anny feng · #1 (**permalink**) 04-15-09, 22:34

what is your motivation for your blog?
Make money?
Promote product?
write what you like?

sometimes, it is difficult to get motivated, and just open the blog, write a few post, then left it there.

I think you mean to say "Motive of the Blog".

Basically I blog inorder to share knowledge in the meantime if possible I use it to promote products.
But, the main intention is to write useful content for visitors seeking help for our product.

Even, I write a blog to share the knowledge. It is the best way to put your opinions/thoughts across the people. And it is obvious that the knowledge I share is related to the product so indirectly I write it for Product Promotion!

Blog is definitely a good way to promote your product and Share knowledge at the same time. A blog can also help you to get good rankings in the Search Engines as you can link your Blogs to your main website. If a visitor visits your website and likes the content then the visitor will surely visit your main website and may buy a product if required.

Basically, blogs were built to share our activities, ideas and life's experience; to write what we think, but nowadays people are using it to promote their products and services. As said by Carl, a blog can help you boost your rankings in search engines, if used properly it can maximize your profits.

Blogs can be a good way to promote your products and your service. You can express your knowledge with the help of the Blogs and if the reader is impressed with your knowledge about the product then the reader may visit your website and become your customer as said by Carl.

Same is with blogging! There are so many blogs updated on the daily basis. So your first aim should be increasing PR then you can earn from some adsense.

My blog motivation is that I like what I blog about. I usually have something to say about the topic each and everyday.

sandybeach · #14 (**permalink**) 06-09-09, 03:34

For me it's the freedom to express. Yes I do it with the dollar signs in mind, but what motivates me is that I can express myself freely.

Patience and persistence are definitely essential, but you should also try to get backlinks from websites of same niche with better PR. This would help you from an SEO's point of view.

Joseph · #19 (**permalink**) 06-13-09, 18:32

Yes, you can gain PR for your blog if you get backlinks from websites which are related to your Niche. However, content is the most important. If the content is good, your blog will definitely get higher rankings in the search engines.

Use a blog to make money, promote a product, or write what you like about? Why not all three? With a bit of work, it's not that difficult to do. Discover what your interests are and write about that. Look for products that complement your interests, especially those that have affiliate programs. That's your monetization strategy right there, and you can couple it with some AdSense ads for added income.
