EITHER AM I INSANE, NOR AM I A PERSON ADDICTED TO DAY
DREAMING. THIS IS WHAT I MADE POSSIBLE BY TURNING ORDINARY INTERNET USE INTO A
PROFESSION. BOYS BETWEEN 10-20 YEARS OF AGE ARE EARNING IN HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS
A MONTH BY SHARING THEIR KNOWLEDGE WITH AN ONLINE CROWED OF 1.67 BILLION PEOPLE
WORLDWIDE. INTERNET IS EXPANDING WIDELY AND HAS ENOUGH SPACE FOR ACTIVE MINDS
LIKE YOU WITH CREATIVE AND INNOVATIVE IDEAS THAT CAN RESHAPE THE WORLD AROUND
US. IT WAS A TIME WHEN IT TOOK MONEY TO START YOUR OWN WEBSITE BUT AMAZINGLY
TODAY YOU CAN LAUNCH YOUR OWN WEBSITE WHERE YOU CAN WRITE 1000 OF ARTICLES AND
YET YOU DON’T NEED TO PAY EVEN A PENNY. HOW? FOLLOW UP,
THERE ARE SOME WORDS THAT YOU MUST HAVE COME ACROSS MANY
TIMES WHILE BROWSING THE INTERNET AND SUCH WORDS ARE “BLOG” AND “BLOGOSPHERE”.
AMAZINGLY, THESE WORDS ARE THE MOST POPULAR WORDS IN ALL COUNTRIES EXCEPT
PAKISTAN. A CHILD OF AGE 10 IN UK, USA, CHINA, AUSTRALIA, AND INDIA CAN WELL
DEFINE WHAT BLOG MEANS AS COMPARED TO AN IT UNDERGRADUATE LIVING IN PAKISTAN.
THANKS TO OUR PROFIT MOTIVATED ELECTRONIC MEDIA, PRODUCTIVE INFORMATION WILL
NEVER REACH US. BUT TODAY WE WILL DIG DEEPLY INTO THE MEANING OF THESE TWO
WIDELY USED AND SEARCHED WORDS IN THE INTERNET BY ANSWERING THREE SIMPLE
QUESTIONS WHICH ARE,
1.
WHAT IS BLOG AND BLOGOSPHERE?
2.
HOW DO I CREATE A BLOG?
3. WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF BLOGGING?
WHAT
IS BLOG AND BLOGOSPHERE?
A BLOG IS
NOTHNG BUT AN ONLINE NOTEBOOK DIARY I.E. YOUR PERSONAL WEBSITE. WHAT DO WE
WRITE IN A NOTEBOOK DIARY? OFCOURSE STUFF THAT WE LIKE AND THINGS THAT WE FEEL
IMPORTANT TO BE RECORDED AND SHARED WITH OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. A NOTEBOOK
DIARY CAN BE BASED ON ANY TOPIC THAT YOU LIKE FOR EXAMPLE: YOU CAN WRITE ON
YOUR FAVOURITE HOBBIES, ACTIVITIES, POEMS, SONGS, PETS, SPORTS OR EVEN YOUR
RANDOM THOUGHTS ETC. PEOPLE WILL READ YOUR DIARY ON DAILY BASIS AND WILL LEAVE
YOU A COMMENT, SUGGESTION OR FEEDBACK. IF YOY WRITE ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCES
IN A NOTEBOOK MADE UP OF PAPERS, THEN YOUR WRITEINGS WILL REACH ONLY LIMITED
PEOPLE AROUND YOU BUT WITH AN ONLINE DIARY (WEBSITE) LIKE A BLOG YOU SPEAK TO
THE WORLD!
SO, IN SHORT A BLOG IS YOUR PERSONAL WEBSITE, WHERE
YOU WRITE AND SHARE THINGS, YOU LIKE WITH MILLIONS OF PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ARE
EAGER TO READ WHAT IS COOKING IN YOUR MIND!
BLOGOSPHERE
IN SIMPLE WORDS
MEANS THE WORLD OF BLOGGING AND BLOGGERS. IT IS THE BLOGGERS COMMUNITY WHERE
YOU CAN FIND BLOGS OF ALL SORTS (TOPICS)
HOW DO I CREATE A BLOG?
CREATING A BLOG IS ABSOLUTELY FREE. THERE ARE MANY
QUALITY BLOGGING HOSTING SERVICES THAT YOU CAN CHOOSE TO CREATE A BLOG BUT THE
BEST AMONG THEM IS BLOGGER (WWW.BLOGGER.COM) AND WORDPRESS (WWW.WORDPRESS.ORG). I AM CURRENTLY THE AUTHOR OF THE BLOG (WWW.TECHELITE-DIGEST.BLOGSPOT.COM) AND I CREATED THIS BLOG OUT OF SCRATCH WITHOUT EVEN PAYING A PENNY! AND
TODAY WHATEVER POCKET MONEY THAT I EARN COMES FROM THIS BLOG. ALL YOU NEED TO
DO IS TO VISIT WWW.BLOGGER.COM AND SIGN UP FOR A FREE ACCOUNT. FILL UP THE VACANT BLANKS, SUBMIT THE
FORM AND GIVE YOUR BLOG A NAME. AMAZINGLY WITHIN SECONDS YOU WILL HAVE YOUR
BLOG UP AND RUNNING WITH A UNIQUE WEB ADDRESS (URL)!
THEN AFTER SUCCESSFUL PUBLICATION OF YOUR BLOG THE
NEXT STEP IS TO CUSTOMIZE IT TO YOUR PREFERENCES IN ORDER TO GIVE YOUR BLOG A
MORE PROFESSIONAL LOOK AND FELL THAT MAY GO ACCORDING TO YOUR BLOG’S TOPIC
THEME. THEN COMES THE BEST PART I.E. MONETIZING YOUR BLOG, WHICH MEANS DISPLAYING
ADVERTISEMENTS ON YOUR BLOG. IN A NUTSHELL YOU JUST NEED TO FOLLOW THREE BASIC
STEPS WHICH ARE:
1. SET UP A
BLOG AND START WRITING ON A TOPIC YOU ARE GOOD AT.
2. CUSTOMIZE
THE LOOK AND FEEL OF YOUR BLOG TO GIVE IT A PRO TOUCH.
3. MONETIZE
YOUR BLOG TO START EARNING IN $$.
WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF BLOGGING?
INDEED EVERY
DROP OF SWEAT HAS ITS PRICE. AFTER SETTING UP A BLOG, YOU CAN THEN ADD
ADVERTISEMNETS TO IT. THERE ARE GAINT COMPANIES LIKE GOOGLE ADSENSE FOR
INSTANCES THAT IS PAYING PEOPLE IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS! IT GOES LIKE THIS. YOU
WILL WRITE ARTICLES ON YOUR BLOG AND ADSENSE WILL DISPLAY ADS ON YOUR WEBSITE
RELEVANT TO THE TOPIC OF THE ARTICLE WHICH YOU HAVE WRITTEN. ADSENS ENGINEERS
DOES IT USING THEIR OWN COMPUTER PROGRAMS. FOR INSTANCES IF YOU ARE WRITING AN
ARTICLE ON SONY DIGITAL CAMERAS THEN UPON PUBLISHING THAT ARTICLE ADSENSE WILL
AUTOMATICALLY DISPLAY ADVERTISMENTS SPECIFIC TO SONY COMPANY NEXT TO YOUR
ARTICLE. IF ANY OF YOUR VISITORS CLICKS THOSE ADS THEN YOU WILL BE PAID A
COMMISSION IN DOLLARS BY THE ADSENSE COMPANY. WE CALL THIS COMMISSION PAY PER
CLICK (PPC). SO, ADSENSE WILL PAY YOU FOR EACH CLICK MADE ON THE ADS AT YOUR
BLOG. THE COST OF A CLICK DEPENDS UPON THE TYPE OF THE CONTENT YOU ARE
PUBLISHING. IF SUPPOSE YOU ARE WRITING AN ARTICLE ON “BEST NIKON CAMERAS” OR
“LIFE INSURANCE” OR “JEWELRY” OR “BEST COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES” THEN THE COST
FOR ONE CLICK CAN RANGE FROM $.2 TO $.75 OR EVEN MORE. IF YOU SUCCEED IN
ACHIEVING GOOD READERSHIP AND IN BUILDING GOOD REPUTATION IN BLOGSPHERE (I.E.
MORE AND MORE PEOPLE VISITING YOUR BLOG) THEN YOU CAN UNDOUBTEDLY EARN
$100-$500 MONTHLT!! FOR EXAMPLE: JOHN CROW, AUTHOR
OF THE BLOG (WWW.JOHNCHOW.COM) WHO IS JUST AN ORDINARY BLOGGER IS EARNING MORE THAN $40,000 A MONTH!
IT’S ALL A GAME OF HARD WORK.
MOREOVER
REVENUE IS NOT JUST A SINGLE ADVANTAGE LINKED TO BLOGGING BUT THERE ARE DOZENS
OF OTHER GOOD BLESSINGS OF SETTING UP A BLOG. BY BLOGGING YOU SHARE YOUR
LIMITED KNOWLEDGE WITH AN ONLINE CRAZY CROWD OF 1.67 BILLION PEOPLE, ALL EAGER
TO KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE GOT! AS AN AUTHOR YOU WILL HAVE TO COMMUNICATE WITH
VISITORS FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, CONTINENTS, RACE, COLOR AND CREED.
BLOGOSPHERE IS INDEED A MULTICULTURAL ENVIRONMENT WHERE EVERYDAY DELIVERS A NEW
MESSAGE AND WHERE THERE IS A LOT TO SHARE AND EXPLORE. YOU WILL MAKE NEW
FRIENDS EVERY SINGLE SECOND AND WILL DEVELOP A MORE FIRM AND STRONG SOCIAL
CHARACTER. YOUR READERS CAN RANGE FROM 12-70 YEARS OF AGE AND ALL BELONGING TO
DIFFERENT CULTURES. SO YOU WILL DEVELOP A VERSATILE TONE OF DEALING WITH PEOPLE
OF ANY AGE AND COLOR. YOUR WRITTINGS, SOCIAL CHARACTER AND PERSONALITY WILL ALL
REFLECT YOUR SENSE OF INTELLECT AND EACH SINGLE DAY WHEN YOU WILL MEET YOUR
FRIENDS AND FAMILY, YOU WILL SOUND BOLDER. IN SHORT BLOGGING EDUCATES YOU WITH
THE HUMAN BEHAVIOR WHICH IS THE BIGGEST WORLDLY EDUCATION ACCORDING TO ME.
BLOGOSPHERE IS INDEED A BLESSED ONLINE HABITAT, FAR DIFFERENT FROM THE WORLD WE
LIVE IN.
FINAL WORD OF ADVICE
A YEAR BACK WHEN I USED TO READ SUCH ARTICLES, I OFTEN
DISBELIEVED THE FACTS BUT TODAY I AM SATISFIED WITH MY WORK. BUT THERE IS ONE
THING THAT MUST BE KEPT IN MIND AND THAT IS THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH UNLESS YOU
PAY FOR IT. A SUCCESSFUL BLOGGING CAREER DEMANDS A LITTLE HARD WORKS BUT A LOT
OF PATIENCE. IF YOU START BLOGGING TODAY AND EXPECT SOME $$ BUGS TOMORROW THEN
YOU CAN NEVER TURN OUT TO BE A GOOD WRITER, AUTHOR AND A WEB MASTER. REVENUE
WILL FOLLOW YOU BY ITSELF BUT YOUR FIRST PRIORITY SHOULD BE BUILDING A GOOD
READERSHIP AND SUBCRIPTION LIST. THE MORE READERS YOU HAVE, THE STRONGER YOU
GROW. WORK DAY AND NIGHT TO BUILD UP TRUST AND RESPECT IN THE EYES OF THE ONLNE
COMMUNITY. NEVER STEAL SOMEONE’S COPY RIGHTED CONTENT AND NEVER APPLY SHORT
CUTS LIKE CLICKING YOUR ADS YOURSELF. MOST PEOPLE WHO CANNOT MAKE IT AS GOOD
BLOGGERS ARE THOSE WHO THINKS THAT THE WORLD AROUND THEM CAN EASILY BE FOOLED.
JUST REMEMBER THAT EVERY ONE OF YOU IS A BORN GENIUS AND IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF
TIME TILL YOU REALIZE IT. BLOGGING IS A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE AND IT IS ONLY FOR
THOSE WHO LOVE TO SHARE, EXPLORE AND HAVE FUN. SO KEEP WRITING, KEEEP SHARING
AND KEEP EXPLORING BECAUSE THE GENERATION AHEAD NEEDS YOU. WISHING YOU ALL A
SUCCESSFUL BLOGGING CAREER! TAKE CARE J
