Many bloggers write a long post on why they are blogging, but I thought I’d do it a little differently and post in the ever so popular list format. Here’s 5 reasons why I blog.

  • 1. It’s Fun

Blogging is simply fun. I enjoy writing, I enjoy receiving feedback, and I enjoy seeing my work on the web. If blogging wasn’t fun, I’d have nothing to do with it.

  • 2. It Keeps Me Busy

Blogging forces discipline on me. Each day that I look at the WordPress calendar and see it’s blank, it creates a false illusion to me that I have to do something to fill the blank space. Blogging keeps me focused and busy to keep creating.

  • 3. I Love Comments

I love waking up each morning and seeing new comments on the blog. It’s a great feeling to know your reaching people and they are taking note of your hard work and efforts. Comments are one thing which keeps me coming back for more.

  • 4. Job Opportunities

You would be surprised to see how many working opportunities have been presented to myself in the few months I’ve been blogging. There have been a few requests for blogging, writing, and podcasting work. One day blogging might present me with an offer I cant turn down.

  • 5. The People

There are many great people to be met in the blogosphere. I have become reasonable good friends with bloggers such as Paul Stamation, Derek Punsalan, Phill Ryu, and dozens of people in the Mac community.

Why do you blog? For money, for fun, to get better at writing, to meet people, or all of the reasons listed? Let me know why you are blogging!
