Why do you blog?

If you are a blogger, you must have a reason why you blog. Some people do it for fun. Some people do it because they have to. Still some people do it only for money.

I ask this because I think about why I blog every time I make a post. I'm not saying I hate blogging. In fact, a blog is something I can look at some time from now and say, I was or still am there. For me, my blog is like my home on the Internet. I don't really make any money. In fact, I actually lose money for buying the domain name. But I don't regret doing so, and I don't regret doing this blog.

But, I have to think about why I do this blog because, I do not want to loose focus on what my goals are. One of my goals in the future is to, maybe someday, have the blog pay for itself. But, making money is not my obsession. I have noticed some blogs who seem to exist only to get money. The problem with this is, they get too focused on the advertising and not on the content. The content suffers, and their blog fails with them probably dropping it. I believe that content should come first and foremost, and the money will come on its own. For me, it may never come. But, because that is not my real reason for this blog, it doesn't bother me all that much.

For me, the fun of sharing what I have to say with people who are interested enough to read it, is good enough.
