The blogging is growing very fast and becoming more and more popular everyday, but there are still people who wants to blog but don’t know how to blog and why to blog.
Note: Don’t forget to tell me why do you blog in comments section after reading the post.
People still asks that is blogging important for their business or anything they do in their life.
Most time my dad forces me to stop wasting your time behind your laptop, don’t play with your future, go and study blah blah, but I can’t quite blogging.
Remember: World Needs More Bloggers!
When I first started blogging, my main goal was to make money, but after sometime I realized that blogging has become a part of my life. I can’t live without my laptop, internet and my blog.
Why do I blog?
Here I’m going to discuss about why I blog and why it is important not only in business, but for every field of time.
1. It Improves my English:
This is the first reason and most important reason of why I blog. I have seen a lot of improvement in my English after entering in blogging field.
As a Afghan citizen, It was really difficult for me to learn and speak English. I’ve spent so much time and money in learning English from different courses.
Blogging is what which improves my writing skills and makes me read more and more. That is also what which has improved my English more in over couple of months.
2. It connects me with like minded people:
Blogging is the great way to share and learn
A blog is a place where you can share your thoughts and to connect with other like minded people who are interested in your niche.
It has been 5 months I started this blog and sharing best advice on blogging tips, marketing, social media and little about technology. It started off with 0 readers, but It quickly grew. Now everyone who visits my blog is interested in blogging and marketing, they connects with me on Facebook and Twitter.
Today blogging has connected me with more than 1,000 like minded people who are passionate about and are interested in those topics in which I’m.
All of those are great peoples that I would never have had the opportunity to connect with otherwise, if not for the blog.
3. It gives me opportunity to help others and establish myself as an expert:
A blog is a place where I can establish myself as an expert in my field by sharing legitimate advice and by helping others in a topic which I know better than someone else.
Blogging is what which gave me opportunity to help many people to solve their problem regarding blogging and and marketing and to establish myself as an expert.
4. It makes me money:
It is must to point here that from last 2 months blogging has really made me some money, As a student making money from my blog as a part time is another reason of why I’m blogging.
But as I mentioned above, I’m not blogging only to make money. There are a lot of people who starts a blog to make money, but they quite after sometime because of getting banned from Google Adsense or finding it hard to make money from a blog.
But my suggestion for those people is that If you want to start a blog just to make money than better don’t waste your time or don’t quite it until you reach your goal because making money from blogging isn’t as easy. It needs a lot of time and effort.
I never quite until I get what I want. -Thomas Edison
5. I’m having fun:
I’m writing about topics in which I’m interested in and have passion, so It makes me have fun by sharing my ideas and advices with others.
One of the most important key of sticking with a blog is to have a passion about your blog’s topic.
There are many other reasons of why I’m blogging, but as of now those 5 reasons came in my mind.
Your Turn:
I would love to read your answer on why do you blog below. Let me know in comments that why do you blog and do you also enjoy blogging?
I love it Ehsan, talk about # comments on a post!
I think the reason we start is different from what makes us keep on blogging. A blogger really has to love the interaction part of it, and have a sense for what kind of writing works for their audience. This makes it fun down the road. What do you think?
You’re right Greg. The interaction with readers also plays a big role and that became another reason which makes me keep on blogging.
Thanks for the heads up.
Hi Ehsan,
So glad you led me to this post. I think I will put the reasons why I blog down as a post. I hadn’t thought about it. I’m glad that blogging is helping with your English. You are one step ahead of me. I’m only good at writing English. I will have to try to write in another language. I admire you for this. Great article. Sally
Looking forward to read your reasons on why do you blog Sally. Well yeah, blogging really helped me improve not only my English writing skills, but also It gave me chance to talk to English speakers through phone and interview etc which was really fun and helpful for me.
What language are you going to try BTW?
To be honest iam blogging only for money
, its the main thing which some bloggers neglect it to say. anyways while making some money i am enjoying all the things and learning a lot.
Yup Rajkumar, But keep in mind that don’t just focus on making money. If you’re enjoying writing on your blog and If you try to serve your readers need than money will come automatically.
To be the first reason why i choose blogging is for making good money through it. Although i have fun during it and i am enjoying it alot.
The key to make money from a blog and take it to the next level is to enjoy the fact itself and the key to enjoy it is to choose a blog topic in which you’re passionate about.
Got my point?
That’s the exact question which I ask to myself; almost ” everyday “. Am I blogging for money, for sharing my thoughts, for promotion…and bla bla bla..
And then finally got an answer from my soul ” its too much “, just blog for fun…
What do you think… I am right or wrong..
Yup Vivek, You must enjoy what you do to stick with it. If you hate blogging than you can’t be a long time blogger. Having fun is must in blogging other than making money from it.
Hi Ehsan!
I had been freelancing as a writer for the last two years and was earning what most Indians only dream of from a work at home job.
What was missing was the recognition. I hated my work being published in someone else’s name. I had written 19 eBooks, tons of articles and website content but no one knew me!
I took to blogging only 3 months back, and though I still have a long long way to go, I am enjoying what I do.
Let me add here that I am impressed to see an Afghan youngster do so well. I was under the impression that internet was not allowed there.
Keep up the good work, kiddo!!
I can’t believe Ambika, You’ve written 19 E-books? :O
o
You had taken a great step by starting your own blog because other than making money from your work, You should get a authority also.
It has been only few years now internet is available here in Afghanistan. Afghanistan is really going well now. It has been 7 months for me I’m blogging and I’m loving it.
Thanks very much for your appreciation Ambika. Loved your words
Hey Ehsan,
I must appreciate the concept that you have highlighted. Great Idea. Often people do blogging but did they ever think in this way that why do they need to blog? Whenever, I have asked people, they said they loves to do blogging. Well, I think blog helps us to connect with simmilar minded people. Like that you have highlighted above. Yes, this is absolutely true. Sometimes, people use blog in the form of earning money. Infact, blog definitely plays an important role and also has create a significant position in our daily lives. I feel I do blogging just for better interaction with people. That’s it. I think that’s also play an important role. Thanks for the share!! I really do feel like commenting on some of the unique post like the one you have posted here. Thank you once again!!
Hey Aditi,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts here and I’m glade you liked my reasons on why do I blog.
Are you really blogging only for better interaction with people? That means you don’t want to make money with your blog, right?
BTW, I think you’re running SEO company website and no blog. If you have any blog feel free to share It’s link in reply to this comment.
Interesting post Ehsan.
You have conveyed your thoughts well, your passion for blogging certainly shows in your writing.
Photography is my profession not blogging, though I really do enjoy blogging and interacting with other people. So I blog primarily to share my knowledge of photography and to show my work to other people.
Additionally, the opportunity to enter into online conversations is both fun and very rewarding.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Ehsan, best regards to you,
- Phil
Hey Phil,
Photography is very popular topic and If you have passion in photography than you’re very luchy cause It can bring you success very quickly.
I’ve visited and commented to your blog many times and I must say that you’re going great.

Good Post Ehsan Ullah!
Blogging is another way to share your knowledge and help seekers of any topic though your contents. Not only this but this is also a good way to have communication with so well-educated and hard working people. Blogging society is magnetic. Blogging’s node is positive so that’s mine too… Can’t even think to repel it in anyway…!
I have started my blog few days back therefore I am learning tips from good bloggers like you to make myself successful. I have almost told you about blogging’s importance for me in this comment box but you can also read more…! click the link given below. Overall interesting post. 
Thanks!
Hello Perky,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts regarding blogging. I’ll surely check that article in your CommentLuv link and will surely connect with you.
Thanks for stopping by.
I myself like the idea of improving English skills by writing for blog. Rest of the ideas are also very interesting. Keep it up, Ehsan
You are very welcome Habit bro, I’m glade you liked my article. Your comments always encourage me to write more and more.
Blogging is great. It gives money as well as fame. Connecting with new people is one of the greatest advantage.
@Puneet, There are a lot of ther great advantages of blogging other than connecting with like minded people.
Thanks for stopping by,
Hi Ehsan,
A familiar but interesting post. I blog because I can connect with like minded people and can share opinions. Many do it for money. Many do not even know what a blog is. I do it for passion and I truly enjoy myself doing it. It is wonderful experience as we learn everyday.
By the way, there are a few grammatical and spelling errors in this post. Please do not be offended for raising this. You have truly mentioned that your are improving your English. Please keep it up.
Regards,
Sanjib Saha
Hello Sanjib,
Thanks for stopping by again after long time. I also do it because it’s not my passion (My passion is soccer) but it’s my hobby.
I know I still have some grammatical mistakes in my writing, I’m still trying to improve my writing skills. That is also why I do blog because it improved my writing skills and English.
Thanks for your words Sanjib. Keep visiting.
Great article and question Ehsan.
First and foremost I enjoy it, saying things that help people has always been something I enjoy – and now I can publish them when I want to as wide an audience as want to read them.
I also know it boosts web traffic and hence sales, but primarily pleasure.
Hey Jon,
Welcome to my blog my friend. This is true, I also enjoy by helping and guiding people on something through my blog. I started to to make money, but it became my hobby.
It is also making me some money.
Thanks for stopping by buddy.
Hi Ehsan,
Great post. Blogs are a very natural way to attract links. It is interesting to read all the comment of why others blogs on here. Blogs provide one of the most important ways of getting extra traffic. I believe the effects are magnified if the blog becomes an integral part of the company website. I blog to provide common questions with answers for my target market, to brand my company, SEO, authority figure and more. I love how it gains exposure to my business.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on blog Cherie and I hope you enjoyed reading everyone’s comments here. I know you blog for your business to get exposure to your SEO company and that is good way.
Thanks for stopping by, Have a good day.
Ehsan U.
I used to read a lot of blogs before I started my own blog. When I was reading other blogs, I learnt a lot of stuff. This, I applied to my blogging and I’m in the process of establishing my own writing style. Hopefully, I will be as sucessfull as you Ehsan..
Thanks for the kind words Sergio. As I mentioned in one of my post that I did a lot of hard work and spent a lot of time to improve my writing skills.
I would suggest you to read, read and read because reading is what which can bring improvement in your writing. But remember, you also have to keep writing! Never stop writing, make it your hobby.
BTW, I’m still not as successful as some others. I want to be able to see my name on those list.
Appreciate your words Sergio, Have a great time.
Ehsan U.
Hi Ehsan,
Really nice post, that was really honest. I’ll tell you why I blog;
Firstly, to help people, I really want to do that. I’ve been through some really tough times and it was a consequence of my own wrong doings. So I really wanna educate people on certain aspects of life.
Secondly, it changed the way I look at myself and others, I hold back my thoughts, try to think deeper and understand why things are the way they are.
I also have a lot of fun doing these. But I recently lost interest and took the biggest step – I deleted my blog for a few days only to realize that it meant too much to me and so I had to get it back on.
I can now safely pledge that I can commit myself fully to blogging. Good luck with your efforts and you really have a great future ahead.
Aditya
Hey Aditya,
Thanks for your kind words bro. I must say that you’re really doing great and are going great.
What I like about your is that It’s simplicity, great content, awesome information to help people live better life. Your blog topic is something which can easily bring you success if you put some work on it.
If you’re also having fun by doing this than It’s really great. I don’t know why you tried to delete your blog.
That is awesome and can change your life.
I would suggest you to please keep blogging and keep putting efforts on your blog. Target the “Healthy Lifestyle Tips” keyword to rank on Google. You’ll have great time soon.
Thanks for stopping by
Hi Ehsan,
I personally started blogging to make money but then realized that without these connections I’ve made there would be no money. I love blogging because I’m able to share with others things I’ve been learning that are taking me further in this industry which I know are helping others as well.
Glad to read why you are here and I can understand your Dad wanting you to concentrate more on your studies. He’s just looking out for you. But, we’re glad you’re here.
~Adrienne
Hey Adrienne,
I’m happy to receive your comment. I also started my blog to make money with it, but now my goal isn’t to make money. I’m also doing it to share what I learned and to help newbies to start a better and profitable blog.
Yeah, I know my dad is looking out to me, but I don’t want him to force me to stop blogging
Hi!
I do blogging not because I want to write…but,because I like the idea/challenge of getting a lot of readers to view my blogs…Its a little out of focus at this time, but time will come that I’ll do blogging because I want to write.
Hey Kremil,
I like your idea, but in order to be a better blogger we have to have a habit of writing. You need to make a writing a habit if you need to be a Blogger.
Thanks for sharing Ehsan. Blog is definitely a medium to polish the english language especially for those of us who are non native english speakers
Hi Julius, You got my main point here. As a Afghan citizen it is really difficult for us to learn and speak English, but a blog helped me a lot to improve it.
I started blogging because I needed a hobby, hopefully one day I will be able to also make money. Great post.
I hope you’ll be a great and successful blogger soon. Thanks for stopping by and good luck Eyern.
Nice blog post Ehsan, I blog because I want to help people first of all, and create bigger business or to expand it. And I enjoy it, from time to time it can be hard but with right mind set, blogging can be enjoyable.
thanks for sharing
Hey James,
Glade you liked it, I’m also blogging because I want to build an online business through my blog, And helping others is also one of my reason. Thanks for stopping by James.
My vote for 1&2…
I blog because…. well you know my reasons
It’s my passion cum profession. And I always love to sharing my thoughts with like minded people. And I want to stand out from crowd, blogging is one of the better choices to do that.
Great going pal
Yeah, I know your reasons Rahul
You’re already sharing the great tips with people in your blog, even I’ve learned a lot of great tips and lessons from your blog. Here’s one thing which I want to ask from you. Do you also want to make money with your blog or no?
I love having fun on blogging and at the same time I generate money.
Good going dlysen. I hope you’ll be making 8 figure income from your blog soon.
Hey Ehsan,
I’ve similar problem as Saad. I actually don’t know the reason of why I’m blogging
But I hope soon I’ll find it out
I totally agree with you mate, especially I like your 1st and 2nd point, coz blogging improved my way of communication from No knowledge in to improve my communication.
Blogging is a bridge to communicate like minded people to share ideas and improve the knowledge.
Thanks for your support Naveen, I’m happy you stopped by and shared with us your thoughts regarding blogging.
Blogging will bring good jobs for you. It is the main reason behind my blogging. Second thing is it help me to learn more about computer and Internet. Now i am not wasting my time , previously i was spend lot of time with Facebook and Orkut. But they didn´t nothing.But blogging give me lot of money. I bought a Laptop ,Mobile phone, Monitor and lot of other stuffs.
Hey Sibin,
It’s really good to know you love Blogging and you made good money with Blogging. You’re right on this. Facebook and Twitter etc sites are just wastage of time, I only use them to promote my blog posts.
I have a blog post on this post and I’ve mentioned there that why networking in your blog is better than networking in social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and Orkut etc. Here’s the link http://www.guideandnews.com/2012/05/30/why-and-how-to-treat-your-blog-like-a-social-networking-blog/
Hi Ehsan,
I really don’t know, how i came in this industry?
Earlier, when i was in first year of my engineering, i wanted to make money by designing basic electronic circuits but the plan failed due to some academics problem.
I met my final year senior and presented my plan of money making via network marketing, but he stopped me to do all these things and he suggested me to start blog to make money.. Then i started my first blog MakeMeNoise.
After launching my first blog, my way to success has been cleared and finally i got some reasons to continue my blog, following are my reasons:
1. It helps me to improve my writing skills.
2. It helps me to improve my English ( I am agree with you).
3. It helps me to get connected with skilled people on social networking sites.
4. I make money through my blog.
5. It improves my creativity.
6. I got exposure in my college specially among girls. :p
7. It gives me global exposure.
and many more and finally i am happy with my blog.
Thank You
Hello Avinash, You’ve mentioned some great reasons there. I think you’ve similar reasons as mine, but I think Internet marketing business can make more money than a blog if we do it in right way.
When I was in Karachi, Pakistan I was also thinking to start internet marketing because many of my friends were doing it, but I don’t know what stopped me to enter in internet marketing and I entered in Blogging field. I’m happy with my blog.
Thanks for your comment Avinash, I really appreciate it.
Ehsan These are some beautiful reasons about blogging. However, In my case, I started blogging just for making money, but later on after earning some good cash from Online Work, I realized that I am not good at all, in Writing, English and designing.
So, I started learning these three things and tried to improve them day by day. After that I blog for learning, improving, having , making , get ideas and yeah
Making Money!
I can’t believe that some people starts a blog without any knowledge on writing and blogging, but they makes good income from their blog, while some other who have a good writing skills + Other skills, but they fail on earning money from their blog.
BTW, I’m really happy to know that you’re not only making money from your blog, but also learning and improving your English and writing skills.
Keep it up my friend.
It is little bit addictive. may be that’s why i am blogging becuase i am not earning much
Hey Guppu, I hate short comments like this. I want you to give me at least two or three reasons on why do you blog? YEah, It’s the reality that everyone wants to make money with their blog, but here I’m talking about other than money !
Blogging is my passion. I also blog to earn and learn
Gautham, I think only you’ve told me the truth. I also want to be an entrepreneur and want to build a business through my blog.
Appreciate your comment !
Well I love to blog because I love to do it :p But yeah it is really improving my English.
That mean you’re blogging just to improve your English right? You don’t wanna make money with it?
Hi Ehsan,
I agree with all the reasons you gave on why you blog.
As of me, I blog because I am want to share my travel experiences to fellow travellers and to my readers as a whole. I feel accomplished whenever I get comments about my hard work. It encourage me to improve my works whenever other people appreciates my writing. I am glad that although I am new in blogging (barely 10 months), I can feel the support of those who read and learn from my blog.
Hey Freddie,
Welcome to my blog, I’m happy you stopped by my friend. Yeah, that is common answer. These days If I ask from any blogger “Why do you blog?” He would say that I blog to share my thoughts with others related in my niche, but the reality is something else
Am I right Freddie?
I like what I do and am happy that I can help fellow travellers through blogging. Oh well, you gave me an idea. In this case, I will be glad if you can share other ways of getting monetary gains through blogging. I guess you know something that I don’t!
I mean to say that the reality is something else is that most Bloggers are blogging only to make money, but if you ask them they would say “I’m blogging because it is my hobby or passion” Or something like “I’m blogging to share my thoughts with others”
I blog because of the same reasons as you do. All of the above. Little bit of every thing. I suppose if everything is kept in a good balance then blogging is a great way to meet other bloggers and have fun at the same time.
You’re right Shalu, Blogging is great way to connect with great people and also to have fun. I’m happy you stopped by Shalu.
Hello Ehsan,
I blog because I wanted to share my art with people so that I can improve with people opinion. I blog because I love to help others. I blog because I wanted to make people happier. I blog because that’s the only way to become a part of other peoples life even if you live far away, I blog because I want, because I love it.
And If you love anything, if you feel pleasure in doing anything then you don’t need a reason to do that things. Because you already have your reason and that is happiness.
Hello Romy my friend,
You’re one of the most serious and enjoyable Blogger I have ever seen. And also you’re one of favorite too. What I can say about you is that I love your writing style, I love your blog and I love what you do.
You have shared only those reasons of why do you blog is which benefits only your blog readers, not you. I want to ask from you that do you also want to make money from your blog or are you already making money from it?
Ehsan, I have been following your blog for a couple of months now and I have noticed your English gets better after every post. I know that English is one of the hardest languages to learn, so keep up the good work and keep learning
I mainly started blogging because I thought it would be fun, but since I’m 15 and can’t work anywhere until I’m 16 (that’s the law here in the United States), blogging is a great way for me to make some extra cash.
Hey Ian,
I’m one of the luckiest Blogger to have a reader like you. Thank you very much for following my blog, I hope you’ve got learn a lot here. I’m also one of the follower of Omega Web!
You’re right. I’m also feeling that after entering in Blogosphere my English is improving day by day and also my writing skills.
Are you serious? Are you really 15 years old? Is that picture which you’re using as Gravatar image you?
Yes, my Gravatar is me. That’s a picture of me when we went kayaking one day.
If so than I don’t think you are 15 years old
You are lying me right?
Why would I lie about that? You can even look at my Facebook!
i dont really know what i blog for :p i am still trying to figure it out
Hi Ehsan,
Really good points there. it’s definite that every blogger has a reason for blogging though the most open to all is making money with your blog.
For me though I started out with the mind of building a business through blogging I’ve discovered that it has greatly helped me as a writer. I have more confidence now as a writer and though I always loved to be a writer without really knowing how to begin, blogging has removed most of my fears.
Besides, the joy of knowing that my blog is helping a whole lot of people all over the world, is unimaginable. Blogging has become my platform for truly expressing my ideas and expertise without any hindrance. Frankly with blogging I’m living a life I never knew I could live! I have made friends I never imagined knowing!
Right now blogging is really about the money but the joy within that I can never really explain!
Hey Chadrack, That mean you’re blogging just to make money right?
I also started blogging with the mind of making money from, but now I’m really feeling joy with it which I also can’t explain.
BTW, I’ve visited one of your other blog (other than webincomejournal.com) but faced a problem by leaving a comment there. I think you were using the default WordPress.com comments section which were asking for username and password of WordPress.com yo leave a comment, I want you to fixed that.
Anyway, Thanks for stopping by.
If you ask me why I’m blogging. I have several reasons for doing the same. Like I want to share my expertise about different topics with my readers and at the same time want to make some money from my expertise as solely rely on blogging for earning my living.
Hi Anil,
I must welcome you here at my blog because I think this is your first comment here and also thanks for sharing your reasons here. I hope you’re making good money from your blog.
Well said Ehsan. I do blog for various reasons but mainly because I enjoy sharing what I know with others.
Blogging has also enabled me connect with many different great people. That’s not to mention that my blog helps me get clients for my writing business.
So your dad thinks you waste lots of time on your laptop?I sometimes have similar issues with my old folks who think I should spend all the time reading my college books.
thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing your reasons here. Yeah, I know it doesn’t happens with me only.
Thanks for your comment Norbert.
Ehsan I really like all of your reasons that why you blog. I specially love 3rd one. Thanks so much for sharing.
Best of Luck!
Yeah, That’s right Abdol. Blogging has really helped me to connect with like minded people from all around the world and it also helped me to build a good relationship with those peoples.
Thanks for stopping by.
Ehsan,
You know what a great work you done here because every bloggers should know this that why he/she is doing this,only for fun or to get huge knowledge from here.I comment on here and other post because i get some very interesting and informative to improve my skills and can make me good one.
well this is good that you are going very good and i can make good to myself at high level.
THANKS for DOING SUCH A WONDERFUL WORK.:)
Hey Bhushan, Thanks for your kind words here, I’m glade you think that I did a great work here.
BTW, You didn’t share why do you blog?
Hey Ehsan,
I blog because it allows me to share what I know, and if one person finds the information useful or learns something then the post has done its job. Also I blog because I like web-design and nerdy things related to websites so its the perfect match fro me.
Thanks Simmeon for sharing your thoughts regarding blogging. I think you’ve same thinking as me. Blogging is not only let’s us to share what we know, but also it gives us some great friends like you, Am I right Simmeon?
