Posted by bonoriau Labels: Blogging Tips

Last week I post an article on Why Do We Blog and the feedback from our fellow bloggers are very good.

Here some of the comments Why Do We Blog :

Trisna said...me? why do i blog?
1. Just for fun
3. writing and journalism hobby
3. networking -- friends

Eric - InfiniteWebProfit said...I blog for fun and for profit.
Michael Aulia said...Thanks for the linky.. I wouldn't call myself an Enterpreneur though with that income :D
I used to blog for fun only, but if you can earn a bit, why not?
nepspeed82 said...I blog to make money. Unfortunately, I'm barely earning any. Now, I blog to learn things again then blog about it to see what I've missed why i'm barely getting anything from my effort.
rizal said...Pak Bono,I blog for fun. The fun thing is, i make new friends too. Like You. Whuhu!!
internet 4 money said...It was just a diary for me when I start blogging. But now, I make a living from it
Lady Rose said...I blog for fun, to have a place to keep all my writing in one place (a couple places since I have a few blogs with different themes), to keep me motivated to reach a goal, as an online journal, and if I make a few pennies along the way to cover the cost of hosting I'm happy. :)
Steve said...Blogging is fun. I blog as a true hobby and passion. I feel I have knowledge that needs to be shared, but no one really wants to listen so I blog. At least it is now available. Anyways Have a wonderful day
balidreamhome said...to meet such a good person such as you are buddy !!
Gary R. Hess said...Good god that is an addicting picture. Every time I come here I find my eyes looking towards it... I must fight them in order to move on :-P
tyna said...I blog for fun and to meet new people,I started blogging when we moved to another country as a means keeping in touch with my friends and family. Focusing on one area will be difficult for me because like you am so passionate about so many things.I am into a lot of offline business that I don't really care about making money from my blogs now all i want is to do my thing which is just writing down my feelings & views.
Atniz said...I blog for money.. Friends and online learning process happens in the process.
Emila Yusof said...I blog for fun and for a little bit of side income. I hope I won't be in the cat-fight situation
The comments really keep up my spirit; to stir the spirit of others; to stir my blood, my brain, and my beliefs. Thank you for the comments ....How about the others??
Note : Simple contest ...the 10th commenters will win 100 ec, 15th commenters will win 200 ec and 20th commenters will win 400 ec...good luck!! The last contest winner balidreamhome, restnrilkes & lover of life

I blog for some extra pocket money. While sharing information and making new friends, why not make some money from it right? I don't really expect to get rich by blogging. But if I'm able to make more money than what I've planned for, it's a bonus for me(and luck).Best to you all bloggers.

Kaching ! My comment was the 20th Comment

Bonoriau, your post is really picking up comments and I must say it a great idea. In fact, I kind of borrow your idea and will also give a small token to my commentators.

And that another reason for blogging, i.e. cyber interaction (with reward of course).

Congrats you are my 20th commenter..U own me 400 comments ..heee joking

I want to answer, too! As for me, I blog to express myself mainly. I want to leave a little piece of me, so that when I am old and all I can do is to let my grandkids surf the net for me, I could tell them my life story based on my blog posts.

Next to that would be earning money and meeting other people.

Jennwashere, thanks for dropping by and you have a different reason to blogging ..interesting

Although I have several blogs I blog on one for fun, and the other to pass on free information and surprisingly both get about the same amount of hits per day.
I haven't monetized either of my main blogs, although one will accept sponsorship but the other won't lol, but it was always my decision from the outset that the information I provided on my main blog would always be free with no affiliated links or ads to click on, it works for me :)
Have a great weekend,

I started out blogging as an online journal of sorts. I didn't think for a moment that anyone would be tempted to read about me.

That's why I love when people stop by and comment. Whether they like or dislike what I have to say...they've cared enough to say so. :)
