So you want to do blogging? It seems exciting and quite easy to do , right? Blogging is something that pays well without having to sweat buckets. In other words, it’s akin to online business. Before you submit your resignation letter and start blogging, it is better to think twice and continue reading this post.
Many people now considered blogging as a career or as a source of income, than working 8 hours a day in the office. The idea of working in little time but get more money is hard to resist. Although it’s not a zero capital, but it’s a little capital to start, especially to those who have already computers and Internet connection, blogging seems the best way to go to.
Here are some reasons why I said blogging could be very exciting tasks:
1. Having your own website gives you a free hand in planning or designing your site. You can think of any ideas, or you can let your creative ideas flowing and post it on your blog without anyone telling you to stop.
2. As the boss of your own business you can work any time you want. You can select people you only like to work with.
3. You can charge any price for links, space ads, or you can set a price for paid post depending on how much you want to earn. But of course, it depends on recent market conditions.
4. After you pay for all of your bills like electric bills, Internet connection, monthly web hosting bills, domain name payment, the remaining money is all yours to keep. However, you need to spend/invest your money wisely so you don’t end up getting richer only in a short period of time.
Of course blogging requires skills. Every blogger’s dictum is “Content is King’. Nothing can beat bloggers with great writing skills and with plenty of creative ideas to share on his blog. Notice how famous bloggers wrote their post while almost anyone online visits their niche. DO I need to mention names? I don’t think so. I know you know most of them. Let’s face it, website or blog with great content catches more attention and the content of your site is what everybody will comment on. If you think you don’t have any writing skills, you can hire someone who has it.
How about link building skills or SEO skills? It will hit you once you have common sense. Thus, “common sense is another crucial skill you need in blogging and the rest is history.
If you read this far and was convinced that quitting your job and blogging is the great choice for you, I wish you all the best. Oh, and did I mention we are accepting advertisers here? Don’t forget to advertise your site in this website.
I quit my job last February 2008 as a branch head of one of the top direct selling company here in the Philippines to become a full time housewife and rest because I became sickly after I lost my baby.
Since I have accumulated debts and needed to make ends meet, I have decided to do blogging as a way to compensate our family’s needs. So far blogging can really help you out. I am not earning thousands of dollars like other people do but I am glad that people can really earn money online. My next goal is to learn more so that I can earn steadily for the family and for savings.
