whats the point of a blog

[totters_traders]

hi guys, for all you guys who own blogs or blog pages , what is the main reason for you doing it? is it to make money from advertising fees or to gain exposure to something else that you do? how oftne do you update the main blog page? do people charge subscription fees to blog pages? jsut a few questions i have as im pretty new to this idea and have never really looked into it in any great detail.
cheers

Different strokes for different folks.

Some people do it to make money from ad revenue, some do it just because they enjoy it, some do it for recognition, some do it to promote other businesses, some probably have no clue why they do it.

do you have a blog? if so why do you do it

what are you writing a book? Easy sherlock
Like he said, their are people who blog for business (like me) - some who blog for exposure to an affiliated business, and some who blog for the heck of it.

I know a great deal of people who blog just because they'd rather post their personal journal up online and keep friends and family informed.

I wrote my first blogs here at my signature website. Not my personal website though.

I blog as an online diary of thoughts about my website.

Initially I want to make money from my blog. However, after blogging for 2 years, I found that I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others. At the same time, it also helps me to improve myself. The more I improve myself, the more I can share.
