Why Do People Go Online?
The idea of placing your thoughts on the net is attractive, as I’ve been discussing with a friend a while ago. It’s gratifying, completely affirmatory and overall quite fun!
The only question is: What is its purpose?
Adding Value
We’ve all used the nifty tool called search and more than once, we’ve found what we wanted. But there are times when we arrive on a page and become disappointed that there isn’t much info about the topic that we intended to look up. Using a personal blog, one could be talking about experiences and things that aren’t meant to be “helpful”, but we all work under the assumption that someone, somewhere could be looking for that particular topic and when he finds it on YOUR blog, he shouldn’t be disappointed at the lack of thought put into the article. At the very least, he should be entertained.
I Know Something Some Don’t Know… You Know?
When another blogger friend told me that someone asked him to post the rules of a sport he is passionate about, he was shocked to realize that certain things we previously thought to be “common knowledge” aren’t as commonly known. Every blogger is a resource person of sorts, and we can all share a part of what we know to those who don’t.
Why Do People Go to the Internet?
If you are really clueless about what you want to talk about in your new blog, this is the question you should ask yourself. Why do you, or anyone you know, hit the net? Some come here to find recipes, some to find out prices, reviews of household items they want to purchase, or just to ogle photos or videos of things they desire. If you don’t have a domain name yet, here are some nice words to include:
- About
- Best
- Easy
- Howto
While one may not know the exact reasons why people go online, we can start second guessing their intentions by catering to what WE would go online for i.e. needing a convenient way to do something, and wanting information on the best and easiest ways to do things.
