food fusion. My goal or what I hope to accomplish is to share my knowledge and help others follow their culinary passions. My wife's passion is reading, writing, crafting, and she is very technology savvy. Together we complement each other and make an outstanding team.

Experience

Expertise and experience have nothing to do with each other. I have plenty of culinary experience but do not claim to be an expert in any way. I look up to others and give credit where credit is due. On our blog, I share my recipes, experience, thoughts, and knowledge. Blogging is writing about all these things. We are open to feedback and constructive criticism and feel that it makes us better.

Reason For Blogging

There are many reasons that people blog. It may be for supplemental income, interacting with a particular community, business promotion, or self-promotion. Blogging for us is about self-promotion. Our food videos led to starting a YouTube channel. Our blog now serves as a way to self promote our channel and all of our creativity.

If you are wondering whether to begin a blog or not, I recommend you do. It's a great hobby, a great way to express your thoughts and share your knowledge with the world, and a fantastic way to promote your creativity. It is also an excellent way to meet and interact with fascinating people all over the world. I highly encourage you to give it a try. All and all, it is so much fun!
