What Compels You To Write?

Most of us started blogging to earn money. At first, the concept is difficult to adapt into since the possibility of earning through the internet is still new to majority of us. Some of us would try different sort of things just to earn. These includes selling your friends out on affiliate links or any products that even you doesn't want to get your hands on to.

I was also a victim of these since at first I really don't have much of an idea of what a blogger's goal should be. I created a post before on what a blogger's first goal should be but it is just based mostly on what I have read. Melvin knocked me off to my senses and gave a whole new perspective on blogging with his submitted post on carlocab's blog entitled Your Biggest MoneyMaker? Reputation!

Reputation as money making tool
He stated that reputation would make you earn more money compared to what you earn today from making money online methods. It is the consistent brand/image building that would truly help you reach your goals. These goals would most likely compel you to write consistently:

• be considered as an expert in your field of choice
• numerous business opportunities within your niche
• high personal market value (inspired by Bo Sanchez)

It requires a lot of effort to achieve these goals but it is nothing compared to what you will gain in the future. By writing consistently, you are building an image to your readers on what you know about the things within your niche.

Video Archives - Mel And Joey

Just wanted to share a video of a TV show "Mel and Joey" here in the Philippines featuring blogs as a new trend in earning additional income streams. Actually this is kind of old since this video was aired in 2007.

The video featured Abe Olandres a.k.a. Yuga owner of YugaTech.com. I started to have an eagerness to learn about blogging when I saw Yuga and his blog in Business Magazine as an example of the new trend in e-marketing back in 2008. Didn't know anything about blogging back then but now I am thankful that I've started it and learn more about it as I blog.
