ProBlogger: Why Did You Start Blogging? |
Posted: 06 Sep 2009 08:01 AM PDT In the last post on ProBlogger Kevin talked about starting a blog based upon one of your hobbies as a great way to start blogging. As I mentioned in the introduction to that post - Kevin had really described much of my own motivations for starting my photography blog (and that of many many other successful blogs). While I did see an opportunity for profit in that blog when I started it - my main motivation for kicking it off was to share what I was learning about photography and to see if I could draw others with a similar interest together to learn from one another. For me I always wanted to see if I could make some money from that blog - but early on it wasn’t the biggest motivation. Over the years as the blog has grown and become more profitable I suspect my motivations have changed a little - I’m still interested in the topic - but it’s certainly more of a focus to make it profitable. Of course starting a blog on a topic you’re interested in or passionate about is not the only way - many successful bloggers have started blogs with other motivations - including to make money, to grow their profile, to drive traffic to their business etc…. (or some combination of motivations). Why Did You Start Blogging?Yesterdays post has got me thinking - why DO people start blogs? Has the motivation changed from a few years back when blogs first began to get popular (when I started 7 years ago most people seemed to be doing it purely for fun and to make connections)? I’d be interested to hear about your initial motivations to starting a blog? Did you start on a topic you were interested in? Did you start with the idea of making money? Was there some other motivation/s? Also - have your motivations changed since starting your blog? Interested to hear your thoughts! Post from: Blog Tips at ProBlogger. |
