All different types of people blog and there are endless reasons to blog. Here are some of the people who blog and why they blog.
- Students blog for all different reasons - voluntary or not. Whether they are blogging for class or blogging about gossip, a blog can help students get internships and jobs. Bottom line, blogs are a great addition to a resume.
I started blogging as a student not because I wanted to but because I had to. Now I blog for fun and to enhance my resume. My blog has already helped me land a job as a freelancer.
- Reporters blog to connect with users and make their job easier. Some reporters blog for "blograising" which is when they ask for financial contributions on their blog. You'd be surprised how many people actually donate.
- The unemployed blog because of the economic downturn. They blog to promote themselves and hopefully become employed or make money off of their blogs.
- The employed blog for personal branding and to save themselves from getting fired in this economic downturn. Some of the employed blog for company communications and to help with business.
- Good Samaritans blog for a cause. Some people blog to raise money for philanthropies.
- Many soldiers blog to keep in touch with people back home. Contact with loved ones is vital and hard to maintain but blogging makes it more accessible.
- Travelers blog to share information and to write about their travels and adventures.
- There are personal bloggers and professional bloggers. Some people blog for fun and some people blog to make money. Blogging is sometimes used as a diary. Other people blog to boost their professional career for resume enhancement.
Everyone blogs for their own reason but the blog topic you pick is always something you spend a good deal of time thinking about. You need to be an expert and basically obsessed with your blog topic, so choose wisely. I chose television shows because you will not find a person that is obsessed with more shows than I am. I dare you to try.
