i blog today!

Being an earning blogger is something I can be proud of myself. Thanks to a friend who introduced me to blogging way back in 2007. She was the one who built my very first website and she’d been so consistent in motivating me to keep going and not give up.

It was all complex at first, the HTML code thing, most especially. Back then, just staring at it alone already makes me want to throw up every time; but not until I’ve come to conquer that struggling phase. It was never easy. It took me some time to get fully familiar with its nature which I actually find challenging yet fulfilling along the way.

Few months after, my site started gaining authority from the search engines. Along with that progress was also the dawn of paid opportunities knocking at my door. The more I make, the more I get motivated to try harder and to learn more. Somehow with my persistence, I realized that the then almost incomprehensible thing for me has become simpler as the days went.

At the height of my developed passion for blogging, I found out that my friend quit and works for a private company instead. A part of me felt sad about that decision of hers but that didn’t stop me from going on.

By self-educating I’ve come to learn how to create a website on my own; in fact, I am not only helping myself but some friends and other acquaintances as well and I can’t help but feel proud each time. I always tell myself, “Not everyone is given the chance to acquire and develop such skills so I must be fortunate and therefore should be grateful enough to share what I’ve learned to others too”.
