I have said it before and I will say it again. I love blogging because it keeps me sane. I also love the fact that as I keep myself sane, I get paid to blog.
Back in 2004, I caught a former colleague laughing her heart out in her cubicle. I got curious then she told me why she was laughing hard. She asked me, Have you tried blogging?. I was probably deaf or she really did not say it loud enough for me to hear because I heard her say PLUGGING. So I told her a story how me and my classmates when into this radio station to plug about a certain event at our school as part of our project. The she cleared to me that she was asking about BLOGGING. That is how I was introduced to this online diary.
During the first years, I only blog when I am happy, angry, excited or depressed. Most of the things I wrote were about my feelings and nothing else. I guess my teenage life was not that exciting. Hahaha! Then I got married and had my first born. At this point, I was slowly learning that writing about the things that interest me could also interest others, specially the experiences of a first-time mommy.
In 2008, I met fellow moms who became my teachers and friends. They taught me how I can make money in blogging. Up to now, they are still my friends and we earn together online.
I may not be earning much at this point but I do not worry because I enjoy blogging very much, not to mention I get paid at the comforts of my pajamas. 🙂
I am participating in a blogger campaign by Bucks2Blog and was compensated. However, the views and opinions are my own.
Doing what you like and getting paid for it is truly fulfilling…also, working at home had advantages over going everyday to the office…keep it up!
