Tips on How to get Tips from Google

If you are a freshman in blogging like me, then you need some tips to improve your skills and posts. However, because you are new in this field, you do not even know yet where and how to start. With this, I would like to share to you some of the things I do to get tips:

1.0 Whether you want to blog or just simply researching about something, go to google search. Type a word, phrase or sentence that you want to know and I am sure there are thousands and thousand of sites that are just waiting for you to open. However, as you can see in the picture on my previous post, there are a very few products or companies that do not have a web site yet.

2.0 When you open a blog or site, you might notice the RSS Subscribe in a reader icon. This means that you can subscribe from his site regularly through a feeder. You can also subscribe from him through emails. You will receive everything that he posts on his site automatically, even without going to his site.. The more sites you subscribe from, the more tips you will get. Therefore, this will save a lot of time. However, your inbox might be full every now and then. But do not worry, you can unsubscribe any time.

3.0 Just recently, I discovered about this google alerts. By using this, you can receive emails daily, weekly or as it happens, depending on what you want. You can also choose from blogs, sites, videos, news, etc. Just select a keyword/s and presto! All sites with latest updates will flow into your email. Now you can choose which site to open. Do not worry, you can easily manage them if you want to change the frequency, or even delete them any time you wish to.

Of course, all of them are free of charge.

The Three Major Purposes of Bloggers

There are millions and millions of bloggers around the world. Although some have quit, more are coming having different purposes. But there are only three of them that make bloggers stay alive:

1.0 To learn: There is neither educational nor civil status requirement in blogging. Anyone who knows how to read and write has an equal chance of learning. One must be eager to learn about anything and everything about blogging. Although there are millions of sites that you can have as references, it is the learning capabilities that will help you to be successful. Besides visiting sites, you can also learn from asking. There are forums wherein gurus, probloggers and even neophytes who will answer your questions. Learning is a non-stop process and you cannot achieve it without patience, skills and help from others. If you stop learning, then you stop blogging.

2.0 To share: If you do not share what you have learned, you will not get visitors. Visitors or readers are the most important people to bloggers. They will keep coming back to sites where they learned so much. If the content is stagnant or useless to them, they can always find a better one. A good blogger is always a great writer. But being a great writer does not only mean you are great in writing, but basically good in communicating. Readers are composed of all kinds of people, and you must be able to write what pleases them in general. However, there are bloggers who choose their readers. They are the ones who blog for a particular topic like sports, animals, places, etc. Apparently, there are bloggers who just came in to share their personal thoughts, experiences and anything that they want to share. The more you share, the more unique visitors you will have, and they will keep coming back and invite others. Readers are sensitive to what they read. If they feel that you are lying or wasting their precious time, they will also share it to others and you will be dead.

3.0 To earn: This is the major purpose of many of us. Most people blog because they think that it is a very useful source of income, and yes it is. There are even people who call themselves as probloggers since blogging is their bread and butter. But there are those who make this as part time job only. If you have the right topics, right strategies and right visitors, you will earn a lot. Advertisers are willing to pay big money to bloggers who have the most clicks on their ads. Some businessmen also promote their products or services through blogging. There are also sites like payperpost that hire bloggers to write for them, just like in the newspapers and magazines.

However, there are bloggers who do not blog because of money. They just want to learn and share, or just for fun. Some of them even spend money just to share their activities and thoughts. There are also bloggers who came in for free to spread their religion, ministries and other good deeds. These people do not earn money, but they earn friends, friends who are very hard to earn these days.

I am blogging simply because I am learning a lot, and I want to share what I learn; and somehow hoping to add earnings not only money but also friends!

Revealing my wildest dreams!

Cartoon by Dave Walker. Find more cartoons you can freely re-use on your blog at We Blog Cartoons.

They say that life begins at 40. I say it is not always true. Last year I just turned 40. I tried so hard to get a better job, safer house, pay all my overdue bills but none of them came true. But last September I heard about blogging. Although I knew about web sites before, I assumed only computer experts can make them.
Honestly speaking, I am an engineer by profession but communicating is really my passion. I loved to be writer once but in those days, only few writers have enough food on their table and money in their wallets.
So last October, I took the chance by using my last money to buy my own PC. I am now trying to make a career out of blogging, not just because of money but also to fulfill my wildest dream.
Although I still have a job, I am now maintaining my 2 blogs; in which one is about parenting and other one is about marriage. It is very hard for me to be a husband, a father, a son, employee and a blogger all at the same time, but I am using all my strength and effort to be good in all of them.
This time, I will share what I will be learning, not only about blogging, but also about life, work and anything that is worth sharing.

Now my life has just begun! Sometimes life begins at 41!
