There are many reasons for blogging. Some of them are more serious than others, but every reason makes you start a blog, is valid, and always of importance (at least for you!) But besides the many reasons or strategies in which the clause “I start blogging” involves, there is an objective that surpasses everyone else.
That objective is the development of something new. Either it is a new message, an idea, a schema, a startup, a niche market, or something else, everything starts from a message. You need something to communicate with the world!
To Blog Or Not To Blog?
Why should you blog? Why should you devote time, effort, resources, and a considerable amount of commitment to developing a blog? And if yes, for who?
Blogging is one channel of expression and most of all it is a medium for you to channel your message(s)! To setup, a blog is easy and takes very little time. But to develop and nourish a blog and build connections with people, it takes a lot of time and effort.
Because the main principle of building a blog is that. You build a blog for the others. Not for yourself. A blog is the central point of a certain community and blogger is the initiator of one or more discussions.
You should start a blog if:

- You want, real-time feedback from the potential consumers of your ideas, services, products, ideas, schemes
- You need a communication platform
For all these reasons, you might take the decision to start blogging. But these reasons are just the justification of building a blog and starting to write in a regular mode, research and find topics of interest, communicate with other people, and strive to provide more value to your potential audience.
There are more, probably more important reasons that may propel someone or a group to start blogging.
