Why Do You Blog?
My Sixth Entry (for Saturday) In a series of 7 for “7 Day Blogging Challenge for Bloggers”
from Jenson Taylor
The other day while browsing through the net I noticed an interesting notification from Blogger Buzz on their blog page. “Why do you blog? was the title given to that content? That title attracted my attention since I too belong to the blogger community.
I was going on thinking for quite some time about the non-responsiveness of Google’s Knol pages.
Since the response from Google’s Knol page platform was so dull and discouraging these days, I was concentrating mainly on my blogging. and was spending much time on blogging and blog-related matters like reading followers’ blogs and posting comments and attending responses to my blog posts, etc.
In short, I was actively involved in these activities, even neglecting the household things, sometimes even to the dissatisfaction of my beloved ones, especially my better half.
I really appreciate her patience towards me even when I neglect most of the household chores and sit in front of the computer. That was indeed now a sweet memory.
Sad to say that she is no more and departed to glory on October 4 2020 due to a cardiac arrest.
When I was thinking about this line for quite some time, and immediately when I saw the said blog, I thought this was the right time to do some jottings on this line, thus this small note.

Why do I blog? I asked myself and I wrote:
I blog mainly to express my love towards my fellow human beings, and to share my happiness and the blessings I received through my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And also to make aware to my fellow beings through my blog posts about the great calamity human beings going to face if they neglect God’s Word.
And then also I blog, to make notes or share the important and helpful news and tips I learned on the journey with my fellow beings around the world. I firmly believe that this will surely help some needy out there.
Why do I blog? I asked myself and I wrote... @philipscom Share on XMy Favourite Quote
One of my favorite quotes: As I quite often repeat and quote in my conversations or writings is one of the founding fathers of the United States of America, “Benjamin Franklin” He once said and I repeat: “If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading or do things worth the writing.”
And last, but not least I am reminded of Apostle Paul’s words when he was writing to the believers at Philippi:
“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.” (Philippians Chapter 4: verses 8 and 9 – Holy Bible). 
I want to really stick to these words and to do something worth for the entire humanity as long as I live.

A Blogger Without A Blog – My Interview With Reji Stephenson
Blog Content What Type? Short form Or Long form?
Just the other day I received a notification from one of my online friends Julia McCoy about her recent research work and wondered what long-form content can do.
All these years I was having the impression that short is sweet as people are busy with their activities and on the run, a short message or a short video will be a great help for the majority of such people, but Julia’s findings proved that my impressions are wrong. Just listen to her latest video:

You know? if I were asked this question in last few years, I will immediately say that I’m doing business with blogging. However, I change my mind since 2013 when I was jobless.
At the year, I divorced, quit my job, and wasted all money I had. I didn’t what to do anything and nowhere to go. I was extremely down in my life.
Every day, in the morning, my mom give $2.5 for coffee. You know? What was the feeling of 30 years old who gets money from his mom! Was it complete and utterly terrible?
Okies! Let me tell how I spent that $2.5. It cost me $1.25 for a cup of coffee and a pack of cigarette. The rest is for internet fee. At that time, I only want to make some extra money for paying my daily expense. I worked over 15 hours a day with blogging and MLM company.
The hard working gave me a good result, I could monetize my blog and have some money for paying stuff such as hosting services, blogging requirement, and other fees. I don’t need my mom’s money in the morning. I have money for travel in the local country, but I didn’t.
However, I dream about to appear in somewhere of the globe with my old friends.
You know? only 2 places you can find me in Cambodia. My home and at a coffee shop as I don’t want to go anywhere. It seems other than blogging make me isolated, but I didn’t think i am isolated, instead i was surrounded with lots of bloggers, and they motivate me to move on and I enjoy that environment, spending time with those people.
I firmly believe that one day, I will meet up with some of them.
Thanks Philip for sharing your experiences.
Have a good day
~ Kim
Hi Kim,
Thank you so much for share some of the life experiences you encountered in relation with blogging.
The real life experience you shared is really interesting. Yes, a kind of isolation we all feel sometimes, but on the other side in the virtual world, it is no doubt we are surrounded a big group of friends.
that itself is indeed a real joy to many of us.
May your dream come true in the coming days.
I am so sorry for the delay in responding to this wonderful feedback.
May you have a great time ahead.
Keep sharing
Season’s Greetings to you and yours. Have a Prosperous New Year 2017.

Hi Brother Phil,
After reading the thought provoking post, I came across two things that is happening in my life too. Blogging takes up a large amount of our free time and most of the time we even forget to do certain household things that are also very important. It will definitely a little bit annoying to other family members when we sit for a long time before the computer. I think we should try our level best to manage time for everything to be done in proper time. Also, I agree with you that blogging is also a good tool to spread the word of God that we forget to do many times in life.
Thanks again for the wonderful post.
Have a great time.

Great piece.
I just wanted to know, this information you’ve accrued, have you come to these realizations as a result of your writing /blogging?
Also. I have been toying with the idea of starting my own blog a few years ago since then I have a feeling that I will never express my thoughts fully. I have a feeling that I could always add something. I have so much I would like to share as well as converse about. I have so many questions of like to put….
Hey Philip!
I just keep coming back to your great blog. For me blogging is my life, I can’t imagine my day without writing!
Thanks for sharing your experiences in relation to blogging. Keep sharing. :-)
All the best!

Hi Philip,
What a great answer of that question, why do you a blog?
Most of the bloggers used to earn money they don’t pay attention towards their readers.
Their main aim is only to get some click or traffic etc. but they forget about their readers or followers.

Maqbool Azam
For most of us, blogging means, to make money online. Many of the bloggers start their blogging journey to make decent money online and to leave the 9-5 private jobs. For me, blogging is the way to make money online and it opens many doors for doing this.
Thanks for the nice post, Sir.
Nice Article! Well written must inspire for all bloggers sir. @Philip
Hi Phil,
I blog because I have a lot of myself to share with the world, And because since I discovered that you can make money online- I want that for myself too.
It’s a challenge for sure, but a worthy goal to strive for.

Hello Philip,
Mostly people blog to reveal their passion in deep, it may include helping to people or generating revenue.
Blogging provides us incredible platform to spread your native information and knowledge on specific topic. Every blog helps other people in their own way.
This will open you a lot of doors that you might have not been aware of or dreamed of. Eventually, thanks for sharing your wonderful experience with us.
With best wishes,

I do write sometimes. Because sharing knowledge is something that always triggers me.
Great information for a new blogger…
A lot of things to pick and follow.
It is really a helpful post for me.
Thanks for sharing.
I indeed loved your answer for your own question as to “Why do I blog?” Blogging is an option for online earning for hundreds of thousands of bloggers in India today. However, it’s not just about writing and earning. You know, it teaches us more in life too. As for me, I learned to leave things behind as these things do happen in our blogging career. And is helpful in our real lives too.
Also, you (any blogger) should learn to be patient about things and that must be in our lives too. And about learning and reading? Yup. blogging teaches us to learn and read. For a writer, it’s vital that you first read. Reader first then a writer!!!

Hi there…
I commented on your blog because I really “felt” to do it. So, whatever I wrote automatically came out from within. And I jotted down everything else. I could have gone a bit longer and I would have made a short article… LOL!!!
And thanks for making me aware of the commenting policies. And even though I overlooked it in the heat of reading the actual article, I didn’t miss my mark (pat…pat)
But I browsed through your other articles and found that there are the same policies that you included everywhere. This really makes sense as any article anyone opens, he will see the policies. Cool!
Hello Philip,
The first paragraph of this article is very humble and heart touching. How easy to be distracted from your closed one when you are too much into your computer and it is the most common problem these days.
We blog because we love it and the ultimate goal is to earn as well as to have quality time with our dear one.
Thanks for expressing your thoughts on this topic and your true heart to serve us.

[…] keep readers on the page and make them review the entire article. So if you give serious thought on why you’re blogging, which is to help others, you’d want to make your blog posts highly-informative and […]
Knols! Those were the days! When you first mentioned them I thought “what!” but then I remembered, I used to add to them too. I can’t remember when they went, but at that point I was on my own website adding content there. Since then Google has had a few things, they just never seem to last!

Thanks for this inspiring article! Well I must be honest when I first set out with my first blog, the reason was because I see a lot of people making a living out of it, so I ventured in…….but along the line I fell in love with blogging and then I set up another blog….so answering the question why do you blog? I blog because I have the passion and zeal to dish out my knowledge to the outside world and of course to make a living
We blog because we love it and the ultimate goal is to earn as well as to have quality time with our dear one.
Thanks for expressing your thoughts on this topic and your true heart to serve us.
Some do it for fun some do it for money some to share their thought and some want to spread knowledge maybe this covers the question of why people blog.
I love the quote by Benjamin Franklin. I shall have to add it to my favorites.
Thanks for sharing your experiences online.
