Reasons to blog could be:
1. Personal
Personal as in the bloggers write about their life. It is similar with writing a diary, except not with pens and papers anymore. These bloggers share their experiences, thoughts, opinions or ideas about something they have done or yet to be done.
2. Babbling
There are also bloggers that blog because they have no peers to share with because, as far as I know, people rather talk about themselves than listening to others. Hence, these people may create a blog so they can babble about their happenings in life and what not.
3. To show off
Some people likes to show off their luxury lifestyle or how good their life is. Okay, there's no crime for showing off or sharing their happiness, but hey don't overdone it! It may be annoying at times.
4. Hobby
Some people loves to write. May it be a poem or short story, they just have the urge or need to write something, every day. It is the passion that drives them to blog.
5. To promote/market
A number of blogs are created for the sake of promoting and marketing. Food, books, clothes, accessories, services...you name it.
6. Friends and family connections
Blogs provide a simple and easy way to stay connected with friends and family at any part of the world. Close ones could view the blogger's stories, pictures and videos through blog.
7. For a memory
Some of my friends love to read back their pasts so the memories wouldn't be forgotten.
8. To make money
Blogging ain't an easy money generator as it requires full commitment, hard work and lots of patience. However, there are people who blog for living still as they could earn big bucks.
9. To make a change/difference
These are people are into political issues and views who try to influence readers in a certain direction.
10. To educate others
Bloggers may be providing information about parenting, health related, or any other certain topics of their own expertise.
11. For fame
Bloggers could even gain popularity and a reputation once their blog is successful or by having a high number of visitors daily.
12. For better improvements
Here as in having a vivid improvements in literature, language, and what not in their own ways. For instance, some bloggers find themselves express better in writing than orally.
13. Influenced by friends
Of course some people blog for wanting to stay in the circle. They decided to blog to keep up with their peers or perhaps peer pressure?
The above are the reasons that I could think of. I believe that there are still many other agendas or objectives of why people blog. As for me, I am a combination of to give my opinions, for keeping my pasts as a memory, and for better improvement in my English language. What about you? Why do you blog?
