Surfing for blogging.
Published by BloggerMom on Oct 8, 2007 at 11:19 PMBlogging requires content and consistency...which i guess rules out a whole lotta people...probably me too :-) I have been around and written stuff here and there before but seeing how blogging have exploded suddenly, I am all inspired to do it more often and with a purpose, more so with consistency and quality content.
I have been reading some stuff by all the probloggers like Darren Rowse, Yaro Stark and others. All the problog gurus will hammer the fact that "content is king". But it is also important to find
you niche to churn out the content...isn't it? I mean, you really have to be passionate
about something to write about it day in, day out eventually to take it to a point where you can
make a living out of writing on a topic.
All this is easier said than done..honestly. I tried to find what my niche was and came up with a laundry list of things I felt passionately about. I have even written about those things, be it yoga, politics or experimenting online money making options. So what do people with no niche do? Maybe write about the things without worrying about sticking into slot to get started with? Probably....
I thought hard and even harder, until I realised that there was one thing i just haven't stopped doing over the years. I have surfed the internet like there is not tomorrow since 1997, i guess. Sometimes I use it for more meaningful searches like recipes, consumer court info, find events and stuff...sometimes i just wilf (what was i looking for?) These days i surf to find interesting reading material on blogging and more specifically blogging for a living.
So that's it...that is what i better stick to. Surfing for blogging. If you dont have a niche...create one. Just be sure that you like it so much that it's something you are willing to invest time and energy in. Otherwise you'd get bored and drop it halfway and become one of those inconsistent folks.
More later...
