This post is part of the Problogger - Group Video Project - ‘Why I Blog’. I encourage you to participate also.

I blog because it’s fun.

I blog because it’s a method of communication that wasn’t around 100 years ago and I want to take advantage of it.

I blog to meet like minded people who share interests and ideas like me.

I blog to meet and interact with people from around the world instead of just my neighbors.

I blog to build my personal brand.

I blog to collaborate with people and be part of the conversation.

I blog to learn more about myself, what and when I’m shy, what I’m good at, what needs work.

I blog to grow from what I learn and to expand myself beyond my comfort zone.

I blog to help people.

I blog to ask questions.

I blog because it’s a cool extension of your brain where you can ask a question and have bunches of other brains help answer.

I blog because it’s a great teaching tool where you can also spread ideas and tips far and help other people in their life.

I blog because the alternative is not blogging and those people that don’t blog seem stuck in 1990.

I blog for the future, so future generations (and myself) can know what I looked like and sounded like and thought and had to say at any point in time.

I blog because at it’s core blogging is about networking and so is marketing, something I want to get better at.

I blog to build trust and respect. I don’t want to be just another email address on the web.

I blog because I have something to say.
