Great series! I found this really helpful even for my personal blog which I do not expect to monetize. Here's what I've got so far...

I wonder how many of us actually want to use our blogs for world domination? I think I might change my shift a little to be in line with that goal. :)

Seriously though, blogging seems to be a great platform to get out there and be an expert… how many bloggers have released books after getting serious traffic?

I just read this post of yours Darren and it took me to think all of what I’m doing these days. I recently started blogging and this series of yours is a masterpiece for me to learn why to blog? and what really i want to blog about. My mission was simple on how to make money – my experiences to share and above all to have a community where i can discuss things and to learn more ofcourse.

Thanks for the Great job :D

Very nice points. I wonder though how easy is it finally understanding the real reason you blog? I guess it is just a matter of knowing yourself after all. Also, what happens when you have various different “missions” which sometimes one may contradict the other. For example if you like blogging for fun but still would like to make some money from it things get a little bit complicated. There are not many examples in life where fun can/may be combined with money. Of course if and when it happens its excellent.

My mission statement is to make people laugh, and feel good about themselves. This is actually a new focus. I was a bit unfocused before that. I was writing humor, but I didn’t really know what the point was. I took some time to think about it about 2 months ago, and I decided that I didn’t just want to write funny posts, I wanted to have a general aura of good feeling about my blog.

Finally, I came up with my new tagline, “Humor and the politics of empowerment.” That’s my mission statement.

This works for life, too. What is your mission in this world?
How does that affect what you do, how you do it and the legacy you leave?
Hmmm…

I want to blog because it will help my home business grow. It’s the future. My mission is to never have to step out ot home to make a living and empower my friends and people who want to do it but don’t know how to do it…

Okay, honestly:

Why Do I Exist? (the mission statement … memories come flooding back from marketing lectures at Monash … that’s an Aussie Uni) …
mission statement – to help home business owners start up and run an online business and to do it via a blogging vehicle.

Why Do I Blog?
I have a small background in journalism and I love writing. Blogging is a natural extention for me. And I blog to gain credibility/authority in my field to achieve the above mission statement … and all this leads to one eventual thing: to be the pre-eminent worldwide expert in internet business run from home and make a ton of money (now how’s that for lofty goals and an ego gone loco ;-) … and I blame it all on blogging ;-)

This is something I never really thought about before. It is like the age old question, “why are we here?” Sometimes, it is hard to be honest with yourself about your own motivations, and it seems like that is where I am stuck at, why am I blogging? I will have to give this some thought, and maybe even blog about it!

sounds like a mission statement to me Pamela!

Great post Darren – I think you’re spot on with this approach. Whilst many bloggers will say they don’t have a mission statement behind their blogs in reality they do have something that drives them. To identify it like you’re suggesting (even if it’s like writing what Pamela just wrote) is helpful because it will clarify in their mind what they are doing which gives focus.

Looking forward to your next posts.
