Why do you blog?
Happy Sunday everyone! Let’s play a game. I have given 10 reasons why I blog but are they all true? From following my blog, would you know which points are true or false?
1 – Self-expression – My blog provides a space to share my thoughts and opinions.
2 – Building a personal brand – It helps me to establish my voice and identity online, whether professional or personal.
3 – Sharing knowledge – I blog to teach others, provide advice, or explain things I have learned.
4 – Documenting life – I use my blog as a digital diary to capture memories, milestones, and reflections.
5 – Community connection – I love how my blog can attract like-minded readers, fostering discussion and friendships.
6 – Improving writing skills – Regular posting helps me to refine my style, clarity, and communication.
7 – Career opportunities – My blog showcases expertise, attracts many job offers, collaborations, and freelance work.
8 – Inspiration and motivation – It gives me a sense of purpose and a creative outlet to explore new ideas.
9 – Earning income – I am fortunate to make a lot money on my blog through ads, sponsorships, and affiliate marketing.
10 – Leaving a legacy – My blog can become a lasting collection of my thoughts, stories, and contributions for others to discover. It will be read for generations to come.
I would say 7 and maybe 9 aren’t true.

Absolutely spot on Beth. If it becomes a legacy, that will be the cherry on the top 😜

Except for nos. 7 and 9, we have the same reasons why we blog. Mine is not monetized and it will stay that way. Thanks for this post Wayne.😍

I haven’t followed your blog for long, but 7 & 9 don’t quite seem to fit you and the topics you post about.
As for the others, I think many of us do it for similar reasons. We want to connect with others, share ideas, and maybe leave a little something behind.
Cheers!

Definitely connection and sharing our world are big ones for me. Learning from others and growing also. I’m a nurse / teacher so you can rest assured I’m not making money from my blog haha. Thanks Richard.

I’m guessing 7 & 9 aren’t currently true.

Haha absolutely Dan! I don’t think I would still be working as a nurse if my blog was making a lot of money. I also don’t think I will be leaving any kind of legacy, much to my disappointment 😜
