The last time I checked, and it was a while ago, there were over 70 million blogs and that number was growing by a couple of million a month. With that many in existence, the reasons behind starting one are too numerous to count. Here are some of the main ones:
1. Add content to a corporate site in an effort to market through the blogosphere
2. Affiliate and internet marketing to make money

6. Have some fun
7. Write about your expertise in a field of study
