When I began blogging over 3 years ago I had a different purpose in mind, and I could define it. Now, not so much. So I need to redefine my purpose for blogging. At least when I wonder why I haven’t been blogging lately I think this is what I need to do.
Part of the reason I wonder now about my blogging purpose more than before is because I will be writing once a week over on Talk’s blog. The posts I write there will be more technical in nature, but still information you all might enjoy here. This brings to question how to not burn out my blogging juices, and how I can bring the most value to you, while also being careful not to cannibalize my own content.
That said, I think there are a number of reasons why people blog, For example, having a platform to think their thoughts out on, or wanting to develop a personal brand, or wanting to become more involved with a specific conversation online, and I know the list goes on.
But I’d really like to hear what others feel their purpose for blogging is, and if you haven’t been blogging much lately, maybe it’s because you’re in the same boat as I am. You’ve lost your blogging purpose. Not to worry. It’s easy to get back… at least I hope it is. You know, sometimes the most difficult part is finding the right question to ask, the kind of question that leads to an answer.
Now, I know there’s a number of awesome bloggers who read my blog (at least on occasion), so if nothing else, consider this a call to you! What’s your purpose for blogging? Leave a comment, and I’ll update this post with people’s answers accordingly!
