What is your motivator for blogging?

jan van iperen20th Jul 2006flow

Proof can be seen in the fact that a large proportion of today\’s bloggers have absolutely no shame to share their deepest and most intimate feelings with the rest of the world…. Usually the motivation comes from the (huge) response through comments and the people \”being part\” of your miniworld: your website. Traffic – Whether or not you have monetized your website, the amount of traffic (mainly the unique and returning visitors) can be an important motivator to keep you blogging. It can be contradictory: First you improve and increase your blogging to get more traffic till a certain point with steady traffic, where maybe you become more reluctant and less pushed to blog on a regular basis…… =) Polishing your Résumé – As most of today\’s employers \”google\” your name in order to get your \”electronic\” references also, we see more and more bloggers that use that blog to improve their online appearance, as well as to use it for actually find a job. Money – Making some extra bucks or even trying to make blogging your main source of income, either way it influences what and how you blog…. Sharing – Either or not to achieve interaction, but a lot of the non-personal blogging concerns displaying/sharing one\’s knowledge on a certain topic…. While writing this I think I can say that steady income might be one of the goals, increase in daily revenue a stimulator and a mixture of the above mentioned ingredients makes your motivator-milkshake.
