Nowadays I write a lot; I read a lot, I spend time with my friends for a few hours. I can't give myself enough time to do some other creative things. Writing is obviously a creative thing. Still, I can do a lot of things. I can take care of myself. I can go to Habibs and get a hair spa, some facials to remove the tan. I can walk daily for one hour. And I'm not doing all these things. Actually, I'm much bothered about this blog. Will it be able to rank on the search engine (most especially Google) or not? As I have mentioned, that patience is so important, especially for bloggers. Rather than just waiting for ranking on SERP, I'm now writing a blog post every day, and it is extremely fun, especially the moment I click on publish button and the post gets live on the web.
Reading books is a great way to pass the time and enrich your knowledge. Even I have included some words in my vocabulary. And when you are going to write every day, you have to read a lot every day, otherwise, you can't write after a certain mark. For the last few years, my choice of reading has been completely changed. I read Himu (a fictional character created by Humayun Ahmed, quite famous in Bengali literature), I wore yellow Panjabi, and I loved to walk alone, sometimes. Time has been changed; my friends are getting busy, we don't find out any common time to gossip. So now I read business/trading/blogging related books and blogs. Where I get inspired by Bill Gates, as he wrote- he did not take leave in his twenties. I don't know, but this kind of activity encourages me more to be productive. I get charmed to read more, to write more, to spread my web more into the web.
When someone says- I want to create a blog. And I feel confused to give her a proper answer, to sort out her query. Should I suggest a book like Problogger or should I suggest her a guidance blog like Shoutmeloud? Or should I give her a lost of does and does not? One suggestion can I give you-> you can start your blogging journey with a blogspot blog by blogger. Creating a Blogspot blog takes less than 5 minutes. Then all you have to do- quality content, as content is the king. You can interlink your post after a certain time when you already have 20+ posts. My blog has 265 blog posts right now. So it takes two years to do. If you determine with your goal, if you can write a post a day or 4 posts in a week, it's really great. But if you want to make money, then you should take help of keyword researching. It can give you a rough idea about how much competition a keyword has. It's for everywhere. For example- my uncle has an Instagram page. He started it just for time pass, and now he gets more than 150 likes per photo. It's awesome.
So, even if you can't make any money from your first blog, don't be upset and leave blogging. My first blog made zero dollar. Still, I'm sticking to it. And I have got success also. But you know, success is a bad teacher. It makes you believe you are doing the best. Failure makes you humble. I have passed through a lot of failures. I have failed ten times more than I succeed. Sometimes it makes me pessimistic. And I really really hate that. I love to be optimistic. Dying is better than living with a pessimistic view. just saw a girl's post. Someone says- we live only once. Another one said- we die only once, but we live every day. She is very optimistic and loves to enjoy her life. Another one with pessimistic view posts- age is growing; tension is increasing, the pressure is increasing- we are going from bad to worst day. Highly frustrated in her life and pessimistic. I'm not this kind of pessimistic, I have faith in my blogs, and I know they will perform well one day. Anyway, no more now.
