When I think and talk about the term, “Lifestyle Blogging,” I am specifically talking about blogging as a part of your daily lifestyle, your daily routine. Now I am aware that other people may call it something different, but for me, I’m referring to blogging about what people do as a natural part of their daily lives. This can include things like:

Research (Googling)

Cooking (developing meal plans, tweaking recipes)

Remodeling (DIY home projects)

Fitness (working out, eating healthy)

Cars (restoration, purchasing, etc.)

Just about anything you can think of that you do on a daily basis can be done as a lifestyle blogger. For instance, for me, every day I look forward to two things:

1. Working out, either outside or at the gym, and

2. Working on my passive income business ideas

Now although I’ve freelanced for years as a business writer, I’ve come to completely enjoy writing about my lifestyle and the things that interest me. I’ve been steadily on this journey since 2009, and no matter how many freelance clients I’m managing, I always, ALWAYS come back to my lifestyle interests when I’m in between clients. It was after a few years and a few clients later that I started noticing this trend that was developing. I absolutely love writing, researching, digging, experimenting and figuring out things related to the two things that I love.

I’ve tried to separate my passion from practical application, as in doing something that will bring me a solid income as opposed to writing from my passions. But no matter what, I would always find myself daydreaming about my passions and spending hours and hours Googling and YouTubing stuff related to either health and fitness or passive income. The “do what you love and the money will follow” is a true statement.

As I started noticing that I was spending SO much time on these interests, it only made sense that I should direct my passions towards these things. After all, how could I NOT do that when I could easily spend 4 hours solid on YouTube researching about my 4c natural hair and the science behind it? Yes, that really happened.

So as a lifestyle blogger, talking about the things that interest me are so very easy to do. And, making money by doing it is even easier because I’m doing what I love. It’s like the frustration you feel when you have to do something as opposed to when you want to do something.

Blogging as my lifestyle is not hard at all, and nor should it be for you. You should enjoy what you do and do it with all that you have. Determine that you want to monetize it as a business, and you’re set. If you decide to follow me on this journey, I’ll share with you my tips and knowledge so that we’re all successful.
