Blogging Majik?


Blog
(n) a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided by the writer; also : the contents of such a site (http://www.merriam-webster.com/)

The "majik" of blogging is said to reap countless benefits to those who invest the time and effort  into blogging about what people are interested in. I have done my research, read countless articles and blogs about how to start blogging, what to blog about and what I can hope to expect should I be one of the few who benefit from the blogging world. Then I ask myself: "Do you have what it takes to be a blogger?"

The one thing these "How to" sites have in common is the idea of picking a target audience and directing your time and effort towards writing to them. They also tell you to use your experience to write your blogs. Now, I don't have a lot of experience nor do I have a target audience in mind BUT I've decided to give this a shot. Why not right? If it doesn't work out then it doesn't work out. If it does then I'd be more than happy to continue doing this.

So, here's to my first blog as a "wannabe" blogger and let's hope that this reaps the benefits I desire (or need, depending on how you want to look at it.)
