Have you ever thought that blogging can bring some change in you? Did blogging bring any change in you? If change is for better then as a blogger and a human being that change is welcome but if change turns out to be bad then there is need for the blogger to change his attitude and look at blogging from a different perspective.
This month I submitted my post to the Blogengage Blogging Contest #2. The article is about how to adapt to changes facing in blogging career. This set me thinking that the way there is need to meet changes in blogging career, blogging too can bring changes in the thinking of a blogger on his / her blogging journey.
A blogger has to change for changes in bloggingVsChanges in blogging can bring changes in you
The way our mindset changes as we grow into adult, a blogger’s mindset can also change along his blogging journey and some of the changes may chalk out some new capabilities. Do you see the following positive changes in you?
1. Blogging changes interests
When I first surfed internet and saw that money can be made online, I found paid to click programs as the simplest way to make money. Daily you just have to click a chunk of ads in your inbox. That is all. In fact my first article on this blog was “Make Easy Money with Trekpay“. I started this blog to promote paid to click programs but as I published the article I realized that something is not ok. What is this? Just a monotonous clicking of some hundreds of ads daily. This is not the right way to make money? This is not what I started blogging for? Then I diverted my interest to make money online other ventures like affiliate programs and blogging mainly.
2. Blogging improves writing
Blogging not only has given me a new hobby ( or a job if it turns out to be successful ) but also has brought enhancement in my writing ability. Reading top blogs like Problogger, Shoemoney, EntrepreneursJourney, DigitalInspiration and QuickOnlineTips makes every blogger write and write well to get more and more readers to eventually earn a sure future income just sitting in the comfort of home. Bloggers constantly ask these questions to self like what to write, how to write, and how frequently write. One year down the line, I am more comfortable with these questions. With publishing each article we understand social media, seo, fellow bloggers and gain insights and experience leading to sharpening blogging skills. So the moral is write, write often and write well.
3. Blogging teaches confidence
Blogging has taught me self-discipline. Today, blogging is like a race for better writing. Survival is the fittest according to natural theory. Similarly, one who writes better is the fittest and wins the race. The fear before pressing the publish button about how the article will be taken by its readers is generally seen among new bloggers and I too felt that way. But now I consider every article as my knowledge, views and experiences that I think are useful and share with others. With time, I have overcome my self-doubts with confidence and urge to move forward.
4. Blogging teaches patience
A blog’s success depends upon it’s content and traffic. Just setting up a blog and writing a few killer articles does not get readers. Effective marketing to social media and search engines is necessary for people to know about you and your site. Getting less or no comments, decrease in organic traffic, decrease in referral traffic, decrease in social followers, and guest post rejection can be a setback for a blogger. Getting complacent with positive developments and frustrated with downtrends will do no good. These are the testing times that a blogger has to accept and face bad patches with patience. I got worried when my blog alexa rank went back up to 350,000 in a few days but soon realized that it is not a worry but a reminder to me that I have to be regular and cannot leave my blog dormant.
5. Blogging meets new people
It is amazing how small this whole world is. Blogging brings people close together from all parts of the world. Since blogging is mainly about writing a blogger has no problem understanding the language or accent of fellow bloggers. I realized this while listening to some video tutorial which I could’nt understand because of different accent. But while blogging, bloggers share their views through blog comments and chatting and need not listen to other blogger’s voice. The three dofollow social sites I mainly visit to read great articles are blogengage, blokube and bloginteract and I am glad all have chatting features. Blogging helps in meeting new bloggers and share views.
I think blogging can bring positive as well as negative changes in a blogger but what makes a blogger shine is convert the negative changes into positive too.
Each of us reading and writing today have been influenced in one way or the other in the blogging world. How has blogging changed you?

Twitter is one of the popular tools that celebrities, web enthusiasts, news heads and bloggers use daily to tweet about them, friends, and their work. Twitter is an important tool for bloggers to communicate with fellow bloggers or find new friends, promote blogs and businesses . But if your daily tweeting activity can get you some extra money every month, what else can one want.
It has been quite some time since I have written an article on making money from blogging and when I thought of writing one, the immediate question wandering my mind was how much money does an average blogger make and how many bloggers make money without spending anything. Although there are lot many bloggers making money from blogspot blogs with adsense, affiliate marketing and sponsporships, today a self-hosted wordpress blog is considered as a standard blogging site in the blogosphere. So leaving the hosting and domain charges, how much can a blogger make from his blog without any paid advertising.
