Well, I believe that you know what is blog and what a blog can do. So actually if you want to expose yourself to the internet, you need a blog. Why do you need a blog? There are many reasons, everyone has their own reasons, and if you have a blog today, I know that you have your own reason why you blog. The numbers of blogs are increasing on the net everyday, so why do people blog? In general, there are 5 common reasons that people blog. They are:

1. People Blog Because They Like It
I find this quite interesting because blogging actually becomes a hobby now, people blog simply because they like it, they like to blog. Just like me, I will open up my blog every single day, to check for comments, to track my blog’s traffic, know who and where my visitors come from. I will also leave comments on other people’s blog, read what other bloggers’ posts, etc, etc, etc. It is all about blogging, I can’t leave the blogging world now, I’m addicted to blogging. This is because somehow I like to blog. It can fill up my free time, learn more about internet marketing, how to earn money online… all these are my favorite topics. So I blog because I like it. How about you? Do you blog because you like it?

2. People Blog Because Their Friends Are Blogging
I found that this is also one of the reasons that people blog. They blog because their friends are blogging. With the increasing popularity of blogs, more and more people have started their own blog, and tell the whole world about what they like. Even politician plays blog nowadays. In the past, building your own website is not an easy task, but now with the help of blogging tools like WordPress and Bloggers, you can have your own ‘personalized’ website in almost no time. Almost everyone knows about blogs now, if you don’t have one, you’re outdated. Maybe in the future blogs will become a ‘must have’ thing in our daily life, just like mobile phone, it changes from ‘good to have’ to a ‘must have’. So if you don’t have a blog today, I strongly recommend you to start and build one.

3. People Blog Because They Want To Earn Money Online
Truly, many bloggers out there create their blog because they hope that they can earn some money online from their blog. Google Adsense has revolutionized the blogsphere, with the existence of Adsense, more and more people start blogging and try to earn money from the net. Soon after, other advertising companies also showed up because Adsense bring the internet world back to life. Before this, earning money from the net is something like a myth, it is something that people don’t believe in, but now earning money online is something that everyone can do, even a small kid. Here is my advice if you want to earn money online with your blog, create as much value to help your visitors and readers as possible, the more value you create, the more your will earn from your blog. It is just the rule of giving and receiving.

4. People Blog Because They Have Got Nothing To Do
Some people create a blog because they have got nothing to do, they have extra free time, and since all of their friends have a blog, so they decide to try one. For those who build their blog because they got nothing to do, they won’t succeed with their blog. This is because they blog without any strong desire supporting them in the back. Once they face any difficulties, like they don’t know how to insert and plug-ins or widgets, they will give up. The number one killer for this kind of blog to fail is the lack of traffic. Imagine that if you keep on blogging, but nobody actually show up in your blog and read what you write, you are going to lose the momentum and give up. That is why you must have a strong desire and reason if you want to create a successful blog.

5. People Blog Because They Want To Tell The World About Them
Have you come across some of these blogs? They are personal blogs, these blogs are filled with a lot of personal stories of the author. There are some cases where this kind of blogs turn into a very successful blogs. However, the chances are one in a million. Meaning that if you want to earn a fortune this way, the probability is almost zero. If your goal is to earn money online, I don’t recommend you to start without a plan, because if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Many people thought that if they want to achieve great results and success in their life, they just need to go for it without thinking much, they will somehow find a way and if they face any failure, their failure will correct their route. Yes, this is true, but if you do it with a plan, aren’t you going to achieve something in a much easier and faster way? This is why we need gurus in our road to wealth. Don’t just pursue success with your eyes close, you are going to hit the wall and fall down, you are going to take longer to achieve your goals.

So there you have it, the 5 common reasons why people blog. So do you know why you blog? I hope that after you’ve read this article, you know the reason you blog. If you still don’t know the reason, please look for the answer, take as long as you need to find out the reason. This is very important if you want to create a solid blog and achieve amazing results with it.
