Blogging & Me

Way back 2006, when I am still part of the working force of our country, I often heard/seen the word blog, blogging and blogger on TV shows. I remembered a blogger was featured on Jessica Soho's shows tackling about how she was able to earn by just doing reviews on the latest gadgets. When advertisers started to noticed her site it was also the time that the money kept coming in. I just thought that time that, that girl was really lucky and talented to have penetrated such earning opportunity.


(1)Blogging paved the way to many frustrated writers who aren't lucky enough to land a job in publishing companies;(2) or to those who are burnt out from their day job and wanted to call it quits with their bosses;(3) or to a lonely person who just want to have an outlet of his/her thoughts hoping that someone in the virtual world will take notice of her;(4) or to a housewife who want to feel that there is still life after her household chores;(5) or to a curious person who just want to try blogging because it is the "IN" thing now. Whatever the reason may be, the important thing to remember is that you should blog with all your heart and you are not using anyone to get notice.


I am reasons number 2 and 3. I started to build my blog from scratch and thanks to Mr. Google that he thought me every step that needed to be done. I became obsessed of my learnings and immediately opened up 5 blogs at the same time. Too bad most of them didn't work out since I never really have given much thought about each theme and they ended up in the trash. That didn't stopped me though, for the nth time I opened up another blog. But this time, I took baby steps in learning and developing it from it's template theme (which I won) and from having to bought its dot info domain. True enough by careful planning and managing it, it is still alive until now. After I established it, I decided to have another one with a general topic too and with a dot info domain as well.


Blogging changed my perspective on the internet. My first impression of it was only for searching and connecting with old friends and relatives through social networks. But right now, I am enjoying reading different topics written by my co-bloggers. I learned a lot from them and it is like sitting in a library reading tons of books with so much knowledge and informations you can grasp. I also became so vigilant to every place I go to checking out if there are events, new products, promos and anything interesting that I can blog about. Sometimes my family finds it weird when I took pictures of the food before eating them. Blogging opened the opportunity for me to earn at home. There are so much inspiring stories about earning online that I said to myself that someday I will be able to inspire other people too. True enough I managed to save my earnings that I am able to give my share on the household expenses. It also taught me the real value of money because what I am earning now really came from long patience and hard work.


With all this, I am eying to become a better and improved blogger this year and for the years to come. Never ending learning and researching are the key in achieving it. Asking question to the pro blogger friends I have can help me a lot too. And for the newbies out there, I can say the most effective way to learn this thing is through mentoring. I am also praying that Mr. Google will give me the page rank I am targeting for a very long time now. I know he will, but I know that I have also to do my share in posting quality articles and making a plan on how to increase the traffic to my site.
