What Do You Value Most About Blogging?

It should not come as a surprise, that what bloggers value the most about blogging will differ from blogger to blogger (That cannot be helped because each blogger’s mindset is different).

Oh well, so much for human nature.

So, without further ado, it is time for you and I to explore some interesting theories as to what many bloggers value the most about blogging.

Interacting With Your Fellow WordPress Bloggers

There are a lot of bloggers who value the interaction with their fellow bloggers.

For the record, I am one of many bloggers on WordPress who enjoy interacting with their fellow WordPress bloggers.

Human beings, on the whole, enjoy interacting with each other.

Therefore, it is only natural for a blogger to want to interact with another blogger.

Being Able To Express Yourself Via Blog Posts

Bloggers are known to express themselves in various ways; such as:

• Writing long-form content.
• Writing poetry.
• Sharing their photography via their blog.
• Displaying their arts and crafts via their blog.
• Sharing recipes via their blog.

Some bloggers may value this the most because it happens to be the main reason why they started a blog of their own in the first place.

Receiving Comments On Your Blog

There are bloggers who value comments more than anything else.

The truth is that anyone can press the Like button on WordPress.

However, only a small percentage of people know how to leave valuable comments.

People who value comments do not want to read a comment that says, “Nice post!”

The type of comment that they want to see is one that went into detail about what the person read.

Superficial comments mean nothing.

Whereas, thoughtful comments are the ones which the owner of a blog views as being most valuable.

Receiving Likes On Your Blog

There are a lot of bloggers who cherish likes (And, I have a sneaky suspicion that they are motivated to blog whenever they see that their blog posts are receiving lots of likes).

The truth is that I have a deeper appreciation for comments than likes (But that does not mean that I hate likes).

As someone who started over on Blogger (and as someone who spent a lot of their time there), comments mean a lot.

Also, there was no Like button to press on Blogger.

Anyway, these days, a lot of bloggers on WordPress are blogging solely for likes (Where they are concerned, likes are the most valuable things for them in the world of blogging).

Making Money From Your Blog

Bloggers can make money from blogging by:

• Monetizing their blog.
• Engaging in affiliate marketing.
• Creating and selling online courses.
• Writing sponsored reviews.

While it is indeed wonderful for a person to make a living off of blogging, they should not prioritize it over being of genuine service to the members of their blogging community (The whole idea is to put others first).

Being A Very Popular Blogger

Despite the perks that come with being a very popular blogger, you will feel a sense of accomplishment if you did the types of things that helped to improve the quality of people’s lives.

The truth is popularity can only take you so far in blogging and there is no guarantee that you are going to remain popular forever (You can always be dethroned by an up-and-coming blogger).

You are much better off prioritizing the needs of your viewing audience.

Final Thoughts

What you value most about blogging says a whole lot about you.
