February 14th, 2010 | by Daniel |Today everybody seams to be blogging, everyone for there own reasons. I choose to blog because I feel i have knowledge to share, and also knowledge to learn; Learning is a big driver for me, and I aim to improve my writing skills. Blogs seamed a perfect productive outlet for me to practice with.
I have been reading blogs for many years now around the topics of: Design, Technology, Productivity, Business, Entrepreneurship and Finance among many others. Starting a blog of my own was a natural progression from the nights of long reading. Below are 5 reasons to love a blog
(1) The blogging journey – In life its not the end result that brings the most satisfaction it can be the journey along the way, as it is the journey where you learn, grow and develop.
(2) Additional Income – How nice is it to go to work and to know that in the back of your mind that if you lost your job you can still survive just from your blogging income. (unfortunately my blog does not earn this yet, however many others do)
(3) A Personal Journal – It is nice to have a journal where you can reflect over the day, or what you have learnt and blogging technology offers this with the added bonus of sharing your thoughts with the world.
(4) Add Value to the internet – The internet is what it is today because of the richness of the communities of people that contribute towards its existence, these include the designers, developers, writers and most importantly the readers.
(5) Meet great bunch of people – the blogging community is filled with millions of subscribers who daylie follow particular blogs, leaving feedback and offering comments and opinions on your posts.
(6) Learn new skills – blogging is simple and anyone can pick it up however it does take a learning curve and you will develop some new skills. That may be design, writing or other technical skills.
(7) Educate yourself – To blog you need to find content and topics. You also need to do some research and some thinking around a particular topic once you have done that you then teach it back to your readers via the post. From this process you learn and improve your skills and knowledge and are therefore educating yourself.
(8) Your Hobby – last but not least – everybody needs a hobby, some hobbies can cost lots of money however why not make blogging your hobby as its cheap and very rewarding.
