Blogging has been part of an interesting career for me because it actually teaches me more about what internet marketing is at my own pace. I was blogging for a while till I got my niche to blog about website reviews in the form of video. I had been testing and trying different ways of blogging. This topic is written in response to Seth Godin’s blog about writing like a blogger.

When Seth said something like this, it actually gives me an idea that blogging is a skill by itself. When I start to blog, I always look for new things to learn and to add on. Because blogging industry is not really that old after all… It is even less than 10 years old! And yet, more and more people are starting to blog! We blog with our own direction. We blog with our own learning curve. We blog by learning from different angles as well. Never did we know that blogging itself is also a lesson to be learnt!

Blogging actually reveals a person’s thinking. It gives us a very good idea about what a person really wants. The blogger might not be writing anything personal. But from the way he is writing, you can start to see the kind of direction that he is going unknowingly over the days, months and years. Like Seth said, every blog post is just an idea piling on a thesis over time. So as the time goes by, you will start to see what makes a blog unique.

In fact, blog is like a business. If you are very excited about your own business at the very beginning stage, you will start to build up the momentum at the beginning stage. But as you build up, and you just don’t feel like working because of circumstances, your business will start to go down. In other words, we have to maintain our excitement till the business ends. It not only gives the blog a whole new fresh look every time, it also gives the people feeling like coming back for more. Business is always an ongoing process. Everyday, we have to make money on a consistent basis. If we stop, the business stops and we will have no money to spend anymore.

Keep blogging. Give yourself the best in every post that you write. Write as though it is your last post every day!
