Study: 36% Blog Because They Like to Write July 26, 2005
Our BloggersBlog.com website reports on a new study by BlogKits.com that found that 36% of bloggers blog because they like to write.
It's fun - 14%
To make money - 18%
Blogging is cool - 3%
I like to write - 36%
It helps me relax - 1%
It's fun and I can maybe earn a buck while I'm at it - 28%
"It helps me relax" received the lowest percentage of any of the categories so it appears that blogging may not be a great way to relieve stress. Keeping a private journal as opposed to a public weblog is probably a much better way to relieve stress through writing.
