I do a lot of blogging. For me, it works best to find an intrinsic motivator. (But do always keep in mind that it is posted publicly. Writing for yourself in public is an interesting challenge.) My most successful blog started as a means to keep track of information for myself. I abandoned it for a time, but it was getting organic traffic. I resumed developing it. Blog is short for Web Log. Blogs began as personal journals or diaries that were publicly shared. If you want to track certain kinds of information for yourself, like a food journal in support of pursuing healthier eating, that can have intrinsic value without an audience. If it attracts an audience, cool. But it does not require one to be valuable to you.
