 Stumble it!

Blogging became a new phenomenom which attract more people every year. People with different education, interests, points of view, and personality start their online journals. It is interesting to know what motivate bloggers to write and publish blog posts. We decided to ask bloggers a simple question: Why do you blog?
We found 99 regular bloggers who gave us their answers:
Here some extra information our participants shared with us:
-
EBORG9, Las Vegas (Blog - 124bpms): ”I love the subject matter of my blog…and someone told me if I did it , that it would not be successful. I love a challenge!”
-
JohnE, Pompano FL (Blog - Learn To Market Online): “I started using blogs as a way of keeping track of some kata, some projects & rough drafts of documents (no matter where I was). After a few months, they started to get google rank and hits so i thought that I would link back to my main site to build it’s google rank.”
-
Unfettered (BlogCatalog profile): “I think I blog because standing on a street corner with a sandwich board and a bullhorn doesn’t pay as well as it once did.”
- Svetoslav Marinov, St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada (Blog - Devcha) ”Usually I blog about some programming problems and their solutions, because this could save some time to people that have the same problem.“

If those are your reasons for starting a blog, I don’t think your blog will be successful. I would call those benefits of starting a blog, not reasons for starting one.

We are still great friends, but he is all about the bottom line…he didn’t understand that I started this blog for the sport and hobby of it.
It’s like having your own personal online collection of the things that you love the most…for everyone to see.
