Many aspiring bloggers today only need the money
fast. Their main purpose and intention for blogging
is to make fast money. I won’t blame them much,
Every blogger wants to be like Linda Ikeji because
she makes cool cash. Yes! I mean cool cash. The
term “Linda Ikeji” has now become the Synonym of
“A Blogger”. I am going to list out Five Reasons
why these so-called-bloggers can’t be up to (like)
Linda. Everybody is now a blogger! LOL!
1. Passion
Linda’s passion for blogging made her what she is
today. Until i watched Linda on Toolz’s Show,
“Juice”, i didn’t believe Linda started blogging
because she loves it. Most bloggers just need the
money, and not only needing it, they need it fast. I
remember a friend asking me to set up a blog for
him, i was curious why someone who doesn’t have
a good knowledge of the internet will want to go into
blogging. My curiosity made me ask him why, his
reply was “Woo, bros i need cash ooo. I need cool
money jare.”. I smiled, though i wasn’t able to
educate him on what blogging really is.
Passion really matters a lot in anything we do. Not
only in blogging but everything we want to succeed
in.
2. Copying and Pasting Habits
Copying and pasting is very common among
bloggers today. I don’t mean we shouldn’t copy or
publish good posts for your readers but it shouldn’t
be just too much! Writing your own post / Content
with one comment is better than copying other’s
with no comment. Some bloggers just go to popular
sites, highlight a post, copy, paste and publish on it
their blog.. .. No stress. right? Yes! They need more
and large traffic and posts so that google can
approve them for Adsense. Any one who calls
these type of people bloggers should be jailed. I
mean it. I am really mad about infringing on
copyrighted posts.
Informing the owner/writer of a post before coping
is not that bad. Please stop copying write-up or
materials that you are not legally granted to copy.
3. No New Initiation
Since Linda Ikeji Writes on News, Entertainment,
Gossips, Politics, e.t.c (Mainly News), Every
blogger wants to do the same. It will be easier to
ride a bicycle where only you is riding with 90
Meters, than Where ten people are riding with 30
Meters. Yep! I am very good in making analogies. I
didn’t copy that quote anywhere. I used it making
up this post. Hmmmm.. Back to what i was saying.
There is no body that can’t make it in blogging, only
if you don’t have what it takes. Blogging is not a
talent. No! It is a Passion-Turned-Job. Quote me
anywhere. There are other aspect or field, bloggers
can face and explore on. If you haven’t gotten what
i am saying in this section, I mean “CHANGE YOUR
BLOGGING DIRECTION” to a field where there are
no much competitors. There are thousands of
Entertainment/News Sites/blog in Nigeria today.
You can write on Health, Marriage, Family, Religion,
Technology, Money-Management, Jobs, Opinions
and lots more. These are just very very few aspect
you can face.. Also note that, when you set up your
blog for marriage or Family, don’t post News or
articles that are not related to the blog..
4. Time
Time is one great issue you must consider before
going into blogging, Many bloggers are like “Part
Time” Bloggers. I am not against part time blogging
when the site/blog in question is not a News Site/
Blog. Yes! It is not every day that you have
contents or articles to post on a Religion blog for
example. If you are running a News site or you are
about to, there is no doubt that you have to be with
an internet connected portable computer 24/7. This
is really a great task for people that need the
money. If you love blogging (as a passion now), you
can go any length. Linda Ikeji Doesn’t have anyone
who posts for her. So, she is always blogging.
Doing what she loves. Sometimes, when i visit her
blog, I will see post written around 4 A.M (I don’t
think they are scheduled posts). You can’t be a Part
time blogger (Like Jide Ogunsanya) when you are
running a News blog.
Upcoming bloggers go into blogging without
knowing what people want, what people love to
read. You have to get a niche for your blog before
embarking on any.
5. Determination
If Linda Was just looking for “THE MONEY”, she
would make it but not up to what she is getting now.
Determination can take you anywhere in live, aside
blogging now. Just be determined and you are there
smiling. Listen ! Take this as an example. Bola
loves writing(blogging)! Yes. That’s her hobby. But
most of her write-ups and articles are not read, not
to talk of commenting. She continued doing what
she loved best believing that one day people will
visit her blog, will have loads of comments and
people will love and thank her for what she loves
doing. That’s determination with Faith! I not a
religious person, but faith is not only used in the
church.
Now, when you have believed you are not blogging
for the money side, just be determined, do what you
love, be loved for what you love, and thank me later
for writing this article.
