Why did i start blogging :)

There is a huge talk in my office within my friends when they heard i started to blog . All of them asked me the same question since yesterday as to why i started to blog. So here’s why I blog:
I’m used to blogging: You don’t have to believe me, but I’ve been blogging since 2005, here and there, on and off. Irrespective of whether I publish posts regularly or not, not having a blog seems odd.
To share ideas: When you share ideas you think more about those ideas. By writing them and sharing them with the others you solidify your ideas. You also obtain others’ point of views on your ideas and this helps you expand your thinking.
To keep me up to date: Blogging forces me to read. Whether it is copywriting, content writing, blogging, social media, seo or even web development, I read to keep myself informed as well as get new ideas to write about. I constantly learn new things and improve the existing ones. For instance, I have learnt a lot about Apps DBA and other stuff related to my work by reading various blogs and by visiting forums.
To improve my writing: I take blogging seriously in terms of writing. My blog gives me enough space to write the way I want to write. My blog lets me express my feelings about what is happening around me through writing and I’m seeing a big change in the way I used two days earlier.
To earn money: Of course some day I’d like to earn money from my blog directly. I know considering the kind of effort I put in it is not going to happen for a long time, or may be it won’t happen ever because my priorities are different in life.
To make new friends: I have come to know quite a few people through blogging. There are so many great people around and blogs act as a meeting place.You go to other blogs and people come to your blog. By agreeing and disagreeing we all strike up conversations and this gives rise to great friendships which are always useful in the long run :)
