Blogging is like cooking for your family – everyday
Everyday or several times a week a blog post needs to be written.
Everyday you need to cook the evening dinner for your family.
Cooking is a challenge everyday
If you need to cook for your family, you need to have an idea, look for and find the recipe. Buy the ingredients. Then cook the dinner and serve the meal on time as the family expects the meal.
Good there are no dishes to wash if you have a dishwashing machine.
Almost every hour a show will air about cooking giving the necessary ideas for change. Still you can always cook the same dish as 2 weeks ago without receiving a complaint.
It is very challenging to serve a good meal that is being appreciated by your family.
Moreover as your goal is to keep your family together for the dinner, you have to excel over previous dinners.

Out eating – Guest post
Having a guest posting on your blog is like take away food or going out for dinner to a restaurant.
Mothers and bloggers are related
Thus bloggers and mothers (assuming most family cooking is being done by mothers) are related as they both feel the pressure to achieve:
- To feed their family with food.
- To feed their readers with content.
Both require skill: cooking sa kill and a blogging skill.
Still there are big differences:
- Cooking happens at the kitchen at home which is a steady location.
Whereas bloggers can blog from anywhere.
- Cooking limits itself to the family: thus limited reach.
Whereas blogging reaches as far as possible: almost unlimited reach.
- Cooking can become hectic as other events occur.
Whereas blogging has less pressure from other events.
- Once the meal has been eaten and digested it has become history.
Whereas a blog post can live a long life on its’ own.
What skill do you have: cooking or blogging?
