Bloggin for a Reason
For some it's just a fun thing to do, while some others feel
they will soon be left out; they soon join the crowd. Everyone
who uses the internet knows someone who has a blog. Now what do
you find in a blog that you don't find anywhere else? Nothing? If
you are a friend of the blogger you visit his blog probably
because you want a sneak peek into whatz happenning in his life
right? don't deny that? been there done that! oh, and if you are
a blogger yourself you visit other blogs thinking that the other
guy reciprocates.
So why do you blog? Ask yourself this question. If you can't
answer this I can tell you why you blog -
1. You wanted to be famous like the friend of yours getting
all the attention? You want people to give you more attention and
listen to you more.
2. You are socially disabled and the only contact you have is
with the computer. You obviously have not taken a bath in a week
or more. And you believe that the only people in existance on the
planet are living on the internet.
3. You do not really care what people think about you. You
want to drown others in your personal agony. You come up with
some thoughtless contradictions that you think others will like
to argue with you about.
4. You want to have a say in all things that is happenning
around you. You want to talk about what you ate this morning,
which side of the bed you got up etc. You have an agitated head
that wants to express all the million bits of thoughts that is
entering your head.
5. You want to be a self-proclaimed town crier. You think of
those eyeballs of people who know you who are constantly looking
for important updates about another person they know. You want to
be the first to announce a friend's wedding date that the others
know about already. You want to keep the rumour mills
turning.
6. You think you are very important in the society. They want
your opinions to be read and heard. You want to give profound
insights and meaningless thoughts that you feel will affect the
society at large.
7. You want to be a writer and you are only practising your
skills.
8. You have a lot of time and maybe you are even jobless at
the moment.
If you said YES to any one of these and that is the only
reason you blog, you probably need to rethink about what you want
to do with your blog to put it to better use today.
Now I will tell you the reasons why I blog.
a. A blog is a very important source of information online. We
know we are constantly on the lookout for more data to process
and blog is an all important source. No denying that. I want to
be a source of such useful information.
b. I have a business and I need to promote my business online.
If I own my own blog? I can self promote my services to you and
because you know me you are probably going to recommend me and
refer your friends.
c. I know that Search Engines like contents. Blogs are a great
way to get my site noticed by the search engines. Because a blog
is fresher than static sites, search engines love to visit blogs
to index them. If I talk about my business in my blog and put a
lot of keywords related to my business, people are more likely to
find me when they search for something in google and they find
the link to my business site and visit it. Believe me internet
works that way and this alone is a very good reason why you need
to have a blog.
d. I want to establish myself as an expert in my field. The
more people are going to hear about me and my business, the more
likely they are to put their confidence in me.
e. Blogs are a great way to position my company in the eyes of
my existing clients. In other words, giving it a more human
face.
Here is what Jonathan Schwartz, president and chief operating
officer of server maker Sun Microsystems had to say about blogs
after he started his blog himself and found that it was a gold
mine. "It'll be no more mandatory that they have blogs than that
they have a phone and an e-mail account," Schwartz says. "If they
don't, they're going to look foolish."
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates is considering starting a blog,
says a company spokesperson. Filmmaker Michael Moore began a blog
on July 4 to promote his controversial new movie, Fahrenheit
9/11.
I blog for a reason, do you???
