There is a reason why I ask this question.No..it is not because I face this problem,and I do hope and pray that this will not be a problem to me in the future because it can bring some effect to my blog and have to make me think back if this is certainly the things I want and love to do.
The Reason I Start Blogging.
Before I start about the title of my post,lets just share a few things.I started blogging early this month,not with this blog,but with another that I started because I was thinking of making money with it.After two weeks doing it,I found out that it is not that what I really want.No..I didn't stop and abandoned it after just two weeks,instead I still write my post once in every two days just like when I started it,the only difference I made is in the content.Rather than writing about how to make money online,I write about things you must expect if you want to make money online,and reminding people not to become victim of scams that make believe you can make money fast and easy online.
The Reason People Start Blogging.
When I see other people blogs,I look for when it was started,how frequent the posting was,what the blog is about,the quality of the post,what is there on the blog.Through all this,I came up with this three reason why people start a blog and keep on blogging.

- They want to share things happenings in their life,or things that they find interesting and share it with others with the same interest.Most of this blogs have been around for at least a year.There are a few new one too,and some of it I find interesting.
- They start blogging because it was taught by the Internet Marketing Guru's as the best way to start making money online because blogs are free.They write randomly and with variety of contents because they don't have any specific interest other than making money.Their blog have less or non quality contents,and even if it has,it might be articles from other sources.It is full of ads banner,text ads and links to money making sites.
- They first started blogging because they love to,but seems to be getting nowhere,or lost interest on their blog,and make a turn around when they realize that blogging can actually get you some cash through GPT programs(Get Paid To..click an ad,surf the web,do surveys,read emails.you can even get paid to post!)
Do You Have Problem To Write A Post?
I came across this girl problem in one of the forum I joined.She ask if any one can gave her any suggestion on what to write on her next post.Two things come to mind immediately.

- She really needs help.
- She is using the forum as a platform to promote her blog.
I respond because of the first,and I will give my view on the second later.I view her blog.Looks nice to me.Her latest post was about her thoughts on something,what interest me is the variety of her posting.It is a new blog,she has post about a movie review,book review and other things.I think she hasn't decide what her blog should be before she started it,and by looking at it,I think she is trying to imitate what other blogs is about,and try to squeeze it into her blog.There is nothing wrong about it,but looking back at her question,and looking at her blog,I think she must look back at the reason why she started her blog.
- Don't start a blog just for the sake of having a blog.
- Don't start a blog having it will make money for you attitude.
- Don't start a blog to imitate what others are doing.
- Don't start a blog if you actually don't have anything to share.
- Do start a blog if you have something that interest you and you know there are lots of people who you would like to share it with.
- Do start a blog if it is really something you love to do.
- Do start a blog if not getting anything from it doesn't bother you,and even after getting some rewards from it you still do it because you love to,not because to gain more rewards.
The reason you start a blog will actually have an impact on what you will achieve with it.
What People Will Do Just To Get Attention(And Traffic)
People join forums for a lot of different reason,but most of all is to get traffic by exposing yourself and your blogs to other forum members.Some would do just anything to gain this,by posting simple question like that girl did,by replying to as much thread as possible,and in the shortest of time(They hope people will look up to them because of the number of post/their status in forums),self promoting threads(Some forums doesn't allow this and you will be banned),and so much more.Join one and you will know what I mean.
One thing that I see most people forget is,you won't have such a big problem to drive traffic to your blogs.You can have any approach,with or without ethical value,its up to you,and you will see results.But what is the point of driving thousands of traffic if you don't have anything to show?Most people that are seriously trying very hard to drove traffic to their blogs,or websites are people involve in making money programs,because the Guru's taught them TRAFFIC = MONEY!What a lie and who would be a fool to believe this.Traffic means people VISITING your site,if you cannot turn them into CUSTOMERS,you don't get MONEY!If your site are just like thousands or millions other site promoting the same thing,what makes you think you are different,and that people will buy or join from your site?
Blogs are about content,and people everyday are looking for contents that interest them,can add value to their life,or to the knowledge they already have.If you can provide this,and provide it consistently,then you will have TRAFFIC and LOYAL READERS.
I certainly have to thank that girl,because of her forum post,I can make a post to my blog today!Just my point of adding how looking at things you do daily can provide source for your blog.
