Why do I blog?

Well if the truth be known I don’t actually know.  The blogs have become a bit patchy of late due to no urgency to do them but thinking back over the time I have been blogging the reason for doing it has changed.  When I first came up with the idea to blog it was something to use up a hosting package that I had bought to practice something that I was doing in my degree and that was web design.  I kind of did a few things before moving into blogging on here but nothing really took off, then I saw all the bloggers out there that made money and thought why not?

So I setup the blog in order to make money, however if your thinking about that now I wouldn’t because unless you’ve got something unique your not going to make enough traffic in order to make it profitable, there are odd people that do make it but you need a following and being unique gets you that.  Not saying that I don’t get traffic I just don’t get enough to make money.

So why do I carry on doing it?

Well the truth is I do as something to do I can go weeks without wanting to do it or I can go weeks with posting a blog post everyday, its really depending on how I feel, it is mostly away of letting off steam about stuff in the news and technology.  Although must admit it has got me through some tough times, due to the fact it was something else to focus on.

Would I say a Blogs a good thing to have?

Definitely its some where you can voice your opinions on something or help people with stuff they don’t understand, the web always give you an out to other people that are liked minded so why not give it ago and see what happens specially if you decide to get your own domain submit it to google and just see what happens.
