Why create a website or blog? Fun or money?

I create a blog so when friends ask me, I can tell them I have my own blog. Money is second important and I like to achieve what other members have. To be happy and visitor come visit is even better

I used to run my site for money, then I started to notice how much venting I done on the site, all my anger and bordem was taken out on the site and had so much fun

I create things for many different reasons.

Always to help someone is my first goal. I will look for ways to create income also. Without income, I won't be able to take the time to post help to others, nor would I be able to pay for my internet connection.

We all need to help others, that is how we in turn learn and grow.

We all need to sustain ourselves too, so it is best to find a good blend of both - in my opinion.

Look like a lot of people also create for fun and satisfaction. When I ask friend they tell me it's for money but I don't agree we should stick to that.

For me both. But I would say it's more toward seeing the sites grow and filled with visitors. Like raising a kid. Small sites to become big ones.

Yap. When people ask us. Did you have blog or website? I'm happily said i have one and right now, i'm helping hundred newbie and friends to create their own blog and learn how to use google adsense. Of course i charge them. Even its cheap, but they said they learn something new and fresh to them.

Its fun to tell our friends about our website, and we can get money too. I guess my reasons is both of them. I want to invite my friends to create the content, and giving some honest critics.

Well let's just say that money is not everything. Well sort of, with money you could buy the best created website available but it's never one which you have the pleasure of creating it and watching it grow.

I think the best will be to write on subject matter you like and familiar with and make some money at the same time - that will also serves as extra motivation to make your blog better.

Yap. take note and create your target. Long term and short term. Follow it and you will discover something different after you manage to achieve your target.
