    Originally I started to blog because someone told me to, I used to really enjoy it. Haven't blogged in a long time though. Might get back into it.

    I started blogging because of all the experiences I had with making money online! This way, I can showcase all the programs that paid and scammed me hoping that the readers will join under me or at least thank me for a useful post.

    I started blogging, providing information on a certain topic, because I thought I could do it better than the crap I'd been reading on line. I still think I do it better for that particularly topic LOL

    I started to blog because I enjoy writing. I began with political blogs because that is where my thoughts were at the time. Now I have a variety of blogging experiences and topics.

    I started blogging because I like to help other people who want to make money online.

    I frequently get emails from people who have questions about how to do something with their website or wordpress blog or just want some encouragement.

    Some of these questions are really great and I think they will help others who may have the same question, so I blog about it.

    I had a website that was earning good money, but the platform was slow, so I turned to blogging as it seemed faster - and it is. Faster to update - and all the great plugins, which really give me the functionality I need.

    The downfall though is that I get too wrapped up in looking for stuff, good stuff, for the blog. I never promote any of my blogs/sites ... so nobody comes :)

    So, it's a hobby for me: collecting together all the neat things I can do with a blog and all the neat ideas/tips/tricks I can gather. All in one place for when I need or want them.

    Blogging doesn't pay as much as a website in my experience (for what I do). I have too many blogs and not enough hours.

    My "downfall" for wasting/losing time is never being able to find a good free theme that I like and that works the way I want it to.... weeks I've wasted... weeks over months. So I keep thinking, every now and then, that it's time to buy a flexible theme ... and I'm still pursuing that.

    I like writing and the easiest way to have a site online without having to build one or pay someone is by blogging, and hopefully make money from it in the future.

    I started blogging in order to express my views on things that I feel I should,,,,...
    Not just that, this way, we are able to get in touch with people of our interests.
    And, if the blog gets a decent traffic each day, then adsense income will also start to flow....

    I started blogging in order to promote myself and my activity. It's quite funny when you blog on your passion even if it is a work in the end :)

    I started blogging for fun on Xanga a long time ago. I had tons of traffic and visitors and gradually started getting more interested in other types of blogging. I recently decided to start a more serious type, and move forward with it because I love it so much.

    Practically the same with me. I started to post in a corporate blog, and began to enjoy it. First of all because I learned a lot of new information, and to lead a blog one should keep up-to-date with current events in his niche area.
    Now I've started my own blog as well, but unfortunately don't have enough time to promote it.

    for the nookie?

    Personally I started it to start making some money and found a popular niche I knew about and it took off. Ever since that first blog it's kind of been addicitve, my little network has grown. ;)

    Im blogging because it documents my ways of making money online, aside from helping people, youll be able to focus more on your efforts as you are writing them down. ;)
