How many times has a simple thought of you being gone from this earth bothered you?
What will happen if you die young? Will the world stop functioning even for a second?
How many times do you get a feeling of doing something out of your league so that people will remember you even when you’re gone from this planet.
How many times have you thought of documenting your life?
I know you want to be remembered.
I know you want to leave your marks on this earth. Telling people about your existence, that you lived on this planet once. And here is the proof of that.
Seriously, How many times
Is that because you do not feel your importance or you think that
Is it because you are scared of failing that people will make fun of you or your ambitions (which is pretty normal stuff)?
Here’s the thing:
When I speak of my dreams and desires with other people they do make fun of it. Not because I lack the potential to accomplish that dream but because of their low self-esteem and low-confidence.
When people cannot do something they don’t want you to do it either. That is how the world works. And that is why they make fun of you and demoralize you.
They try to make you weak so that you too can’t achieve it. But, dare you if you let those idiots win. Because you don’t have a choice. You gotta do it anyway.

Take a closer look and you will find the free domain option.
The only drawback with a free plan is that you do not own your blog entirely. You domain name will be like befoodaficionado.wordpress.com. And I’m totally against that.

Blogging Can Provide You Freedom From 9 to 6 Jobs
There are millionaire bloggers out there. Living a free life. No baggage of getting up early, going to the job and then serving them for straight 7-8 hours (sometimes 12-14).
They have earned their freedom to wake up in Hawaii, sipping tea in a beachside cottage with a lovely partner talking about their next travel destination.
They are living their dream life. They have achieved their financial freedom early in their lives.
This is only possible if you can learn to turn your passion into an income. Watch this short video and understand what Gary is trying to tell:
You can have all the riches you want. There is only one thing stopping you from achieving it and that thing is YOU.
Stop yourself from stopping yourself and you will win it.

How can blogging provide you freedom?
Blogging is not just about writing articles, blogging is a platform to reach the right people. It is a platform to attract the right opportunities that will take you closer to your life goals.
In today’s world, you do not need expensive advertisements and portfolio managers to make you stand out from the crowd. You have the power of the Internet
One Viral post and your life will change.
Let me explain you by giving a real life example:
If you are a great cook and you work as a software engineer or a tester in an MNC, it doesn’t mean you cannot pursue your career as a cook. In fact, you are more than capable of pursuing it now.
You have a settled job and now you do not have to worry about your living. I know you get all this by trading your time but finally, you are free to pursue anything without worrying about your livelihood. For me
You can join a side course to learn cooking the right way (if you know what I mean).
You can utilize your extra-time (weekends) to learn a new skill and cement your foundation. Make your foundation stronger and stronger.
Once you are confident to start your own little side business, go online and create a website. This is the time you need clients and there is no better way to attract clients than a blog.
So, if you have the passion to grow beyond a paycheck then this is your chance. I’m here to give you a fully functioning blog. But hey, you must look at your blog as a business and that is the only way to succeed.
You will have to make investments and put your time, mind and heart into it. That is the only way to become rich.

This is the best time to Start a Blog
Some people say that the blog is an over populated market. But they miss to see the opportunity.
Over populated markets are the places that sells the most.
Ask yourself this really simple question:
