Thanks Moumita.

It is definitely a good idea to know why you want to start blogging before starting a blog. However, this post was trying to get everyone to think a bit deeper about their overall “WHY”. It’s the why that keeps you up all night to reach your targets, the why that means you will give up social engagements, and the why that drives you above everything else.

Having a passion for a subject is great, but there has to be an over riding desire and drive…something that is pushing you forward every single day and that keeps you coming back for more. When you work out that why, your blogging will greatly improve.

It’s great to hear that blogging has become your passion

Hello Catherine,

Thanks you so much for sharing such a wonderful article and also I will say thanks to mention the ebook by Ryan Biddulph. We should know why we want to do blogging before start a blog. When I start a blog, my focus was to learn wordpress, hosting etc. But day by day it becomes my passion…

Hi Catherine,

This post has brought such an amazing turn to my mind to let it work for finding the rel reason for what I am blogging?

Aha! I got it.:) I always had.

I always try to learn more about blogging, WordPress, SEO and much more about making money. As you have mentioned above that you are working for your daughter. By the way she is so cute.:)

I loved the way you have given your “WHY”. Most of bloggers don’t have proper idea as why they are blogging? Though it’s not a new thing to listen as I was also a beginner once and din’t know anything but still now I now that blogging is what interests me. I love to write. I am here for my family.

For all of us family has the major role in our life and we try hard to provide them comfort and I am also trying to do the same. Hopefully will get succeed.

Thanks for this post.
Such a motivational one.:)

Have a wonderful weekend.:)

~Ravi

I really enjoyed reading your thought provoking post as well as all the comments. Thanks for sharing your very real story too. I am still learning how to blog and enjoying the creativity involved. I eventually want to earn online income from sharing my passion for renovating houses so that I am free to travel wherever I fancy!
