My good blog buddy, George Manty from Can I Make Big Money Online, has tagged me with yet another blog meme. This one is pretty cool because it gives me to opportunity to tell you more about myself and why I enjoy blogging. I am tagging Kyle, from Kyle’s Cove, Madhur, from Who is Madhur, my two new favorite stay at home moms! HomeMom3 and  Manila Mom, and my newly acquired blog friend, Matthew Jabs from eJabs.com to write a post with a list of 5 reasons why you are blogging and finally, add a list of 5 other bloggers you want to tag with this question. Also please don’t forget to provide a link back to me, and if you are willing… a link back to my good buddy George!

Why Do I Enjoy Blogging?

1.  First and foremost, on Garry Conn dot Com my number one reason why I enjoy blogging on this site is knowing that I am helping so many people improve their own blogging experience. I can’t tell you how many countless hours I have spent learning about blogging, search engine optimization, search engine marketing, Wordpress tweaking and more. I have made so many errors and mistakes in the past with other sites, and that is the main reason why Garry Conn dot Com is a total success! I have learned from my mistakes and have learned what works. I incorporate all my skills and knowledge into this site. The number one reason why I blog is because I enjoy helping others!
2. Making Friends and Meeting New People: People and society intrigue me. It is so exciting for me to meet so many  people and learn more about them: their backgrounds, where they live (especially when they are some where far away like Egypt!), their interests, etc… The aspect of making friends and meeting new people and sharing ideas and concepts is very important to me.
3. Sense of Accomplishment: Some people enjoy assembling models, some people enjoy putting together jig saw puzzles and some people enjoy scrap booking. I enjoy blogging and writing. I love the fact that I have the ability to creatively write and communicate a point, explain a thought and help so many people through my writing. I never in a million years would have guessed I would be good at writing! Thank God for computers, keyboards and spell check! At times I feel I can type faster than I can talk and that is important because my thoughts roll fast and if I was forced to write them down by hand, I would never get anywhere! Blogging gives me a sense of accomplishment because I can channel my strengths into a creative, informative and useful article that thousands of people can read and benefit from!
4. Therapeutic and Self-Soothing: Babies tend to suck their thumbs, adults tend to resort to nasty habits such as substance abuse. Human beings have to self sooth, they have to vent and do things that are therapeutic and relaxing to their brains. The human brain is by far the most amazing thing I have ever seen. It is the most complicated and intricate computer ever designed. It is so powerful that human beings only use a nominal percentage of it. The human brain is by far the most powerful computer! And unfortunately, it also requires the biggest HeatSink and Fan ever made to cool it. There are many terrible ways to cool your brain off… I am the type of person who doesn’t resort to things that alter or hinger my brains ability. People mistake a need to numb their brains when in reality, they need a way to export the contents from within their brains. Numbing it does nothing but waste time and when the effects wear off, you are still faced with the same problems (FULL BRAIN). I resort to blogging because it more less a for me to conduct a data transfer. I transfer the information from my brain to my blog. Once my brain is empty, I crash and go to bed for a few hours and start the process over the next day! I enjoy blogging because it is therapeutic.
5.  To Make Money Online: I am for the most part a stay at home dad. I do local website design and development work and a few other odd jobs locally. But my main source of income is from making money online, specifically by blogging. So, the second reason why I enjoy blogging is to make money! Come on now… who doesn’t want some green in their mailbox every month?
