Is it your passion for crafts, sports, accounting?" I really like this point. When people come up with unique posts or comments it can really generate a discussion where both parties learn something new. Following your passion is so important, especially in the midst of all those "here's how to make a quick $1,000,000" blogs out there. It never ceases to amaze me that no matter how specialized your niche is, you will always find people with the same interests but with something different to say. “What do you have that is unique that you can offer to people on your blog?

I really like this point. When people come up with unique posts or comments it can really generate a discussion where both parties learn something new. Following your passion is so important, especially in the midst of all those “here’s how to make a quick $1,000,000″ blogs out there. It never ceases to amaze me that no matter how specialized your niche is, you will always find people with the same interests but with something different to say.

It is you people that have normal jobs that need to worry about that. :) My website is my job, I don’t have to worry about being fired for it.

Glad that it encouraged you to keep blogging. I think we all lose sight of the reasons why we do things and lose focus. Thanks Karen, you just made my day!

I feel the same way about any other venture. Don't do it to "get rich quick" or pimp for popularity, do it because you really want to add value. Thanks for encouraging me to keep blogging. :-) I must say I don’t believe I have ever read another post on this topic but it is timely and relevant. :-) If you are not doing it for the right reasons you will do yourself and your readers a huge disservice.
