Many bloggers ponder over this question after being asked what it was that turned them onto blogging. The most common answers are to make money online, a way to express events in their daily lives, a way to share things that they were interested in or passionate about, to make friends and hear what’s going on around the world, or all of the above. These days there are even more reasons why people have turned to blogging.
Who Blogs?
There seems to be a space and niche for anyone looking to start a blog. Every man, woman, and child seems to have one. Blogging has become a way for teachers to reach their students in schools and learning institutions, a way for SAHM’s (stay at home moms) and homemakers to create self owned online businesses and social groups. There are many support groups, doctors and those in the medical profession, artists, hobbyists, and even famous stars and entertainers, all online with their own personal reasons as to why they’ve started.
The Question
But what we want you to do right now is direct the question to yourself. Think back on what brought you to the bloggers here, and express what you have learned or are learning from your blogging experience. If you are a veteran to all this, please share how it was for you in the beginning as compared to where you are with blogging now. Did you hit the ground running with success or was it all new and you spent a lot of time trying to figure it all out? If you are a newbie to blogging your experience is just as important to us. Share how it feels being a new kid on the block. What problems you are facing, and what you’d like to achieve or to improve?

I rarely leave responses, but after reading a few of the comments on this page Why Did I Start Blogging? | Sara Sentor: Small Business, Internet Marketing and Blogging. I do have a couple of questions for you if you don’t mind. Is it only me or do a few of these responses come across like they are left by brain dead folks?
And, if you are writing at other social sites, I would like to keep up with you. Would you list of all of all your shared sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

Quite interesting Feature. I believe you always obtain that which you pay for. Costly objects or even services more than often turn out to be a lot more responsible, also come in more beneficial quality of elements and support services and they are generally worth the money. Certainly that isn’t a rule. I think I prefer the very best in luxury goods and services.

Put in on the resume, be sure to point out you were self employed during that time. Potential employers will want to know why you were out of the work force that long. They might think you were being lazy, or in prison. Better to answer questions before they arise.
