Three Reasons Why You’d Want To Blog For Other People
Not everyone can set up their own blog, you know. Not everyone has the kind of time or skill available to exercise proper promotion techniques and get the word out. For those kind of people, those people who are essentially writing purists, there is always the option of blogging for someone else. And there are three good reasons for doing so, which is especially useful since we’ve been talking about that all week so far.
1. More resources. You don’t have to worry about what you’re going to do for money while you engage in promoting your blog and getting the adsense in play and getting other people to read the damn thing so you’re not shouting at an empty room.
2. Established (or establishing) audience. Again, the shouting at an empty room component of blogging is gone. No more feeling like the crazy lady who talks to her cats all day!
3. Pure writing. When you write someone else’s blog, your promotional duties become somewhat minimal. You’re a content provider. Oh, sure, you make up some contests or help out with Digg entries or something, to provide added value, but for the most part? You WRITE. That’s it.
Take all these reasons together and you discover that blogging for someone else is a pretty good move.

reading this article…it's just like writing to help others. I believe writing first for people and second for Search engines is best reason for me.

Whenever you blog for other people it becomes a hassle, not fun, and you just will not continue. But, when you find your niche to blog about something that your very passionate about it will really open some great doors of opporunity for you.
Nice post!

Good post.
With my personal blog I would write for me first but with my MMO blog I would write for other people. I think I got the balance right personally.

Regularly writing for someone else's blog sounds like more effort than its worth. I think it would be worthwhile if you were doing it as a guest post to help promote your own website or blog. If you just want to write, there are plenty of ways to find work online. Then again, you might be able to work out a good arrangement to write on a blog for a percentage of profit.

Writing for other blogs for a fee is a good way to go if you like to write a lot and can't bring visitors to your own blog. If you have a blog and want to generate more traffic to it, then writing quest posts on other people's blogs is the way to go.

You are right, making a blog is easy but to maintain it on a continues level is tough, u need resources and time which is not possible for every 1 here, you know what I mean, still Blogging is beyond just a way to pass your time, you can make money from it if you take it as a job or something like that

Nice post…you discussed some useful points.But I would go with the idea that if one writes for other people only, sooner or later he is bound to feel writing to be a hassle for him.But those who writes for the sake of writing only and are very passionate about writing proves to be good at last.

Writing for others is not going to bring out the best motivation in me or anyone…that applies 99.9% of the time.
Even for shouting at an empty room, you're best shouting it out yourself. There are also some things in this world that you have to do it yourself.

There above reasons for blogging for someone else are good but forgetting to mention writing to facilitate an inroad to your own website or blog is highly effective as you can gain contextual links which could be your own keywords which you may be trying to rank in the search engines for. Definately an SEO advantage to write on other peoples blogs, guest posts etc.

Be careful though, SEO–that kind of thing can be a conflict of interest. And that's not something anyone needs to tangle with.
