Reasons why I started Blogging

There are many reasons why people starts blogging:

To Market or Promote Something

Blogging is a great way to help market or promote yourself or your business, product or service.

To Establish Themselves as an Expert

Blogs are wonderful tools to help bloggers establish themselves as experts in a field or topic. For example, if you're trying to get a job in a specific field or hoping to publish a book on a specific topic, blogging can help legitimize your expertise and expand your online presence and platform.

To Connect with People Together

Blogging brings like-minded people together. Starting a blog can help us to find those people and share your opinions and thoughts.

To Make a Difference

Many blogs are issue-based meaning the blogger is trying to provide information to sway people's thinking in a certain direction. Many political blogs and social issues blogs are written by bloggers who are trying to make a difference in their own ways.

To Stay Active or Knowledgeable in a Field or Topic

Since successful blogging is partially dependent on posting frequency and providing updated, fresh information, it's a perfect way to help a blogger stay abreast of the events in a specific field or topic.

BUT...

These are my reasons why I started Blogging:

To Express My Thoughts and Opinions

I have something to say, and blogs provide a place to say it and be heard.

To Help People

Just like many other blogs those are written to help people who may be going through similar situations that the I have experienced. Many parenting and health-related blogs are written for this purpose. I hope that I can be one of them.

To Stay Connected with Friends and Family

The world has shrunk since the Internet has become more accessible. Blogs provide a simple way for my family and friends to stay connected from different parts of the world by sharing stories, photos, videos and more.

To Have Fun and Be Creative

Many people start a blog simply for fun, and I'm one of them. Perhaps a blogger is a fan of a particular actor or loves knitting and wants to share that passion through a blog. One of the most important keys to successful blogging is having a passion about my blog's topic, so I can write prolifically about it. Some of the best and most interesting blogs started out as blogs that were written just for fun and to give the blogger a creative outlet. That's what I want to learn about :D
