Great post man, especially the one about it’s CHEAP to start. I love that, it’s so true.

That’s a good point. It’s always good to cut back on the number of emails we send/receive.

By having a blog you also lessen the need to email people. “Here’s some useful links I thought you’d like to see”. How many of us get spammed with that every week? Also, you can share your thoughts with friends who can hit your blog instead, rather than you flooding their inboxes every other day.

Glad you liked the post Vered. It’s definitely worth sticking with it, just remember not to put too much pressure on yourself.

Wow. What a thoughtful post. I started blogging ten days ago and I must say I’m a little surprised at the amount of work it takes to keep up a blog. Not a day goes by without me doubting myself, wondering if it was such a good idea to start this, and whether I have what it takes to keep it up (basic writing talent, discipline and perseverance come to mind). Thank you for this post, I will keep at it for a while and see how I feel in a few months time.

Great post. It resonates perfectly with me and what I’ve been thinking about from my own blog. I definitely agree about the many reasons to start a blog aside from doing it for money, but I don’t recommend everyone starting a blog. People need desire to have the things on the list, not money. So many people seem to think it will be easy though, and don’t really have a plan or a hope that these types of things will be valuable from publishing their ideas.

Interesting read. My blog has opened up so many opportunities that I don’t think I’d still be self-employed if I didn’t publish online. Best of luck with your own online endeavors.

How about a ninth reason – It’s just good plain fun? Good article though. I just kept agreeing with every point you made.
