You may think that i consider myself as a self proclaimed critique , but i am not.
The reason why i bring up this issue on the forum is that i see many people , blogging , to earn few dollars , publicizing various products , advertising on their blog , more than they actually " BLOG ".
These people join various blogging communities , groups , various bloggers sites etc etc , to increase their alexa rank or some other rank which i dont know about , so that they can get advertisements . better ADS . many ads . ADS , which pay them few cents only if the " LINK " get clicked enough .
There are many people , who blog to earn those "few dollars " , they publicize the company , or their product . But , they get those " few dollars " only if they get a deal from YOU or there's more traffic coming from your blog toward their site , thereby increasing their sales . and well what you get in return from that huge favour is those "few dollars " .
well , i am NOT saying here that "blogging to earn " is BAD . if thats what you got by reading this post , then i am failed in my true motive , for which i posted this .
Its good , really appreciable if you can earn from blogging , i may do the same thing in the future . BUT , not at the cost of your valuable , precious TIME .
What i really wanted to say is that when you blog , you do give it your time . like , i took some time writing this post . so , when you get an ad , which promises you " few dollars " for x number of clicks on their ad , then you spend your time publicizing it , posting it in different ways , promoting them on you blogs , site , and your friends blogs too . all this occupies your time . it becomes an obsession too , for some people . earning those " few dollars " . BUT the sad part is , that you get those dollars if your ad gets enough CLICKS .
so , when you promote the company's product , which promises to give you those dollars for selling their product , you may get it . you may get those dollars . but at what cost . you spend your valuable time publicizing it , the company earns from your publicity. you definetely get those dollars , but the deal comes out to be very profitable for the company . they earn ranging from hundred to thousand dollars !!
yeah , thats a fact . i know , you must be already aware of that . BUT , unfortunately , we still do it . The essence of TRUE BLOGGING is lost nowadays . Blogging is meant to be sharing what you know or what you want to share with the people .
you could have saved that time of yours , by making improvement in your career , relationship , LIFE , instead of promoting that company , that too for those " few dollars " .
well , today there are many full time bloggers too , who earn their bread n butter through blogging . well , i dont hold anything against them and i wish they continue to earn more in the future . my best wishes for them .
BUT not everyone earn their living from BLOGGING , not you and me !!
so , save that time of yours , and put that in something useful . to improve your LIFE
and also blog what you want to blog about , share what YOU want to share .
lastly , i would like to add that you may earn those dollars , maybe not . but if you earn someone's good will from blogging , its worth it .Tommorow , those dollars may disappear ( you may spend it publicizing your blog ) , but the true good will ( the GOOD WILL ) never disappear.
It always stays with you . ALWAYS .
SO , KEEP BLOGGING , KEEP SHARING AND STAY INSPIRED .
cheers to life !!
