i have almost 'first anniversary' with blogging. i was got experiences and knowledges with it. happy and sad i has experienced. satisfied or disappointed i felt. i experienced many failures. but, i still stand blogging here :)

well, honestly, my blogging goals is be professional and get money from blogging. but, when this article wrote,  i am still a poor blogger. why ? because i WRONG. i realize, during this, i just always thought about money. i always want to get quick, i impatient. and this is the result. however, I still stand blogging here. why ? because i was realize. i have been learn more about blogging from the professionals. i have been reading the article about blogging from the professionals. and now, i think i was have the right mindset about blogging. now, i have been loving blogging. i am a "blog addict". i never can separate my life with blogsphere. and i believe this is my first step to be a professional. are you believe too ?

"loving your work is first step to be a professional"

the man who love his job will always feel his job = his holiday. He will enjoy work. never feel burdened, and in the last (i sure) he will be a professional in his job.

so, as well as with blogger.

you want to be success blogger ? you want to be professional and make money from it?

well, make blogging activity be your "sweetheart". why ? because sweetheart is always loved. i also like that. i just invite you to love your blogging activity if you want to get money from your blog. i am your comrade. i am not a professional. i am a beginner blogger like you too. but i am believe, it is the first step to be a professional.

i just tell a story for you. all of professional bloggers i found in the blogsphere, mostly, initially is the blogging lovers. and bear in mind, initially they are not thought about 'blogging for money'. they are just make blogging as their hobbies and 'sweetheart'. just when they realize that blogging can generate much money, they were start to thought how to make money from their blog. why we were always thought the strategy to make money from our blog never get money, but they were not thought about money, just get money? is the god not fair ? No. it is our wrong. they were love and just thought how to make their blog be professional, so the visitors come to their blog and feel serviced. while, we were just thought about money and never love and make our blog be professional.

so, start from now, let to love blogging. blogging is the thing must you love. imitate the professionals if we want to be like them.

try to make blogging as our hobby, even as our sweetheart, or even our life.

then again, you will feel your work (blogging) = your holiday. and i believe, someday we will be professional like we wish. in addition, we will never feel burdened if our work is our sweetheart, the sweetheart who bring us moneys, not the sweetheart in general who drain our money(hehehe).

happy blogging :)

“Content is the king” – Anonymous.

What the thing that searched by internet user ? what the thing that wanted by the people when browsing ? the answer is >> information. That is the fact. You visiting my blog is to get information too, right ?

2.    Second pillar, Traffic

Content is the king. Right. But content is not everything. Although you have the high quality and useful content, if you not comply the second step, your blog is still have a little visitors. The good content is searched by people, but it not mean will always bring in the visitors. Why ? because your blog and it content not automatically indexed by search engine. Right, there are search engine that automatically indexing your blog and it content, like google that automatically indexing your blog if your blog platform is blogger. if the peoples typing the keywords in search engine that associate with your blog, they are not necessarily find your blog. Because of that, you must submit your blog in the search engines in order to indexed by them.

However, indexed by search engine is not a guarantee to bring in visitors to your blog too.

The right mindset to "blogging for money"

 

in this article, i will explain you about the right mindset to “blogging for money”. Until this article wrote, there are still many bloggers think ‘blogging for money’ is easy. There are many peoples think ‘blogging for money’ is a shortcut for get money. That all is WRONG. Blogging for money is not easy, it is need patience and  hardwork. The people that think ‘blogging for money’ are easy usually fail at halfway. However, ‘blogging for money’ is not impossible thing.
There are many peoples success by blogging. They are peoples who never give up. Some of them make blogging as their livelihood. they are fulltime bloggers. But, there are part-time bloggers too (like me). They are the people who willing sacrificing their rest time that a little for blogging. they are blogging at the sidelines of their offline activity.  they all are the bloggers who have the true mindset of ‘blogging for money’.
So, what the true mindset of ‘blogging for money’ ?
The true mindset to blogging for money is never think ’how much the money can i get from blogging’. yeah. you will never become a professional blogger if you just think about money. The thing must you think is ‘how much useful thing that you can give to your blog visitors by visiting your blog’. Just think it. Because, just by that you will doing the true steps be a professional blogger. when you always think about that, by itself you will build a blog by CTPM (content-Traffic-Preseller-monetize) pillar. Do you know CTPM pillar ? i will tell you about it on the next article. Just wait :).
By the true mindset above, you will build a famous blog. When your blog popular, by itself the moneys will come to you. In addition, i think you will get reward from your  god because  you have give much useful to your blog visitors by sincere, without hoping get reward from them. So, ‘once paddle,the two islands exceeded’ ;)
So, if you still blogging with only thinking about money, i suggest once again, think ‘what the useful thing can you give to your blog visitors’ is better than only think about money.
Hmm. Maybe just it can i share to you. Hopefully useful to you :). If you get still confused, just ask in the comment box.
