Top Ten Reasons Why People Do Not Want to Blog

After spreading word that I have a blog about blogging to my friends (via IM and email), some went on to build their prototype blogs and informed me. Some were excited, some were skeptical yet willing to try, and some others were disillusioned (yes, after a few days). For this post, I will address that last bit.

In reverse order, the top ten reasons why some people won’t blog:

10. I don’t have internet connection at home.

9. Too technical. I’m not a techie.

8. Too expensive. (Free blog?) Too confusing.

7. I don’t have the time.

6. It takes too much effort.

5. I’m not interesting enough

4. I don’t have much to share

3. I don’t like sharing [my experiences/thoughts]

2. Do I look like someone who would keep a BLOG?

and the winner….

1. It’s too difficult to figure out what to blog about

In the Philippines, we have a saying: If you want to, there’s always a way. If you don’t want to, there’s always a reason.

Blogging isn’t for everyone and I respect how you would balk at the thought of anyone in the world reading what you have to say about something. And, yes, I still love you even if you are not quite convinced that this is how I earn online.

:D

However, because I made this blogging blog for you, I know you will still follow my progress with this blog and read how I make money online using a blog (and a dash of hardwork).

Kudos and welcome to the world of blogging!
