A blog can be used for a number of reasons but one of the original reasons was as an online journal blog. The idea was to be able to post like a journal about a person’s life, not about making money online. Some where down the road marketing took over the concept and ran with it, greed took it from there but back in the beginning, an online journal blog was a way to simply put thoughts out there for the world to read. How long did this last? Not long.

While many people have now turned to make dollars online rather then the original intent, most still keep a private or online journal blog somewhere in addition. Usually a free blog where they post about their normal day to day life shared with family and friends. Do you have one? Do you only have your business blog or professional blog that is monetized?

I think many people fall out of love with blogging over time. It just happens. The make money blogging route while sounds great is a good deal of hard work. Takes a lot of time and energy to make it happen. Most people just do not have the consistency and drive to make it happen. In the end it is the personal online journal blogs that will stay around. People still keep on living their life and while their interests change, their need to post about what happened to them, who pissed them off or what made their day will always remain. Themed blogs like this one will fall out of favor eventually but personal blogs can be adopted to cover any topic no matter how random. If you don’t have one, start one. Will help you keep your balance on professional blogging and an online journal blog for everything else.
