Why Might I Need Blogger Insurance?

What Type of Insurance for Bloggers Might I Need?

Most bloggers start with a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) for their insurance plan. It can help protect your blogging business from claims of bodily injury or property damage.
 
A BOP combines three essential types of coverage into a single policy, creating a strong foundation for an insurance plan:
 
General liability insurance helps protect your blogging business from claims that it caused bodily injury or property damage to others. These types of claims are common and can come up during normal operations.
 
Commercial property insurance helps protect your owned or rented office, as well as the equipment, tools and supplies you use to run your blog. These can include:
 
  • Computers
  • Stationary
  • Writing tools
  • Cameras
  • Hard drives
Business income insurance helps replace your lost income if you can’t operate your blogging business temporarily because of property damage caused by fire, theft or wind. 
 
Keep in mind that a BOP won’t protect your blogging business from every kind of claim. For more protection, you may need to get other types of coverage, including:
