Why are you Blogging?






by Elaine on September 23, 2009

1102203 question mark 1 150x150 Why are you Blogging?This is one of the most interesting questions that I have encountered since I have started blogging. This is really interesting because it made me look back at the real reason and motivation on why I started blogging or problogging for that matter.

I have been blogging since 2005 and four years after, I am still continuing problogging. I started blogging about personal topics kind of like a diary wherein I recorded everything that I experienced. From that, I developed from personal blogging to professional blogging through dwelling into business topics. I was able to blog about different business topics such as outsourcing, project management, offshore security, and the likes. From these experiences, I am now able to blog about blogging and writing-topics which are very close to my heart.

In this blog post with the same theme entitled Hobby Blogs: Making Profits from your Hobby, it showcased how a blogger would be able to capitalize on blogging about the things which you really love and at the same time earn from it. Here is an interesting excerpt:

Here’s my point: I think there are millions of people who have untapped earning potential in their hobbies (a certain blogger’s digital photography hobby comes to mind). They’ve just never taken the time to share their valuable experiences and expertise online.

I think that once you are clear with your answer for this blogging question, then your path towards problogging is really a clear and straight one at that.

1162226 blog 150x150 Self Help Your BlogBlogging is not all about people just discovering you all of a sudden to keep your statistics up. It means that you have to have your own part in making sure that your blog would increase its staying power.  You, as a blogger is a big tool to ensure that you have a blog that would be relevant in the blogging world. There are a lot of professional blogs in the blog world, what would you need to ensure that you stand out in the problogging world? What are the simple things which you need to improve?

I have prepared a simple list that you could focus on and here are some things you could focus more in problogging:

a. Update Regularly - Scheduling posts are important because it keeps your readers updated in your blog updates and also gives a “scheduled” way of viewing your blog hence making it more professional in a sense. Aside from that, as a blogger you could also have time to compose rich content when you blog more and often.

b. Give back link-love - Linking to a blog or a post could work in two ways. One is to leave a comment to the other blog while the other is featuring that blog in your own post. Either way, these two ways could establish your blog in the social network since hence gaining readers.

c. Lay-out - Yes, appearance do matter when blogging and when you have an eye-catching design, it is certainly worth the reading time.

Problogging is fun but be prepared to do a lot of work before embarking on this journey. So be armed with this information and make your way to problogging!
