The Beggining of My Blogging Saga
March 16th, 2009 | Published in My Blogging Saga
Ok. I have made a decision and I have decided that whatever it takes I will get there. I am sure you can somehow associate with the idea of not having to work and get up every day at a certain hour, just because you have to.. go to your office which is actually not YOUR office and spend your time working for someone that doesn’t appreciate it, doesn’t value you as a person, can’t really stimulate you to do your best… and you even probably don’t like what you are doing. Well then the following might be interesting to you.
For some time now I have been reading and researching every possible book and topic on SEO and online marketing, blogging – personal/professional/corporate blogging. I have been a freelancer consultant for couple of companies and all their projects came up to be very successful in terms of ROI and traffic/leads generated…
It has been like 2 weeks since my last project for a cleaning company. After that seo project I realized that something doesn’t feel right. I have a day job, a loan to pay, and a life that i haven’t ordered.. and still I spend my time and energy helping other people achieve their dreams.. well, there is nothing wrong with helping other people but still I felt that working for someone is just not my destiny, it just doesn’t feel right.. I started feeling funny while seeing that my knowledge and my skills are actually working very well when put in practice and that what I do brings real money, but not to me…
So why not do it myself i thought, why not just sit, invest my time (my most valuable resource) and get to the point where my blogging and SEO skills start paying the bills..?
..then track, analyze, change, track again, analyze, change some more, multiply… Sounds easy enough, well it might even be easier than that, the only thing it takes is patience and sweat, sweat and patience. I won’t get there by simply thinking, having the know-how is not bringing any $ in my pocket. Even if I read all the books on the topic, then read them again… It takes practice… A lot of practice.. and then some practice… and focus.
So I stand here today to let the whole world know… I have made a decision and I will get there no matter what it will cost me. I want to be able to call myself a free person and how can you call yourself free when someone is telling you when to have lunch?
I will keep you all updated.. The saga continues…
