The Evolution of a Blogger

The evolution of a bloggerMe?  I would never start a blog.

What? You mean I can get free things and earn some income from publishing online things I’m already writing?

*Googling how to start a blog.

BloggingWithAmy.com  and online!

Comments.  Must have comments.  Will blog for comments.

Oh my goodness.  Someone I DON’T KNOW left a comment on my post!!!!  Happy dance in the living room.

I need 200-300 hits a day before I can monetize?  Never, ever can I imagine that many people going to my site in one day!

How do you get traffic, and what is SEO?

Guess what?  I was offered $20 whole dollars!  Someone wants to give me 20 big ones to link to their website.  Wow.  I’m getting paid to write!

Gasp.  You’re not supposed to get paid for links?  Google will hate me?  Now what do I do?  How am I supposed to know all of this stuff?

Networking.  So many new friends.  I’m learning so much.  These people understand me!!!

Then one day…Traffic–check.  Page views–check.  Sponsors–check.  Long time dreamed of family vacation–check.

Time.  Where is my time?

Should I be blogging?

*”Should I be blogging”  is a question I ask myself regularly.  For now, I love what I am doing.  I love the friendships I’ve made, and the opportunities that God has provided my family through blogging.  My children love it.  My husband encourages my blogging.  So right now, my answer is yes I should be blogging, but it is something I will continue to evaluate.

    I love blogging and don’t see myself stopping any time soon. I have questioned myself in the past tho, especially when I just didn’t have time to keep up with it for a while. But I always came back to it.

    Your readers are glad you are a blogger 🙂

    Blogging is quite addictive!! I started my blogging journey back in 2011, and it just seems to be an even bigger part of all our lives as time progresses. My husband even jumped on board and has started writing blogging posts.

    We are all hooked, and yes, I feel we’ll be doing this for years to come. I’ve made so many friends and so many business connections it’s not even funny.

    I only want to get better at it, and I’m constantly digging in to see what I can learn next. 😉

    I am a huge fan of your page now, so don’t stop any time soon. I just found you not to long ago. Let me at least gain the chance to build a true friendship with you. 🙂
