Why Blog?

A friend of me asked why people blog.  My response was that blogging is a creative outlet for people who enjoy writing.  Now I am sure that is true for many of us bloggers but that is not the only, or even the main reason why most people blog. 

When I first discovered blogging I thought of it as a online journal.  Once I began blogging I did make posts about my life, but found that blogs are  to public for me to share my world, and feelings like I would in a journal.  I also found journal type entries on other peoples blogs to be boring.  It might of been a eventful, exciting day for them, but really everyone in the world is experiencing a similar existence. 

So why blog?  Well blogging is big business.  Some people are able to earn six figures as professional bloggers.  I can’t tell your how long it has taken these people to reach these levels of success, or even what you have to do to rake in that kind of cash, but here is a list of why they blog, and where these successful bloggers income comes from.

Why Blog?

1) To please the search engines with fresh content, and be rewarded with traffic.

2) To earn a living doing what you enjoy.

3) To showcase websites, and products.
