Yesterday I registered another domain in Godaddy. And I am actually a little shamed about myself. I have blogged for a long time, perhaps for two or three years, but I have never really focus on my blogs. It is easy to set up a wordpress blog, like people said, in just five minutes. But to make a successful blog takes years. So as the new year is just beginning, I am gonna make myself a plan and start from scratch. That’s why I bought the new domain ( I will try, though I know it is hard)
So back to today’s topic: why do you have blogs. As we know, there are hundreds of sites flying around the cyberspace, and they provide almost everything we need to know, what is the point of having blogs? I gave it a second thought and listed several reasons below. Let’s just have a look at these ones.
Number 1: It is really easy to set up blogs. Blogger or wordpress are good places where you can hold your blogs. If you would like to have an investment, you can buy a domain and host service. And it’s cheap really. You can earn your money back or, make it a big deal, if you know how to blog your way out. AdSense or link sell are always fantastic ways of making money online. As a matter of fact, there are now too many junk blogs. Perhaps my blog is one of them. I am going to do something.
Number 2: It is easy to update my blog regularly with current news or hot topics so as to share ideas with people. For example, Google was planning to leave China; the world economy is recovering. Besides, I can add my views and when people leaves their comments. Well, I am always waiting for people’s comments. Comments on blogs means I am one step further towards the success of my blog.
I also quoted several views from other people below.
“I blog to share ideas, spark debate, learn, inform and express my thoughts and opinions. ”
“I started Reportr.net when I started teaching at the University of British Columbia. As a professor of new media, I felt I should practice what I preach, so the blog was a way of establishing a professional presence online. It was also a way to share ideas and thoughts on trends in media, society and technology, engaging with others with similar interests. Perhaps its greatest value professionally has been as a living notebook that is shared online. The blog has turned into a valuable archive for my research, which I can access from anywhere and find anything via search.”
“I started to blog recently, for business reasons. I just started my own company, Betta Book Publishing, and thought blogging would help me connect with my clients, authors, readers, etc. My blogs provide information about my company, my clients, my (soon-to-be) authors, writers (as I provide advice and tips), and other information I feel is relevant to share. It’s been a great experience so far, and I look forward to expanding my Site and blog in the future!”
