    Why do people blogging? Have you ever thought about that? I do, here are 8 reasons from my point of view, check it out, maybe some are your reasons.

    1. Easy to use. First of all, blog is much easier website, if you start blogging, you will know that blogging is so easy, without many knowledge of website, you could build your own blog website. Don’t know where to get started?

    2. Glory. Whatever it is necessary or not, people really want to be famous, in my opinion, blog is a great way make Internet stars, people love following stars and wish to be stars. Seth Godin, Steve Pavlina, Darren Rowse? Will you know them if no blogs?

    3. Self-expression. Many people are blogging because it is a great way to express themselves, There are so many free BSP out there, why not blog for self-expression? Do you have a better way to express yourself on the Internet, I don’t think so, blog is the best way!

    4. To help. Yes? Why not? I found that many bloggers are blogging about useful information which is very helpful to people, it is a great happiness to help others, why not help others with your blog?

    5. Job. Believe or not, for many people, blogging is a real job in their lives. companies are hiring people to write about want them want, like their products. There are more than 400,000 paid bloggers in the USA, and the salary is not so bad, equal $2,5-3 thousands per month.

    6. Selling products. On the Internet, we could easily start selling products worldwide, the selling could be happen in minutes after beginning, especially if you are selling digital products like eBook, audio, video or software.

    7. Selling affiliate products. As I know, there are thousands and thousands of affiliate programs on the Internet, you could sell their affiliate products with your blog, and of course you will get paid from affiliate programs, it is a great way to make money from blog. Usually affiliate marketing doesn’t need a blog, but with a blog will boost your affiliate marketing very well.

    8. Make Money Online. Last but not least, now it has became more and more popular to make money from blog. That is one of reasons why I blog, I want to make a craft money tree online with my blog, I wish someday I could be a successful blogger, like John Chow, Yaro Starak and so on, they are all very successful bloggers, they could make more than $10,000 from their blogs, amazing salary, right?

    Everyone has his different views of reasons of blogging, but I think that, the most important things is enjoying blogging, have fun blogging, without interest of blog, you could not a good blogger. So find out the reason why you blog, raise it and let’s enjoy blogging!

    That is my reason too. But I don't think that everyone is blogging for only money. When you don't need to worry about money, I think that you won't blog for money any more.

    Like all thing internet related Blogging for me started simply enough for reasons:
    2) Glory
    4) To help

    But then users found ways to make money out of it which happens so the list is very good :)

    Im sure there are still users who just want to post their views and idead but if they can make a little bit of money out of it then why not, times are Hard

    i used to start a forum for fun, with time go, feel tired of that, it waste time
    then quit forum and start to blog, not much money, but at least get something back for spending time blogging

    Many of the successful blogs today started out as a personal journal. I know Shoemoney's did, but it quickly has turned into a business (a very profitable one at that!). A lot of the make money online blogs nowadays though weren't started with that same intention. It's amazing that Shoemoney's is still probably the most successful (or close to it).

    I felt spending time in forums was a waste of time before, but now I found out if you can't be a good blogger, if you don't join in a forum, maybe that is why I am not a successful blogger yet, I just start joining in forum now.:D

    I believe that most people dont like to blog. Most of the time they pay people to write for them.

    A lot of people get into blogging simply because they love or have some concrete interest in a certain topic. Then from that they learn about the ability to make money from a blog.

    Nope, they come down to pleasure/ happiness. You wouldn't care about money if it didn't bring you happiness or pleasure or at least help you achieve happiness or please.
