Writing a Blog? What do I Need?

A few days ago I wrote about writing a blog- and how you can continue to see success.   Not only that but writing a blog is a very freeing exercise for anyone who wants to expand on helping out others online.

It’s very true writing a blog is both fun and challenging for most people when they begin the process of blogging. It is also true that we need one another, to sell our products and books, but to build relationships. Writing a blog means that one needs to ask, why do I write a blog?

My own answers to this question are probably similar to your own:

I write a blog because I love to write.  This is what started it all a need to share and build relationships with my readers.  I had an idea and I wanted to expand on it as best I could.  Blogging has become a big passion in my life and as I grow as a writer and blogger, I want to share to more people, and this means marketing myself.

Writing a blog is challenging and unique, it pushes my comfort zone.  There is such a thing as a writing life, and writing is one of the ways a person can make income should they step out of their comfort zone.  A blog- by its worldwide nature can do this for me.

Writing a blog can be fast, and a way to connect with people.  Connecting with people is the only way to grow and to accept and expand your limits as a person and writer.  I need to write a blog to connect with people who live far away from my corner of earth.

You can write a blog anywhere.  You just need a laptop.

Thinking about writing a blog? For the most part it’s free- anyone can start a blog on the blogger platform and on wordpress.  All you require is a willingness to learn and become a better writer.

Writing a blog means a connection with people who are awesome bloggers. They show a lot of growth and teach me about the many things about blogs I need to learn.  Some of them are about search engines but others are about making the right connections with other writers.

    When I started my blog at the beginning of 2006, I needed for a platform to develop my interest in creative writing. Specifcally, writing children's stories. At the time, I was a senior journalist for a daily, specialising in telecommunications. I was more known for asking CEO and CTOs of technology companies uncomfortable questions, and I was kinda shy about letting out other aspects of my creative life. Took me months before I would even admit I blogged,and it never failed to fluster me when I learnt that people I had dealings with as a journalist actually read my blog.

    Now that I've embraced all aspects of my writing interests, my blog has evolved into a place where I hang out to make new friends/stay in touch with old friends. It's also a place where I market my services and promote all my writing projects.

    I started my blog as a promotional tool, but now I just rally enjoy it. It's funny– as soon as I started just having fun writing more about writing and publishing (things that I love) the followers and comments increased.

    WHEN I STARTED MY BLOG, it was centered around the thought that I want a platform where some of my original pieces can be published and viewed by others from all corners of the globe.

    NOW THAT IT'S MORE THAN A YEAR OLD, I am waiting for it to bear some fruits in the form of a decent job/writing proposal coming my way.
