Why do you blog?
May 1st, 2007 by danMy friend Dennis from WirelessJobs.com, a prolific blogger as a matter of fact, asks a really good question:
Why do you blog?
Here are some pointers he adds:
~ Why do you blog?
~What do you prefer to blog about?
~Where do you receive your inspiration from?
~Who do you write your blog for?
~How much has blogging impacted your company’s recruiting brand?
~When do you find the time to blog?
Here are my reasons, folks:
- I blog because I got a lot of inside industry stuff to share! A blog is a wonderful platform to network, meet fellow geeks, enforce a stand point, build a personal brand and secure a wonderful career! It doesn’t get better than this mix used properly.
- I blog about what a 25 year old Romanian WiFi entrepreneur is interested in, follows or plans on doing.
- my work and the tools I use are my inspiration. I often spend a tremendous amount of time in WiFi’ed coffee shops where everything in the wireless world happens. No, it doesn’t happen in fancy glass skyscrapers offices!
- I blog for a rather small audience. It’s not being ignorant but I learned a few valuable readers are worth writing for more than having thousands of people who never come back. Among the few are fellow entrepreneurs, podcasters, bloggers, geeks and industry chaps. If my blog suddenly became mainstream I’d adapt this strategy to accommodate all my readers. But that’s maybe to far ahead.
- the companies I run have not been exposed to such extent as to cover the brand of the blog itself.
- it’s not ‘when’! it’s ‘why’! If it’s worth blogging, I’ll do it in my pajamas!
I’d like to hear what reasons my fellow bloggers have. So tell me! Why do you blog?

Because I like to make reviews, to talk about nice things, and maybe to monetize it in the near future.

I humbly hope that my insights and anecdotes inspire.
