I must admit to you all, that the only reason I am blogging is for the money. I am planning on making this a business. I have high hopes for this blog, for it will be the only source of income i will be recieving once I quit my job. Easy money oh yeah! Although I may start at 5-10 views per week, I am hoping that the views will start increasing! Oh my gosh, I'm going to be so rich!
Okay, so I hope everyone knows I'm just kidding around. I'll admit to you all, I did have the idea, but after reading this article from Newsweek about a fellow blogger, Daniel Lyons, I'm pretty doubtful about it. This fellow blogger, determined to turn his blog into a business, posted several times a day on his site, The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs. He even blogged in the middle of the night when he had an idea. This obcessed behavior was viewed by him as "worth it" by telling himself that "at the end of this rainbow I would find a huge pot of gold." Reading this quote, I think to myself, "What good will this blog do for me in the long run?" Man, Daniel Lyons, I somewhat feel your pain. My English teacher makes me write dreadful blogs every week about something educational or whatever.
Haha. So is blogging really worth it? Blogging may not be worth the "large" money you may possibly recieve, causing a lot of poor health, such as too much gained weight. Even with the many viewers we may have, some might stalk us, threaten us, or insult us. And if we really want a increase in audience, researchers say that advertisers want blogs that are less predictable and that attract a large audience. Only a very few make a decent living. I am certainly not going to be making millions with a blog. Neither will I be that advertiser who is also making millions by hoping and lucky guessing that "that" blog will rake up the dough. We all wish it would be true, but blogging just for the experience and enjoyment is the larger award. Psh, who needs money.
So what do you think? Is blogging really worth it? Could YOUR blog be the one that makes millions? Feel free to give me your opinions and your opinion on my blog.

Good work; though my blog would never make millions in its entirety, Mr. Yamada. I feel as though I am forced (or better yet, compelled) to blog and comment every week...Strange, but it really seems worth it.
ReplyDeleteThat article about Daniel Lyons is very interesting, however, I don't think people should be paid simply by blogging because it's unfair to all those who actually work hard to earn a salary. Advertising on one's blog and getting paid also detracts from the blogging experience, which is to freely converse with others.
