Here are 10 reasons why I think My English Club is the best place for English learners to blog: 

1. You will have instant readers

If you start a new blog on your own, it will be difficult to get readers. Eventually, readers will come, but it is hard work to attract them. Spammers often ruin the fun. Why not use your energy to write and improve your English instead? We work hard to keep spammers away from MyEC.  We have thousands of members who read the MyEC blog posts and leave comments. In addition, you can instantly share your posts on FB and Twitter from MyEC. 

2. You will make English learning partners

Blogging on EnglishClub.com is a great way to meet other learners. It's easy to make friends when you're blogging. Nobody should study English alone.

3. You will not be judged for your mistakes 

This club is full of English learners and teachers. We will not judge you for your mistakes. We will help correct them if you ask. Use the tag "corrections" if you want help with your writing. We won't fix every word, but we will guide you in your self-study.

4. You can easily add audio, video, and photos

MyEC allows you to embed sound or videos into your blog posts. You can also add pictures (only your own please). There are many tutorials on the site to help you make your blog posts look good. Our members have created them! Many EC bloggers record their blog posts as well. If you have any questions, just ask!

5. You can take blog challenges

If you don't know what to write, don't worry! We have blog challenges that can give you ideas for topics. Use your blog to participate in the monthly writing challenge as well as other weekly challenges, such as Wordless Wednesday.  

6. You can learn from the pros

Many of our MyEC bloggers have been blogging for years. Read other blog posts and find inspiration for topics, formatting, and ideas for gaining more readers. Check out the featured blogs.

7. You have easy access to English help topics

MyEC is the social network of EnglishClub.com. When you are blogging on MyEC you are just a click away from helpful tools (FREE), such as Idiom of the Day, the Grammar Help Desk, the Weekly News (blog about the discussion question), and English Tenses. 

8. You control the privacy settings

Maybe you don't want the whole world to read your writing. On MyEC you can use a fake name or profile picture as long as you are here to learn or teach English. You can also change your settings to private, public, or semi-private (only share with your MyEC friends). Note: If your settings are private, we can't feature your posts or share them in our monthly newsletter. We love public pages!

9. Your posts might get featured

The most popular (public) blog posts are featured and shared on EnglishClub.com's twitter and Facebook pages. Some blog posts on MyEC get dozens of comments. Some are featured in the monthly newsletter.  Here are some tips on how to tidy up your written English. 

10. It's Free!
