Why Blog?

I’ve always known about blogging and that it was out there for people to do and use, but I never understood the real purpose of it. I went through an entire course of ITEC to learn about blogging and I ended up with a personal conclusion. “Blogging is not for everyone”. I strongly believe that you have to blog for purpose.

I don’t see the need for someone to go online and give his personal opinion about random stuff like politics, sports, food, etc. There are always going to be millions of people out there that are going to disagree with you. Why do you want to put yourself in a vulnerable situation to get criticized?

I know for a fact that most of the wealthiest people in the world generally do not speak much. Why? Because they LISTEN. They listen to what people think and that way they get to know the people they do business with. They also find opportunities by listening.

I am not saying that blogging is bad, because it is not. It’s just not for everyone.
