You know, an online diary the allows you to log your thoughts on the world wide web. If for some reason you have not started your blog yet please don't. Here are 5 reasons not to start a blog today.
1. Be different

2. You do not know how to write

3. You do not want to hire someone to write
Because search engines are craving information and a blog is a great way to provide that you could just hire a blog writer and probably develop a decent blog with no effort on your part. But then you would have to pay $5 to $7 for 200-300 word posts in your blog and that is out of the question.

Blogs that have 2 weeks of content and are 1 year old are just as bad. Do you know how many blogs were started and then dropped like a hot potato. Most of them. Since you quit everything you start on the Internet this is a good reason not to start a blog of your own today.
