[John Michelson]

Keyword research is helpful for most blogs because it helps people find your posts. If you write just for fun or only for a small private group, it’s not needed. But for public blogs wanting more readers, keyword research usually makes a big difference.

If your goal is for people to find your blog through search engines or social media, then keyword research is important.

Keywords are the terms people use to search for products or services.

But if you are writing only for yourself or as a hobby, then it’s not necessary.

I always do keyword research for blogs aimed at traffic and growth it guides content and boosts SEO. But for personal journals, storytelling, or niche passion blogs where audience size isn’t the goal, deep keyword research isn’t as crucial. It depends on your purpose: if you want readers, research; if it’s just for yourself, you can skip it.

Writing for yourself also requires appreciation in some form.

I usually do keyword research first – it makes a huge difference in long-term traffic. Tools like Semrush are great for spotting what people actually search for. The only time I skip it is for personal or hobby blogs where SEO isn’t the main goal.

Not always For most blogs, keyword research helps you rank and get steady traffic. But if it’s a personal blog, diary-style posts, or passion projects where SEO isn’t the main goal, you don’t really need it — you can just write freely.
