Are you unemployed and are looking for work? If so, start blogging today! Read on to find out why… Blogging has exploded into the mainstream web over the recent years, with more and more people turning to blogging for a variety of reasons.
The beauty of blogging is that you don’t need a degree or a scholarship to start doing it, you don’t need a huge amount of money either, and more over being unemployed means you have all the time in the world to work on your blog, to some degree.
I certainly wished that I had made the decision to start blogging when I was unemployed for a solid 4 years, back almost 20 years ago, but to be honest the internet had only just started coming to life…
Today, blogging is no longer considered as a pastime online activity, in fact these days blogging is considered to have huge potential in becoming an extremely profitable business venture for many people, and for you too if you know how to do it right, and are prepared to work at it.
Many university and college students that I know have decided to start blogging to help them make some extra money, and even at the end of their studies some are able to sell their blogs for a considerable amount.
So I also think that people that are unemployed and are receiving some kind of allowance for being jobless should also take the opportunity to start a blog.
Blogging whilst being unemployed is a great way to expand your horizons and connect with a whole new community of like minded people online. In this article I’d like to outline 7 good reasons why blogging could benefit you whilst you’re looking for work. Who knows it might even become your full-time work…
7 Reasons Why the Unemployed Should Start Blogging
1. If you have a blog, you’re able to create a compelling ‘about me’ page, as most bloggers use this page to provide their visitors with an insight into their professional background. Your ‘about me’ page will usually outline your experiences, qualifications, skills, ambitions and goals.
You can use your about page as your online resume. You can even link this page to your professional social network profiles such as your LinkedIn and eCademy profiles, should you have one of course.
2. Blogging can help you stay productive whilst building your online portfolio.
Being unemployed can sometimes be pretty boring, I mean you can only search for work for a few hours each day right? The rest of the time you’re playing the waiting game… So blogging can certainly help you remain productive.
3. Blogging can help improve your writing and grammar skills, essential in any line of work, and perfect when writing your letter of application to potential employers.
4. Blogging can help you build new connections and engage with other professional individuals in your industry.
5. Blogging can help you make money through various monetization methods, i.e. AdSense, promoting affiliate products etc.
6. Blogging can help you keep your morals up when feeling distressed and anxious, ensuring that you stay positive and have something to work for, even if you’re not getting paid much initially.
7. You don’t need any qualifications, a scholarship or even much, if any money at all to start blogging.
Being unemployed and searching for work can be a stressful time, I know too well what the feeling is like. You might feel as if that your family and friends look down upon you as if you’ve somehow let them down.
Blogging can be your ultimate road out of being unemployed, but even if it doesn’t it will certainly help you build an awesome online portfolio that might land you that dream job.
So just to recap, here are 7 reasons why being unemployed is the perfect opportunity to start blogging.
- Your ‘About’ page is your resume
- Blogging will help you stay productive
- Blogging will help you hone in on your writing skills
- Blogging helps you to connect with other professionals in your industry
- Blogging can earn you money
- Blogging can help you stay positive
- You don’t need any qualifications or previous experience to start blogging
So if you’re unemployed, start blogging today and start reaping the benefits.
Over to you!
I’d love to hear your thoughts about the points I made above. Perhaps you were once unemployed and turned to blogging to help you build credibility and to stay positive, perhaps blogging paved the way to a full-time career for you. Regardless, do share your reactions and comments below as always.

Couldn’t agree more with you about shafeeq..
Not only can blogging also earn you a little pocket money (to potentially a living) it keeps the mind fresh, i see blogging like those old Dr Kalasomething brain training games, it keeps you writing, social, current and motivates you.
Also, you could learn a little web design a long the way when you branch out past the freebies like blogger & wordpress into actual CMS such as Wordpress, Drupal & Joomla

Back in 2011, I was almost tempted to quit my day job because for almost a year, I was earning twice, sometimes almost thrice, my salary with my blogging and website making. But I was still hesitant, and so I held on to my job. Which, in hindsight, is a wise decision as Google came out later with their crazy algorithm changes which ruined all my chances to continue earning the same income. My sites were not spam sites, and they were personally made, researched, and written by me. My content were not produced automatically by robot apps, or rewrites from someone else’s articles. Yet, it was classified by Google as spam because they all lost their rankings and places in the serps.
Now, I’m just beginning to feel inspired again, after more than a year of hiatus, to get back to blogging. Of course, I’ve yet to find how to bring my post to the top of the serps, which, to me, is the only way to go if I want to monetize them.

I think what Anurag is trying to say is that English is a widely spoken language for many countries, and the truth of it is if you really wanted to attract a large audience to your blog, it would have to be written in English. However there are many blogs that I follow myself that are written in a variety of other languages too.

One main factor in blogging is time. As you pointed out, most unemployed should get into blogging as they have the time to invest in their blogs. With a little studies on how to go about it, they can grow their blogs really quick and this can end up giving them a good job.
Great encouragement for the jobless

Blogging can be a great way to keep yourself busy if you’re not working a 9-5. Its great for exposure and getting the word out about yourself so in a way, you are investing in your future. Plus for a relatively small amount of investment (hosting + domain), you could end up making a good amount of money, there’s actually plenty of other ways beyond AdSense to monetize your blog. Good read!
KevRyan recently posted..Facebook EdgeRank 101
I agree with KevRyan and with your given reasons Fabrizio! Although many of the newbie bloggers will quickly be disapointed when they learn making money online is not that easy because not everyone is cut out for this, I am sure a blog will still help just about anybody as you also mentioned.
Helen recently posted..iPhone 5S will reportedly feature a new touch-on display
Yes. As far as making money is concerned, it’s a struggle initially, unless you’re insanely lucky and/or insanely good with SEO! But blogging is certainly no ‘get-rich-overnight’ thing – it takes a while to get things off the ground but it does happen with patience and perseverance. (Source: personal experience

Fabrizio Van Marciano recently posted..How To Find Your Passion To Blog When Life Is Putting You To The Test
Exactly! The great thing about it is that you can even start off for free, by hosting your blog on the likes of Wordpress or Blogger, instead of going the self-hosted route (even though I personally prefer the latter since it gives you much more control and the ability to earn). If you do go self-hosted, start off with a $10 domain and cheap shared-hosting to keep the cost at a minimum while you’re testing the waters.

Yep, agreed, those two free platforms are great places to start, but like you too I would easily go with self-hosted, even with cheap shared hosting and domain, you can easily make that back with just one affiliate sale per month and have money left over.

Hello
There is a risk with this. Everyone knows making money online is not at all an easy task to do. If they start blogging with a aim to make money, this may hurt them more. They may get really frustrated if they fail to make money. So my suggestion would be- look for job and in leisure time, they can blog.

Hello Sanjib, thanks for your comment. There is a risk with everything in life, furthermore when you’re unemployed. Not making money from blogging or much money should I say, can be no more frustrating than applying for a job, getting through the interview stage, and feeling so positive that you have the job just to get a phone call to say, ‘sorry but on this occasion you’ve not been selected’. Now that is frustrating.
I do agree to some degree that aiming to start a blog shouldn’t be for the purpose of making money, but more over for the 6 other points I’ve pointed out above.

Hi Fabrizio,

All very good points, but I think there should be a very large asterisk next to #5 “Blogging can earn you money”..
Yes, blogging CAN earn you money, but to think one can start paying the bills by blogging is fantasy.
To start making SOME money blogging can take a long time (months, or years), to start making enough money to pay the bills is highly improbable. Just ask 999 out of 1,000 bloggers.
Twitter: vanmarciano
January 9, 2013 at 5:50 PM
Yes Rand indeed and I absolutely agree. Which is why I said CAN make you money and not WILL make you money. You can’t immediately think that blogging will make you the kinds of money that will instantly change your circumstances, however you still have to have a positive mindset and work at it like anything else in this life. Thinking that making money from your blog is fantasy, isn’t really positive thinking…

Great Article and VERY timely. I have been unemployed for 1 year & 8 months after a layoff from a large mortgage company. I started blogging this past summer just to find something to help occupy my time from the job search and being a stay at home mom. In just a brief time it has blossomed. My subscribers are growing every month. I’m writing about things that interest me personally like beauty, fashion, thrift Shopping, goals, fears, and anything I choose. I’m doing sponsored product reviews for major brands, networking on a regular basis and its helping me to narrow down my personal & professional goals.
On top of all of that Ive gained a lot of new skills such as: Wordpress, social media marketing, SEO, Pitching to companies, Photography and more. I never would have imagined doing any of this a few years ago but here I am…and loving it. Now im job hunting with a much larger purpose in mind and I’m determined to land the job that is perfect for me, while knowing that if I should ever get laid off again. I’m not afraid, I have marketable skills.

I had my doubts before reading this, but I agree, writing a blog can be a productive way to spend your time. It can keep your spirits up, but you can’t forget about looking for the next job.

Very informative article. I also agree with you. Thanks for sharing.
I guess staying unemployed for a person who has reached the age of achieving something big is a waste of time. An unemployed person if nothing should start blogging and at least earn his own living. If he has the ability and skills to write great content and promote it effectively, he can become independent.

Hi Fabrizio,
I agreed with your points, You don’t need to acquire any degree to start your own blog. Once you start blogging, you build huge confidence plus you can show your blog in your portfolio. It can easily help you to earn part time and even full time money.

I will definitely say that this is probably more of an advantage to those receiving aid while unemployed. I didn’t have income from unemployment and was able to start a blog but am still in the process of making it all that it can be. It’s definitely something everyone can do, whether for money or just for fun.

Great article! Many times during my blogging workshops I talk about the career opportunities that are available through blogging. Being a successful blogger can open many doors including publishing and speaking opportunities. In fact, Problogger.net’s Darren Rowse’s blogging activities led to a very successful career. And the movie “Julia and Julia” is a true story about a blogger who blogged her way through the “Joy of Cooking” and ended up with a book deal and a movie made about her success. Being a full time blogger is THE perfect job!
Yes you are right. Before one year i did blogging. Because that time i want more money. Finally i got it what i want. So the best way for unemployed people is blogging. Thanks for this post.

Hi,
Excellent post. i think that it is not easy to start a blog for an unemployed person because he is looking for income and blog can not give you income or earning from very first day.
He can start blog in his part time but it would be better to start a blog when you have some side income.
Thank you

Hi,
This great tips for unemployed people. however, you do not have to be unemployed before you start blogging. I started blogging when I decided to be a stay at home mum and believe me it all worth it. Do you want to know why? not I am a millionaire through blogging but I am enjoying every minutes of life with my kids.

great idea should have done more of it when I was out would have cut down on the daydreaming
Blogging can give you money, fame, contacts, followers, and a lot more. If your are sitting at home jobless with nothing at all to do, you can choose to blog. In case, you are not a good writer, you can hire writer or freelancers and get articles written from them. It becomes a good source to earn from home.

It is great to blog if you have a lot of free time, in other words you have no job, but the bills will come sooner or later. That is a drawback of this otherwise great job. Sure you can start making money, but it’s not going to be overnight.

Great article! I want to say something about the financial aspect of blogging and the simplest ad approach which probably is not effective enough. Professional blogging could seem lucrative but nowadays you need very strong blog (above 25-30k impressions daily) and sophisticated monetization approach if you want to make more than pocket money. As of this month things seem to get worse. Take Adsense for example – CTR gets lower because of this Adblock thing then you have the crisis and then you have the stupid ads which don’t get clicks and pay minimum for impressions. So be prepared – it won’t be easy!

Thank you so much for this interesting article. I know how it feels when your unemployed and everybody looks down on you, because you don’t have a job. When i was unemployed last year, it really helped me a lot to write down, what i felt and what i was thinking. This time was a lesson to me and this article confirms what i think!

I am very proud to say that I have talked a total of 12 unemployed people into taking up blogging and they now earn money from this medium.
At first I suggested it as a way of passing the time and then when I saw they had a talent for it I encouraged them to make money with their blogs. They don’t make loads of money but they certainly do alright, some of them better than me!

Hi Dean that’s absolutely awesome, well done. I’ve managed to talk a few friends and my brother to take up blogging whilst they too were unemployed, but none of them pursued with it for long and got back into full time work. But you’re doing a great job getting unemployed people into blogging.

Blogging is the best field for the unemployed and educated to deal with. It saves their time by being productive and lets them make some income. Moreover, blogging lets us improve our writing, reading skills and these skills are too much helpful for a job in an official company.

Like Blogging improves writing skills and grammar etc. I am a Student and I read your post in two ways. 1) Why unemployed people should blog and 2) Benefits of blogging for students. Thank you so much.

Thanks Samuel, glad you enjoyed the post. Yes think about it, you could construct the most appealing about page and use it as a professional resume almost. A lot of bloggers use their about page to write what their blog’s about and that’s about it. But there are ample opportunities to make this page the most striking page on your blog, especially to potential employers. Have a good day mate.

G0od summary of the benefits of blogging during periods of unemployment. The only thing I’d add to your list is that it gives you a good answer to the the interview question “How have you been spending your time while unemployed?” Even if the question isn’t asked, you can always weave it into the conversation. If presented properly, developing and maintaining your own blog makes you appear industrious, resourceful, and productive.
