How to Start Blogging

I started blogging in 2006 and it was like sharing inspiring quotes and stories that I read online with personal opinion embedded in the posts. Two years after, a blogger friend shared her ideas on how to monetize the blogs. After 7 years, here I am and still active in blogging.

If you are interested in blogging, you should create a free blog site via Blogger or Wordpress For at least three months, write something interesting to gain visitors in your site. I suggest that you focus on a niche blog. Whether you love photography, travel, food, parenting and family, just create a blog in that specific category. Social Media is very important so; each time you publish your post, share it in all your social media account like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Gplus and etcetera. After 3 months with at least 90 posts, you can monetize your blog by then. If you want to purchase a domain, it's only $10/year. There is a monthly fee for self-hosted blogs too. Goodluck!

How to Get the PR Back

You must be wondering why your PR was gone. You are not alone and I guess, we will keep on wondering why forever, LOL. Do not despair though. As I have said, you are not alone. I have a PR3 and it was gone as in O for a long time. Eventually, I made my way from PRO to PR2 and I just follow some advice of those who are techno expert.

1. If you love posting pictures, make sure you label it. The crawler loves to read words and not numbers of your picture. Paste the picture at the middle ... say, paragraph -picture-paragraph.

2. Make sure you have a healthy and family oriented blog. Mr G does not like nasty topic. I do not want to mention what are those bad topics either.

3. Too many sidebar links. If you have those, it can truly kill your PR and it is really hard to gain PR's. If those links will not do your blog any good then, take it out.

4. Write good articles and title should be searchable on the web.

5. Update is important too because readers will keep coming back and it's a good way for traffic. You might say, "how come my blog that I did not update in ages got a PR?" I asked that same question over and over again. I can't give you a scientific answer but maybe, the answer is on #4.

5. Delete links that's not working anymore. Say, the advertiser wanted you to take off the links from a task you have written for them, be glad. Take it off! Do not delete the article. Nope!

6. Lastly, just enjoy blogging. When I had no PR for 2 years, I got more tasks and earn good. I keep in touch with my readers so; they visit me everyday. Cheer up!

Blogging Blessings

I was just checking on the files of album in my USB when I saw these pictures. I forgot to inform you guys that I got this for free. I got this from a task given to me by an Advertiser for Microsoft Ad. I only use this gadget one time when I did the task requirements.

Actually, I like this gadget but, I have problems with the video tranfer so, I lost interest in using this gadget.It comes with a small tripod which I never opened.
This year is good for my blogging activity because I got this item for free plus the iPad2 that I won from sponsoredtweets. Awesome really.This task was the highest paid so far because I have the software,cash,and video cam which all totalled to $500.
I am a stay at home wife so, blogging is my only means to earn a little bit. I got so much blessings this year and I hope it continues for the next year to come. Happy Holiday everyone.

Blog Hopping

I am doing my blog list revamp today! Therefore, I am doing my blog visit and left comments and just checking out the informative blog posts of Bloggers. I will be busy starting next week so, I am taking this time a fruitful and enjoyable blog hopping to other blogs:-) I love visiting to other blogs and leave a footprint! But, when I got hacked, I started to shy away from blogging! I was so furious that someone invaded my privacy! That happened Feb of last year and it took me more than a year to come back and become active in social media. Anyway, I am so careful now than what I used to before. So, today, I am doing my blog hopping and I will see you in a minute!

New Blog

I have been thinking to focus on blogging lately. As you can see, I have 4 blogs right now. Today, I made a blog titled MUSIC&INSPIRATION which I will be sharing my favorite songs. It will be about the music of my life and how it inspired me to live and love my life. I was watching EWTN channel at 2AM and it just dawned on me that each one of us struggle everyday. We felt pain and misery. Rich, famous, poor and outcast, all of us suffer. Looking back, I made a decision to stay happy and contented despite of the bumps of life. Did you know that when I am sad, I listen to sad music? Then, I reflect to the lyrics. I will cry then, I am refreshed! Yeah! That's odd huh? But, it gives me a positive outlook of life. Check my blog Okay? See you all there.
