So Why Do I Blog?

I just got a double combo tags by the cool dudes from FortuneWatch and SmartWealthyRich to participate in this meme about the topic you see from this title.

So the million dollar question:

“Why Do I Blog?”

To be honest, I’ve never been into this whole blogging thing. Even when the blogging phenomenon was sweeping through the whole globe, where grandmas are also getting into the act, I was rather indifferent. I guess it reached a point where, if you can’t beat ‘em, you join ‘em.

Okay, here are my exact reasons:

1. To publish my thoughts, views, and present worthy information which are of value to the readers. Previously, I did content management with a finance website (still doing now actually, but more on the editorial and Internet marketing aspects), and I had the chance to publish my writings online. Without that platform, I really had no way to do so.

However with a blog, just about everyone has the power to publish his or her writings, easily and quickly, with a minimum of fuss.

2. To network and make new friends. I like to think that since I started blogging, I managed to make new friends. Not only with those in my country (Singapore), but also folks from other corners of the Earth. Amazing isn’t it?

Blogs have made the world a smaller and more friendly place. It enables many like-minded people to come together and exchange pointers. Friendship are forged. Partnership are made. Possibly a million dollar deal in the making waiting for me in future too. That is the beauty of a humble blog. It is so simple, yet so powerful.

3. To learn. I’ve to say I have learnt loads from many fellow bloggers. It is just wonderful and a refreshing experience to read the various diverse perspectives and viewpoints of everyone.

4. To help others. As mentioned above, I’ve learned loads from other people, so it is only natural that I should try to help others learn as well. I may not be the most knowledgeable guy in the world, but if someone has learnt something from some of the stuff I wrote here, I’m happy.

I always believe in this – to receive, you have to learn to first give.

5. Good chance to know pretty babes!

Hey, thanx for paticipating! :)
I think point #5 is the one that’s missing in my “why do you blog” post on SWR! hehe

Hi Jon,

Not a prob man!
Haha, yes I share the same sentiments as you! Better update your post soon. :)

I think that making new friends is definitely the coolest thing about blogging. It’s been eye opening for me to see how friendly everyone is.

Hi Court,

Oh yes! Definitely is a nice feeling getting to know people who starts commenting on your blog.

Also great for networking and finding people who share similar interest. Always very fascinating!

I have to say that, without a blog, I wouldn’t have founds yours, which I think is a great blog!

Cheers,

Hi Jag,

Thanks for participating mate, this is the second time you have done it, I appreciate that.

To publish your thoughts, meet new people, and learn are good reasons. And to make new friends, I have really met and made friends with some wonderful people here, you are definitely one good friend I have made here. I love the way you have always encouraged me buddy. Like Jon I missed out point number 5…he he.

Keep up the good work. Take care and Cheers.

Hi Robin,

That is the wonders of blog ain’t it? Before I forget, we should not belittle the part of blogging communities such as MyBlogLog! If not for that, I wouldn’t come across your wonderful site, and Jon’s one too!

Haha. I guess point no. 5 is missed out on everyone’s list. Or maybe I’m the only one too bold to admit it. Lol.

Cheers mate,

Hi Sha,

Lol…well what you say is true, but then again, you never know what the future holds.

For me make a blog I want to share with everyone about my knowledge and experience but I still don’t know how to make money from blog.If everyone want to guide me please come to my blog and I will say thanks…Thanks Jag

So why do i blog? It is not because i have to but I want to. I think this is another way to make a bridge to someone’s thoughts and feelings.
