I was so DUMB. Blogging Opened My Eyes WIDE.

I started selling online back in 2007. Since then, I always stayed away from blogging, thinking, what a waste of time.

Who'd just make post after post, for the sake of a discussion? It may be fun in the beginning, but...

Not until recently, when I finally gave it a real try. All I did was made four little posts on my blog. Two of the posts were about sharing little tips and two of the posts were about asking reader's opinion about my new logo design and business model.

I GOT OVER 100 RESPONSES/COMMENTS.

And many of them contacted me for new opportunities about my other products.

I couldn't believe all this. I have been staying away from this thing for over two years whereas this little blogging thinggy can bring me huge results in just matter of days. It will connect me hundreds of people like me in just matter of few hours. It will allow me to share my message with a wide audience in just a matter of few seconds.

I mean, WOW.

And imagine the next BEST thing that happen to me? I found BC

What is your experience? Why did you start blogging?

Regds,
Deep

  ha ha..sorry..same time doesn't mean in few minutes..I meant over the last 3-4 days for the same blog posts. Well, other reason could be that I have a good subscribers base, so they participated and helped me. But the bottomline is, blogging is a perfect medium to connect. That's what is the eye opener for me.

  Clearly it comes from your subscribers list otherwise you would get 1 or 2 comments only for a new blog

I started blogging just for fun. Now I am a bit serious about blogging. BC is a real treasure to any blogger.

I have been at it for about five years... and I too have to admit that the responsibility required to run, what I consider, to be a good blog is really there.

I have learned a lot about myself, about the people that I am writing to, politics, social issues, etc.

If you go into it for the sole purpose to make money, you may not pick all these things up, but if you go into it as a labor of love for writing or sharing information, then you really can grow with your site.

  Definitely agree with you. I'm very new to the whole blogging scene (1 week worth of blogging so far!) but I really want to do my best so I can provide an informative blog with a lot of personal insight to things.
  
  I think spreading the info and sharing your opinion is all worth the hard work!

I started blogging in February of this year. Although I may not have many readers, I absolutely love the feedback I do receive. I've always enjoyed writing, but the interactivity with blogging is much more enjoyable.

  I promised my readers years ago, the few I have, that I would only delete replies if they were attacks for the sake of attacking, with no bearing on the topic at hand, or if they were just filled with obscenities.
  
  I let people have their say and do not edit them unless you are editing out the bad words.
