I’ve been Tagged — Why on Earth Do I Blog?

by Gayla McCord on May 10th, 2007

I’ve traced this meme as far back as Liz Strauss who was asked “Why on Earth do you blog?” Now I’ve been asked the same question by George Manty of Can I Make Big Money Online.

If you are tagged then you can write a post with a link back to the person who has tagged you, write a list of 5 reasons why you are blogging and finally, add a list of 5 other bloggers you want to tag with this question.

~*~*~*~*~*~ Why On Earth Do I Blog? ~*~*~*~*~*~

1. Family ~ I was a single mom for several years and my greatest hope was to find a means of making a living online that would afford me the luxury of spending all the time with my kiddos that I could. Blogging made that possible! Now I have a husband and four kids and blogging allows my life to be more full of family then work.

2. Community ~ I have several blogs and the purpose for each varies to great degree. From health seduction, support and awareness to providing a free tool that could help make other parents dreams of staying at home a reality. And being in a location where job loss is so great, I wanted to make my own little contribution to locals to help keep them on their feet.

3. Knowledge ~ Through blogging, I learn more about my Community, State, Country and World and all the amazing people in it!

4. Profit ~ I’m a Work at Home Mom so naturally profit is going to be a large part of this total equation. I’ve been very blessed that way.

5. Legacy ~ I think we’d all like to feel like we’ve left our mark in this world somehow. Through blogging, I occasionally feel like I’ve touched someone’s life in a way that’s made their world just a little bit brighter.

And of course friendships! I’ve cultivated some of the most wonderful friendships through blogging. Sometimes I feel as though I could go anywhere in the world and find someone I know.

There you have it! All the reasons why I blog!

Now, I’d like to see just why…
