Blogging With Billy Koesoemadinata

The world of internet nowadays, has been much more easier to the users. Back in the past, it was never thought, that would be a ‘creature’ named blogs in the future. But now, blogs don’t just created nor presented, but also could worth of living for.

Facts are already in the filed, which with having a (or maybe some) blogs, so we can gain any advantages from it. The advantages could be on money – dollars, or also local currency. Because, with the system which is developed and used right now, currency don’t longer something forbidden to be used on business.

So, how do we make living from blogs? If this question asked to they who’s still don’t-know-anything, of course they can’t answer it. But, if it asked to them who’s already on the blogging world – years maybe, especially for they who’s became a full-time blogger, they would answer the same thing, “Monetizing Blogs!”

Yes. Right. Monetizing blogs. Or, making money from blogs. It doesn’t mean the blogs that we own then sold to other parties – it didn’t close that possibilities, but refers to using blogs to sell, or even give good & great services to other people.

The services which we can give as a blogs owner – blogger to other people, have lots of kind. For example, displaying ads, banners, ‘til product review of other people on our blogs. Usually, the compensation that would be paid for the services isn’t big enough. But then, if it counted per day, and then multiplied to the millions of possibilities that could happen, so the income of the compensation would be not bad, or even HUGE INCOME!

I won’t describe one by one of how to make our blogs could make some income. But, I’ll describe it on my next posts. Because I know, this thing is so interesting to be explained. More over, to some people who’s trying (or maybe dying) to be a blogger, and make money, but have limited informations.

For this time (just a while), I hope all bloggers could change the point of view to their blogs. And also, think about the ways to monetize blogs.

Cheers!

The core of blogging, is to spread our thought about something, either through writings, or pictures. It just, blogging is about sharing. And, with sharing, blogger – the nicknames for people who blogs oftenly, get well-known by public.

Ways for spreading our thought through blogs, are provided by so many provider, even it was reliable. Name it! Wordpress, Blogger, until local content such as Dag Dig Dug, and also Blog Detik. And, all of the blogs provider didn’t take any payment! In other way, it’s FREE! And, of course, blogging is now easy.

Well, when blogging is now easy, it would be better if we had blogs. Why? Because now internet had been a world which live so many people who’s user on internet. And, through blogs we became the citizens of that world, and all people from around the world will know us.

So, how do we have blogs? Hmm… it’s a piece a cake! Just register yourself to one of so many blogs service provider, take a username, password, and then take the domain of your blogs (it’s look like website domain, but usually the domain was subdomain of the blogs service provider). After we had our domain address, choose the template/theme of our blogs (usually, the blogs service provider, had lots of it), and WALLA! We can go blogging.

If blogs are already had, oftenly we confused and can’t understand, how will it be the continuity of our blogs? Well, the most used ways to do it, just blogs! Writing and uploading pictures which we have through blogs publication, is a general blogging. But how if we just don’t used to write, or even upload pictures/photos? I’ll tell you how.

Ways to Blogs Effectively
Here few blogs which I done lately. If you feel confused/don’t understand, please comments on it. I’ll be waiting for the feedback.
1. Write what we like.
It could be our diary, our hobbies, things which we just seen/heard/felt of ANYTHING! Because, as I told before, the essence of blogging is sharing. So, just share anything!
2. Use the easy-to-understand languages.
The simple languages, like the languages which we use daily, are more easy-to- understand by the people who read our blogs. So, it will be easier to understand of what are we trying to share to them.
3. Don’t forget to use smile!
Because with smileys on our blogs, it will make our blogs and writings or postings, will be closer to our readers, lighter, and friendly.
4. English? Why not?
I said English, this is for people who don’t use English as their daily languages. English is an international language, and internet is an international network. To get the sympathy of international network, which the users all around the world, English would be the understandable language. But, if we like the local language – which in my case, Indonesia, because I live in Indonesia, it’s also okay. There’s no warnings not to use it.
5. Continue.
People who interested nor ever read our blogs, if they found something which is interesting, they would come back to seek the newest post of our blogs. And, the most effective to get their interest, is the blogs must have the continuity.
6. Up to date!
Well, this thing is the vital thing. Because, even though the previous 5 steps has already done, if it don’t up to date, I’m certain that our blogs visitor will loose their interest to keep reading our blogs. With publishing the posts which updated – whatever it will be, it would be more interesting than new post, but old news.
7. Blogwalking.
This way is quite effective to tell people and also most internet users, about the existence of our blogs. With blogwalking, usually it would be noted from where the visitor of our blogs. For example, if we visit the blogs on wordpress, so the origin of blogs will be noted. And, don’t forget to give comments in every blogs we visited! With commenting their posts, the blogs owner will visit back to our blogs, and they would be wanted to know further about the people who commented on their blogs.

The 7 ways of blogging effectively, doesn’t to be done all of it just to keep we blogs. You can take one of it, or none of it, the choice is yours. Because, we-ourselves know what and why we blogs than other people, right?

I hope, it’s useful.
