Why Blog?
Posted by geetarista July 22, 2007
Sometimes I think about why I even have a blog and if it is worth the time and money to keep it. I am not making any money from this blog and I don’t really expect to, even if this site becomes popular to others. I know that a lot of people have a blog to make money, but I do not really think that it is something that I am interested in doing. I even sometimes wonder if people read this blog or will continue to read it if I keep writing here. However, I have lately been thinking about why I want to do it and about what benefits it can bring to myself as well as others. Here are a few of the things that I have been thinking about lately:
- Practicing and improving writing skills
- Keeping a public journal that is beneficial to everyone
- Sharing experiences that I have had with others
- Self promotion
- Your blog is your resume
- Using it as a notebook to record what I have learned
Although this is not an exhaustive list of the benefits of blogging, I think that these points are important for a blog.
