Why Create a Blog?

I have started my very own blog lately. When I create posts on my blog, I just feel gratified and happy. It’s a feeling I would really like to share to all of you. So why create a blog?

Blogging is a way to express ourselves, our ideas, and our passions with others. It’s part of our human nature to want to share and communicate with others, and blogging is one of the best (and cheapest and most efficient) ways of doing that. Surely, you like talking to your family, friends, classmates, mentors - people whom you share common interests with. Now imagine reaching out and having a conversation with people right around the globe – that’s what blogging is.

The great thing about blogging is that anyone can read it. In the internet, there is about every type of reader available. A blog is a regular conversation with readers. A crafty and interesting post, a clear nice way of writing will attract people to read your blog. If you post something useful, the article can even help others. It’s such a nice feeling, to see people, having viewed your blog.

In a blog, you can share what you’ve created and even receive feedback. This can bring about improvement. You improve your writing skills and your creativity by blogging. You can blog about the topic you are passionate about. Eventually, you may even be recognized, in time. There are a lot of people who became famous because of their blog. Writing a blog is also a hobby. It is actually a form of leisure. Believe me, if you find it fun to read and see things on the internet, it is more fun to be the person who posts about it. It’s satisfying. And you can interact with your readers.

The Internet is often the first place people go to in order to learn a new skill. If a reader sees your blog and finds it useful, then wow, you have just helped a stranger. Isn’t it nice to know that you have helped someone because of what you wrote? Also, in time, readers may find great interest in your blog. It can be a way to open opportunities, and build friendships. You can expand your knowledge. These days, writing a blog presents an easy way to become a professional writer. I’ve seen and read about people who make money by blogging. Well, who knows? If you hone your writing skills, a company may take interest in your blog and hire you, or pay you to keep blogging. Yup, I am still a long way from that, but who knows? I might be well-known writer someday. It’s not bad to dream is it? J

I’ve read in the internet, that as a blogger you are part of a quiet revolution. Blogs have taken the power from traditional publishers, and given it to ordinary people – like you and me. You are now free to create something that gives you recognition and can provide an income. All you need is determination, a long-term plan, ongoing regular content creation – and know-how.
