Why I blog
Brandon Hopkins over at Brandon-Hopkins.com tagged me to see why I blog. So, here are my top 5 reasons for this blog…. :-)
1. Meeting new people, I love going to others sites and commenting, reading about who they are and participating in carnivals and forums. Because I work from home, most of the people I know are right here, at my computer. I love getting new commenter’s and knowing that there are people out there interested in my ideas and experiences.
2. Learning new things. I learn something new everyday, be it on search engine marketing, or even on simple things like how to better check your email through the day. I am learning new things and sharing them through this blog as I go.
3. Having History; a year from now, I will probably not remember things I did today, I will be able to go back through this blog years later and be reminded of the trials and tribulations I experienced. It is also neat to go from my first days blogging just to now and see how my writing style has changed and improved.
4. Money; of course, this is one reason, between Adsense which only brings in a few dollars a day, and the sponsored posts, blogging is my main source of income right now, aside from my husbands job. By reviewing a company in my blog and getting paid for that review i am able to share my opinion, be it positive or negative, and still get paid for it. If a site requires that I say something positive and I have nothing positive to say, well, they can keep their money!
5. Someone to talk to; I have a bad habit that I like to talk, when I have an idea, I like to talk about it, brainstorm it, research it, it is great with this blog as I can just talk to you! I can tell you all of my crazy ideas and thoughts, and usually you guys will tell me if I am nuts or on the right track!
Here is a full list of the Why I blog Meme to add your name to when you have been tagged!

Thanks for jumping on so quick Eve! Also, thanks for the kind words :)
No problem Brandon! You deserve them! I love your blog!
This is an interesting tag or meme, Eve. I’ve enjoyed browsing your blog and reading about why you blog.
Maybe you have considered adding some yahoo clips to the site to prevent the members more entertained? After all Someone said thru the whole site of yours plus it was fine but since Im even more of a visual learner, I came across that to become more helpful. Well you should figure out the way it ends up! I love that which you consumers are doing or longer too. Such work and opinions! Maintain the good work guys. Ive included this area to my blogroll. This is a nice site thank you for sharing this informative information.. I’ll go to your site regularly for quite a few latest post.
