My Reasons for Blogging - Were you Tagged?

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I’ve been tagged by Rob at The Million Dollar Experiment Down Under, and I am supposed to list five reasons for why I blog. If you get tagged like this, you’re supposed to write an introduction and link back to who tagged you, and then list your five reasons as to why you blog. Then you choose five people and tag them (and drop a comment on their blog letting them know they were tagged)! This is pretty awesome because not only is it easy content and gives a little more info about you, but you get linkbacks when the people you tag write their post! Anyway…

1.) To occupy myself and keep me out of trouble. ;) Blogging is a whole lot of fun for me. I’ve always been making my own websites and been into internet stuff for years now. A couple years ago I had a personal diary on Livejournal but now I’m into blogging full force on many different topics. It’s fun, even if I do waste too much time doing this!

2.) To make some cash - who wouldn’t want that? I’d have my own websites or blogs even if there was no profit, but once I realized I could make some pocket change online, that made blogging all the better! A little extra money never hurts.

3.) To connect with some really awesome people. Blogging is definitely not a solo act - it’s more of a community thing involving a lot of people! I’ve met some nice guys and gals and if it weren’t for blogging I’d never have even known them. It’s important to establish relationships with other bloggers.

4.) Sometimes I just like to hear myself “talk”! Okay, fine, I admit it. Sometimes I just get the urge to get online and type - whether it be email, a new post, or whatever. I guess I really like to hear myself “talk”. Maybe I always need to know I’m saying something so I can make sure I’m still alive. ;)

5. Why not? So many “I blog because…” reasons I could list, but I can only choose five. With blogging, everyone benefits. I can entertain myself, make some money, meet new people, learn new things, interest myself, etc. Other bloggers help each other all the time with link love and such. And then the readers hopefully always enjoy the blogs they keep an eye on! Blogging is just good for the soul.

Now for the tricky part… I tag Blog to Profit, My Highly Recommended Business Opportunities, Mr. Gary Lee, Earn Online Money, and Me and My Drum. I’d also like to tag a sixth, The Network Marketing Blog.

Also, a big happy Mother’s Day wish to all the moms out there!

    Jaya - You got traffic when I tagged you, because I linked to you. Now when you write your post include where you find this (link to this blog) and then tag five NEW people, and you’ll get even more traffic when they link to you. ;) Also.. How is Blogskinny against Adsense terms? I’ve not read this anywhere, so if you could let me know it would be great :)

    Mayenskie - You’re welcome… Thanks for agreeing to keep it going! :D

    NOTE TO EVERYONE: I can not make any posts tomorrow through Friday. So no posts Tues, Wed, Thurs, or Fri. I’m so sorry but I’ll make up for it!

    Sounds to me that you have a pretty good reasons to blog. If I could add one thing to your list, it would be to learn more about something I am interested in.

    For example, I am learning about health and fitness because after 18 years of schooling I found out that health and fitness interest me more than anything else I learned so I am continuing my learning through my blog by doing research on various topics.

    thanks for writing why you like blogging, we have many of the same reasons

    Svend - Yes, that is another reason I like to blog! There’s always something new to learn whether I’m doing research for my blog or reading someone else’s. :)

    Jaya - I didn’t know Blogskinny was artificial traffic. They do link to your blog, and so real people click it, so how could this be artificial? I’ve visited other blogs through Blogskinny and actually found some I’ve liked. And I’m not artificial… Hehe. Thanks for me letting me know though! I will definitely be looking into this as I don’t want to get in trouble with Adsense.
