1. You Have a Desire to Have Your Voice Heard
There are all too many blogs out there that exist for the sake of existing. If you want to be considered a true blogger, you need to say something. It could be an idea or an opinion, something broad such as mom and dad bloggers, or something niche, such as writing about van life in your 20s. If you urge to have your opinion and thoughts heard and acknowledged, then this is your first sign that your blog is ready to take flight.
2. You Daydream About Escaping the 9-5
While it’s true that not all bloggers are full-time work-from-home entrepreneurs, the chances are that they’ve all thought about it. If you find yourself wishing away your day job and if the idea of your sole source of income coming from a blog is appealing, then you are ready to start writing! Overnight successes are rare, but the best way to start is to get that first blog post published! Daydream away.
3. You Want to Help Others
A lot of the more successful blogs are helping people in some way by offering advice and counsel or by being informative and instructional. If you desire to help others in your chosen field, then this is a sign that blogging about it could be for you. Blogging in itself is a great feeling, and knowing that you are helping people is truly the icing on the cake.
4. You Enjoy Writing

If you start smiling and your fingers start itching to type, then this is a sign that you are ready to start your blog!
