What Motivate You To Blog?

April 23st, 2008

Written by Mr Javo

Hello my fellow bloggers, first at all I want to say sorry because the last week I wrote 2 or 3 articles, vs my usual daily writing. Also, these articles were not too informative, but you need to understand I have being very busy with my studies, robotics and other things I do, parallel to blogging.

 

I had this topic about 2 weeks ago, but I had not the opportunity to post it before :smile:. The big question of this post is what motivate you to blog? That is a good question that many people don’t have a clear idea.

 

The last month, I saw how my subscribers increased daily, and that was something I liked very much. But as well as my subscribers increased, decreased my daily visits. In addition of this, I stopped to blog for a week and I saw my visit’s chart with a negative slope, and I have to say that I felt bad.

 

In addition of that, many of my readers sent me an e-mail, asking me why I stopped to blog. I received like 20 emails, and I thank you to everybody who wrote me, because that gave me the force to keep doing what I do here.

 

About two weeks ago, I was invited to use SocialSpark in its alpha phase (now beta), which made me feel important in the blogging community :cool:. However, I joined to the new IZEA’s program, and I have to say I found it very cool. I have took a couple of opportunities, being approved quickly.

 

But although I could not write daily, I kept checking my statistics, rankings and comments in every community. When I saw my rankings after the week I stopped to blog, Mr. Javo dot Com dropped some positions. That, combined with the other factors I mentioned above, motivated me to write again :grin:.

 

I thought on what I have being doing here, and how I was progressing with the pass of the months. I thought I was dropping all my work through the window, and immediately I start to write again :grin:. I talked with fellow bloggers, and they told me that happens, so I took it easy.

 

Do you have experimented something like that? Feel free to share your story with everybody in this community.

Lots of things motivate me I think. Sometimes though I am stumped as to what to write - so I won’t. I figure quality is better then quantity.

Technorati rankings and my subscriber number in some way does motivate me to blog but not all the way. I would say layout changes have the biggest effect since I feel like it’s a brand new thing I started and my passion will be revived. So I make it a habit to design a new layout once every few months to rekindle that fire to write. :)

you’re studying robotics? why not start a blog on robotics where you help andshare info with other students?

Hey Jansie, I study Telecommunications Engineering, and I’m on a robotics group on my university… I joined this year, so I’m a little noob on the area. But thanks for the idea, I will reconsider it :smile: .

I don’t usually force myself to blog daily, I just post whenever some interesting news comes up, or if I have an idea that my readers might like.

Getting a traffic surge on one of my blogs usually brings my attention to it, though. That usually gets me thinking again, which leads to more posts.

I really do not know what motivated me to blog. At first, I only put up a blog for my online portfolio. Now, I wanted to make money online! :lol:

Hhaha, well the money is a powerful influence on this business, but eventually, if you don’t like the niche, you will leave it :grin:

If you keep updating your blog daily and you suddenly start posting less often… then your traffic may decrease… it is only natural… I always try to write either daily, or every second day to give my readers as much information as they deserve… My motivation to blog is that I love to write about my experiences, my opinion and my knowledge of certain areas.

Great post!
