Blogging for money! The dilemmas ..
It's been a while since the last time I post something here beside those crappy pictures, videos or musics. I've been 'dramatically' busy lately with things at the office and also some other things that needed to be done ;)
Let's talk about blogging shall we. Yep .. For me blogging is part of my life. Started my first blog in 2007 with WordPress.Com and never get bored to blog! Blog gave me freedom to think and to express what I feel. Until now, I think I’ve published more than 100 blogs. That’s not much, I know someone that has more than 300 active blogs? Don’t ask me how to manage those blog.
Back in 2008, I was introduced to Google Adsense. That time I had blogs that get more than 1000 visitors per day. So I register myself to Adsense and start earning money from it. In average, I get $150 - $200 per month from Adsense. It super for me! Blogging and earning money what can be better?
But then I felt something’s wrong. The fun part of blogging starts to disappear along with the Adsense cheques that I received. Yes, the fact is I start to post nothing but to get money. Scrappy contents, spammy links, social media exploits and other things that leads me to become ‘no fun money blogger’.
I know that there are bloggers that can still enjoy the fun part of blogging while they are earning money from it. But good lord! It needs a lot of efforts and a good management to do that.
For instances, blogging is all about contents. And blogging for money needs more contents. If you can’t manage yourself to create quality contents, then you’ll end up rewriting or worst, copying contents from others. In some case, autoblog become your best partner in crime. Yup, with autoblog you’ll have nothing but scrappy and spammy blogs! Poor!
This is what I call blogging for money dilemmas. How to deal with it? I found it simple, don’t blog for money. Blog for fun! Hehe .. I know that doesn’t solved the problems .. Guess I’ll get back to you when I found the solutions .. ;)
