@Troy – Yes a notebook of ideas is very useful, but I do advise people to only post when they have something to say. Fluff and filler serves nobody

@Ashok – I must admit I am guilty of buying domains and doing nothing with them

@Ricardo – Yup, if the passion is there it is much easier

@internet – It’s not so bad if you enjoy it, you *do* enjoy it don’t you?

@Kelly – I’m worried that adding a blog becomes just another job for people, what we need are more bloggers who thrive on the sharing and interaction

@Alexandra – I am glad to see you are inspiring others, keep it up

@SpaceAgeSage – There is nothing better than making a positive difference in the world

@BloggerNewbie – Some people are passionate about money for its own sake but I am afraid there needs to be more than just financial reward for most of us as Maslow once taught us

@jhay – No and in fact sometimes monetizing kills the joy, for example I tried to make money from photography and it took ages for me to find the simple pleasure in taking photographs afterwards

@Barry – Agreed, and with a blog you can see if there is a community there or simply an audience

@Shirazi – I think those who leave comments are demonstrating a liking for communication

@Ricardo – Yes, and nobody out there is scoring you, but don’t make a big public launch

@Jason – I think though the key is “drive you” – if you have no drive then why blog?

@Milinda – Yes, but caution is necessary when you represent a company or public persona. Best to quietly test using a personal, small blog if you are just trying it out

@NW – It can, but like public speaking, you can also harm your reputation by doing it big and badly

@Edward – One of the first things I ask is “what is your goal”. The answer can lead you in many different directions, but you need to start there.

@Taryn – VA people need a good connection to their potential customers, a blog is an excellent way to do that

@Bryan – Going in with the right attitude and mindset it can only be an advantage, though not everyone does go in that way

@raj – Yup, unfortunately right now it and social media are trumpeted as silver bullets

@Colin – Luckily there is something and somewhere for everyone

@Steve – I call draft articles “panic posts”, for days where it just doesn’t flow. That said, there is no harm in missing days.

I personally work, go to school, stay involved with different groups, and run my own business on the side and still have time to blog at least a little. I became more knowledgeable of current events and technology trends. I was also able to come up with more ideas for other entrepreneurial ventures down the road.

I think if you are an active blogger and communicate on other blogs you will see your network multiply and find yourself with wider eyes. I don’t see how either of these two things could be a disadvantage.

So it is not so much a full time experience for me, but an enhancement and marketing tool for my virtual assistant company.

However, if your are motivated, blogging about a topic you are passionate about, use plug ins and software to help make your blogging easier and the BIG ONE, truly want to help people… blogging is great.

I guess it all depends what the person hopes to get out of it.

Even a mere photo blog can go a long ways to increase traffic and credibility.
