Reasons for writing a blog
Hey Guys!
Today's post is actually for my work assignment (RJ), which requires me to come up with reasons for writing a blog.
So, Leggo!
REASON 1
PUBLICITY
What's that? That is the notice or attention given to someone by the media, or in simpler words, it is public exposure. Some bloggers out there blog to get famous. They want to create a name for themselves and get attention from the public, and some of them do this by starting really controversial topics like Mr
Brown.
REASON 2
TO INFLUENCE
In this world, there will be people out there whom would want to influence you with their own beliefs or view points. They would blog about certain things that they feel very strongly of, and this might have an influence on the public. Some bloggers also use their blogs to inspire people. They want their writings to affect people and create change.
An example of such a blogger would be
Xiaxue.
She is brutally honest in her blog and she does not bother to hold back her views. As a result, she has attracted many viewers and had even won the
'Most influential blog' award for the NuffNang Asia Pacific Blog Awards 2011.
REASON 3
BUSINESS
Business? What business could you actually get from writing, you might question. Well, in this era, blogging can be used for brand or name building. For example, a shares expert may blog about his area of expertise, and share beneficial information in his blog, along with his contact information. If the public finds his information helpful, he would then gain publicity and people would start contacting him for advice. From then on, his business reputation would then grow.
Another example would be blog shopping. Girls whom love to blog shop would definitely know of the site
ButteredGun. This blog offers many apparels and it is applicable to order it from them online. By setting up a blog, they have attracted many customers and have also gave them a good shopping experience.
In addition, sites like
NuffNang also pays bloggers for holding advertisements in their blogs. An example of such a blog would be my blog! For every time an advertisement is held on my blog, I get paid for it. The more clicks that the advertisement manages to generate, the more money is earned. These days, blogs are also used for quick online profits.
REASON 4
PERSONAL JOURNALS
Last but not least, some of us uses blogging as a online diary. We write about our daily lives, and on certain days where we're
moody, we even vent our frustrations on it. We blog about our personal experiences, thoughts and views.
All in all, there are many reasons for blogging, and every blog serves a different purpose!
Anddddd, that is all for my RJ today!
Love,
Natalie Ishot
