Is blogging right for me?

Sponsored Links

If you are new to blogging, please read the whole post. I am pretty sure many people out there immediately started there own blog because of MONEY. People think that blogging will be there future. People think that they can become rich through blogging.

So before you create your own blog, ask yourself first "Is blogging right for me"?
If you want to blog because you want to write something that you are interested with but NOT because of MONEY, then there is no problem with that. It is just the same as you want to go to an Italian restaurant because you want to eat Italian Pizza.
But if you blog because of MONEY, then you have to learn many things before you can earn decent income from blogging.

Ask yourself these questions before you jump into blogging:
  • Do I like writing? - Blogging is Writing. If you don't like writing then blogging is not for you.
  • Do I have time writing? - Writing needs time same as blogging. You have to invest time in order to write articles.
  • Am I a self starter? - You need to take initiative. You have to be ready to embark new things. It is essential that you can start and could manage the blog yourself.
  • Do I have computer skills? - It is essential to have computer skills when you want to blog. When you blog, you use a computer, you connect to the Internet and sometimes you want to customize your site and do little tweaks.
  • Do I enjoy reading tons of articles? - Reading is learning. If you are a blogger, it is important that you do a lot of reading. I myself learned a lot just by reading especially about blogging tips.
  • Do I like socializing with people? - Socializing with people is the most important key if you want to blog for money. It is through socializing that you will be able to increase traffic.
  • Do I like answering people's problems? - If people have comments or questions regarding your post, you also have to reply to them and give clear explanations. Otherwise, they will leave and forget about your blog and search for other sites.
  • Are you hardworking? - Blogging needs time and effort as it grows. Without hard work, your blog will not grow just like when you do your work.
  • Am I honest? - Readers or visitors like to visit sites that are trustworthy and credible.
  • Am I consistent? - Readers or visitors like to visit sites that are updated daily (Not stale for about a month or a year). If you don't update your blog, chances are your readers will leave your site and look for another one.
Hope this helps you think clearly before you sign-up to Blogger.

Why I blog?

Sponsored Links

I live here in Germany and it is very hard to look for a job. I don't have a job yet when I wrote this post. Me and my wife were talking about sideline jobs and she suggested about blogging. She told me that I could make some money blogging.

I was at home everyday just surfing the Internet and looking for jobs. I thought that this would be a great idea for the meantime that I don't have a job yet and also to keep myself busy instead of always worrying when I could find a job.

So I started blogging about My Life here in Germany. Topics I wrote in this blog is about how I got here, Visa Processing, Visa Tips, German Culture, German Food, German Law, Marriage, and my experiences. After a couple of weeks, I received comments from people who also wanted to go to Germany. People visiting my site came from any part of the world.

After 3 months, I started my Tech Blog. Topics I wrote in this blog is about my experiences, thoughts and ideas on computer, software hardware and the web. I am passionate about technology so that's why I started this blog.

After a month, I started this blog, Blogger Tinker. The reason why I started this blog is to share what I have learned in Blogging. Topics you can read here are Step by Step Instructions, How Tos or Tutorials and Blogging Tips and Tricks.

I want to blog because I want to share free information. Information that are useful and would serve as a reference for people searching for important articles on the net. Although I just earn a couple of dollars (my earnings every month is not even enough to buy a single slice of pizza), I am still happy with the results.Why? Because I enjoy blogging. I enjoy writing about things I am interested and most of all, I can share it to the people.
