Why do you blog?
To have a reason is to have a purpose. Why do you blog?
I started Eye On Silicon as a small tech blog on my Ideologics website early 2008. I decided that it needed its own home, and promptly bought eyeonsilicon.com. Shortly afterwards I bought the .co.uk domain so I could invade the UK search engine.
After reading blogs for weeks on end about bloggers becoming rich from their writing, I thought I could do the same. Unlike some, I didn’t enter the blogosphere with high hopes of thousands of dollars every month – I openly accepted that it would take many many months before I saw a cent. Starting with such low expectations has helped me dedicate myself.
I blog for many reasons:
- Blogging is an outlet that allows me to run my thoughts and practice my trade.
- I have more than £20,000 worth of debt – I want to pay it off.
- Blogging has a sort of ‘exciting new’ feel to it. In some ways, it’s like pioneering.
- I want a passive income that will allow me to achieve other goals in my life – such as exploring the the US from the south to the north.
I discipline myself, and spend at least an hour a day writing. I make goals and try to attain them.
