My next question has been troubling me for long, ever since i started to think about creating a blog of my own. As i just said, the internet is teeming with millions of blogs and is ever-increasing in number. More and more people fall 'prey' to this, as if there is some huge magnet trapping all of them into this. IN that case, do you think somebody will care to read your blog? Do you think, i will get the time or even care to read somebody else's blog just for fun? Chances are less than one in a million. If there are million blogs out there, i may read just a handful and some of that could be because i just stumbled upon them, while searching the net. It's google power!
Unlike the previous one, this question doesn't have a straight forward answer. Before you write anything, find out who your target audience is. But, if you ask me, do I know the target audience for my own blog, I have to admit that I don't have one; infact, I never thought about it. The decision to write a blog anyway, was probably a foolish idea. Being a starter, I needed practice so badly to get the attention of my audience, whoever it may be. This was a good enough reason for me to continue with my idea of creating this blog. My idea is to continue with the blog for some more time (maybe an year, or even 6 months), get some feedback on it, then scrap it and start another one with much more focus and with a target audience in mind. So, please don't go away (if there is somebody who is reading it) and stay tuned. So, if you are serious about blogging, be strategic and choose your target audience. But, if you just want a practice session, like I did, it should be just fine as well. But, in that case, don't have expectations...
There is one more reason for this decision, in my case. When i thought about all this again and again, I hit upon an idea, a very simplistic one. When you don't know the truth about something, and want to find it out, what would you do? What better way can there be to find it out, than try it out yourself. So I decided to. Now, I realize, it is truly addictive. We will discuss about the good and bad about blogging at a later stage. But, right now, I enjoy it a lot and so, urge you too to try this out...the pleasure of sharing is the ultimate joy in this world!
With peace,
