Why Learn How To Blog when I Am So Busy

How To Blog For Newbies Day 6

Before starting HowToBlog.org and SphereScreen.com, I have already written other blogs as well. All of them are done under Google’s Blogspot.

The first was written with the intention of sharing my management experience and the second blog, about foreign exchange. After a few days, I ran out of steam.

Why did I blog then? Probably just to join in the fray.

Why do you blog?

Dr Alan Cann describe his blog:

• is a place where I think, plan and reflect
• forces me to read in order to gather the input I need for my output
• is a place where I play with technology and ideas
• often surprises me
• is a place where I collaborate
• is currently the most satisfying part of my job
• is slightly dangerous
• is compulsive

Dr Walter van den Broek said this about Blogging:

“Certainly a small part of the fun is hoping for admiration and affirmation. I check my blog stats and google analytics regularly and a peak in readers certainly is another boost for writing more posts. Eventually you get to “know” your colleague bloggers, and human contact grows. The most important reason for me to blog is to keep up with developments in my field and make ideas and these developments known and published. A growing number of professionals have started weblogging to share their personal knowledge.”

There are 3 main reasons for blogging?

1. Professional Recognition – to share knowledge with readers and to portray oneself as an expert in one’s area of expertise
2. Employment Opportunity
3. Blogging as a Business – good blogs are potential revenue generators

Frankly speaking, everybody has their own reason for reaching out to internet audience. Whatever it is, your blog is a good way to your customers and to interact with your fellow hobbyist. Good luck!
