Comments on: Blogging Survey Results: Why People Blog http://www.chrisg.com/why-people-blog/ Build your business by sharing what you know Mon, 06 Feb 2012 23:38:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Pali Madra http://www.chrisg.com/why-people-blog/#comment-9565 Pali Madra Tue, 15 Jul 2008 21:23:15 +0000 http://www.chrisg.com/blogging-survey-results-why-people-blog/#comment-9565 Chris thank you for sharing the results. I'm surprised by the number of people who blog for money - it is low. However, being a blogging enthusiast I'm happy. I realized that the reason blogs have been successful is because bloggers blog for pleasure and if that was not the case the content on the blogs would not be compelling as it is right now. In the end if blogging is done for pleasure everyone wins the blogger and the readers. Chris thank you for sharing the results. I’m surprised by the number of people who blog for money – it is low.

I haven't made much. But soon blogging became some sort of recreation for me. For me the reason why I blog is to make money <em>and</em> for pleasure.

I didn't realize such a large percentage are 'pleasure' bloggers. Maybe it is just me but that seems high. I think a lot of bloggers discount the small amounts they may make off advertising and consider themselves 'pleasure' only.

I've seen a lot of blogs being used to try to help people change their lives for the better but I guess that would probably go into either "For Pleasure" or "Promote Business". With the pie chart I still think bloggers are far from making money just by affiliate programs and advertising. It would be smarter to get a business license and sell the products that you are talking about. Video games for example... I blog to share information and to teach.

Of course, readers are welcome, all 4 of them :) And I think I don't take it too seriously either. Practicing my English and my writing skills, thinking out loud. Pure pleasure.
