Revisiting The Foundation!

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

When progress slows down to a halt, what do you do? In practical day to day living, there comes a time when all that you know seems to fail at getting you across a particular threshold. You just feel stuck! You have no clue what went wrong and how to get going (maybe that sounds familiar). Well, that is what happened to me of recent.

I sit before my computer and I am blank. Yes, I practically have no clue what I should write about. Even though things are happening around me, I just do not feel like writing about them. However, whenever I visit other blogs or forums, the inspiration flows as my fingers dances up and down on the keyboard (I am an amateur touch typist, doing 50wpm). Some comments I make on other peoples’ site can as well pass for a short post. (more…)

Jonathan Elendu a Nigerian blogger who is based in US was arrested on Saturday 18th October upon arrival in Nigeria, for “sponsoring a guerrilla news agency”. When Nigerian Curiosity dropped a note for me on the issue, I thought it was a joke, but alas it is real!

Jonathan Elendu is the blogger behind Elendu Reports. His writings focus on events happening in Nigeria and his articles covers activities of political office holders. I am not a fan of political news, and I simply prefer talking about financial survival in Nigeria above other national issues. However, I owe a duty to my conscience to decry this infringement of Mr. Jonathan Elendu’s basic human right. If he has committed a crime, he should be charged to court and not held indefinitely while being denied access to his family.

StumbleUpon

If you want free quality traffic for your blog or website, I suggest you check out StumbleUpon. When I first started blogging, I relied heavily on free traffic being provided by Entrecard. The traffic from Entrecard was basically other bloggers like myself who are looking for ways to promote their websites. Some call such traffic junk traffic, I call it good traffic for a newbie. You will not get motivated to continue blogging if your statistics shows that it is only you and your family members that know that your website exist!

Well, it is over six months now that I have been blogging with focus. I felt it was time to try some other means of getting traffic. I started using Digg to promote my blog, but I discovered that the effect was not much and it is often a one-day effect. StumbleUpon offers a better result. (more…)

Why Do You Blog?

What do you wish to accomplish through blogging? Okay, let me be more specific, what do you wish to accomplish with your blogging activity in the next 6months, 1year, 5years etc? As I study professional bloggers who practically live on the income they generate through blogging. I am beginning to appreciate one of the key factor that distinguish them from the hobbyist blogger.

Most people who blog just want to earn a little extra cash from the internet. Even though they work tirelessly at their blog, they do not really treat their blogging activities as a real business. After all, the virtual world is not the same with the physical world. Visitors to the blog are not viewed in the same light as physical human beings that enter a shop will be viewed. But are they really different? (more…)
