Hi there, Diamond Glamour Girls,
When my oldest child came home from school one day and told me I should blog. I told him I didn't know what he was talking about. He was kind enough to explain it and help me set it up. He explained I can use it to express all the experiences of running a businesses.
I know this will sound different to some people. Our family when he was a child believed in showing off for each other and telling each other stories about our lives. He knew as a single mom head of household (as taxes or RIS calls it) I needed to make more money to support my fAmily. I know there are thousands of woman like me. I told him I don't know what your talking about family. Helping my elderly mom and her second husband who is struggling with a bunch of elderly complications. My son, knew how much I was struggling to make ends meet. That's what they use to call it. If I tell my story it's a woe is me, story. Therfore, I don't enjoy listening to it myself, so I don't expect you too. I'll stop with the personal and deal with the reality of blogging. I understand to many bloggers it's made up stories and videos, however this one is true and real and all that.
I was reading about how to get more audience to read my blog when, the "Inktober" was about to start. I thought to myself is there something like that for bloggers. I know how to ink and water color and paint I thought to myself. Then I realized that I would be starting a whole new career. I can't give up on something my child wanted for me. Therefore, I will perservire. I looked up if there were anything like this for bloggers. There is. I wrote blog post for thirty days. Something I usually did once or twice a week.
I had two goals.
1. To grow my reading audience.
2. To learn how to make it a substantial income.
Here's what has happened.
Believe it or not I was able to grow my audience. Not only grow my audience have people return and read the next one. That took me by surprise. It was a pleasant surprise. I kept on. What is it "they" (people who make a living at blogging) do that I am not doing?) I researched and continued trying to understand what I was doing.
I still am like other creative people trying to understand the difference between a good blog, a blog that just writing for the sake of writitn and a blog that has a value. What really is the difference? The reader determines what is relevant and worth reading for their own lives. I started this blog as a gossip and therefore, does it have world appeal.
The second goal to make money. Did I? In thirty days? I'd have to say yes. Will I be paid cash for this effort? In time. How much time I don't know. I think I make money because of two factors one. I added an affiliate program like Amazon.com.
Therefore, any products I was talking about I could show the person. Letting them have freedom of choice if they want to purchase it or not. The second reason is that people around the world were kind enough to click on an advertisement. Taking a second or two out of their day to view or read a commercial. Now I will make it a point to do that for others. It's not a have too, more like a want to. Passing it forward.
