Why is Blogging so special to me?
What I experienced in the past many years is developing the habit of writing is like building muscles. When you are a novice, seeing others’ bigger writing muscles may scare you to a great extent. And you may think about quitting before stepping into this noble profession.
Writing and creating content is a noble profession for me; if you are enlightening others in a positive direction by helping them to achieve their goals or become a better version of themselves.
At the beginning of your writing career, many people, friends, and relatives will criticize you. And tell you that no one can survive on writing. After listening to all their nonsense, you may start to doubt whether you can make a career in writing or not. Learn to handle criticism.
These people have never played any professional sports, and they’re telling you there is no such thing as professional sports.
Trust me, anyone in this world can build the habit of writing to create a magnificent writing carrer. But it will take continuous efforts and passion. Learn from your mistakes and move ahead in your writing career. Get that mindset of the successful writer or content creator. I suggest you start reading books as much as you can. Reading books can transform your life completely.
Before coming to writing or professional content creation, I was into coding and application development as I’m mastered and certified expert in dot net framework. In those days, I created many apps and websites. But I was not feeling fulfilled by the work that I was doing. But at that time, I was desperate to reach more people and represent my projects to them. But there was no way to do so.
For more than three years, I tried everything to reach more people to show my app and project, but I failed tremendously. Coding was not allowing me to meet and interact with new people.
I started feeling depressed but never expressed my feeling to anyone. At that time, I was feeling lost and not finding the meaning of the things I was trying to do.
As I already said, Books can transform your life, and they certainly do. The only thing that you need to take care of is which book to pick for reading. Friends, always remember buying a book is never an expense. It is always an investment. I love reading books and respect every author who has written at least one professional book.
After collecting all the ancient and modern wisdom from books that enlightened me and connected me with my lost spark, I realized that writing or blogging is the thing that can make me feel fulfilled. But I was afraid of writing professionally, as I was a rookie in writing.
Indeed, this writing world was unexplored territory, and I was scared of professional writing. I always assumed that writing was the profession of intellectuals and not the commoners. Only reputed and higher-position people have the right to publish something commercially for others. And we don’t come in that category.
But reading lots of books helped to overcome that narrow mindset, and I started thinking big. My life started transforming from there. And I started building that writing muscles gradually.
As many of my readers and friends may know, I love bigger, better, and stronger muscles. As a hustler, you can not build bigger muscles without 100% commitment to your task. After that, you will require to live a disciplined life. So I grind as much as possible to grow that writing pulsation. In that way, I was moving forward in the right direction.
Now, I was questioning myself, where should I start writing professionally?
Finally, I turned to professional Blogging.
I started my first professional blogging site in 2013. But, it failed for the first two years as my content writing muscles were not strong. But I continued working on that muscle. But the best thing about that time was I was learning writing articles to put on that blog.
Indeed, I was feeling fulfilled and happy. Those were the two things I was missing while I was coding professionally. Writing made me feel connected with myself and allowed me to interact with new people through my articles and content.
People were commenting on my blogs and sharing their views regarding the content. It inspired me and motivated me to write more. Meanwhile, people started sharing my content on social media and supported me in the best possible way.
I was sensing the cool breeze of the mountains, inspiring me to write something never written before. I tried to write every single day. No matter what I was writing. But I kept writing something.
After a few months, I noticed that google and other search engines started sending organic traffic to my blog. And my articles organically started jumping to top-ranking spots.
I realized that I need to master the skill of Search Engine Optimization for my blog. Meanwhile, I launched many blogs, made some money from them, and sold some because I was not able to work on all of them.
Today, I believe that I have built those muscles strong enough. Writing fresh content or blogging gave me everything. I have made thousands of dollars through this lucrative art.
And every month, I receive a good amount of money pouring into my bank account. Writing or blogging helped me to learn Content marketing, Search Engine Optimization, Copywriting, Email marketing, Running paid marketing campaigns, Video presentation, and Strategic planning of the business goal.
Writing allowed me to run my online business. Although, it was a rough ride. But I learned many valuable lessons like business is all about connecting with genuine people and helping them to fix their issues.
I truly believe that If I can do it. Then anyone can do that. And I’m not yet done. I have just begun, and my path is clear and visible in front of me.
Don’t listen to certain people telling you that you can’t make your space in writing or any other area. They are wrong and not aware of the potential that you hold within. Listen to your heart and take calculated risks in life. I’m sure if you are moving through a tunnel, then keep moving at this moment because there is light at the end of this tunnel.
Writing or blogging empowers me and makes me realize the power of copywriting to serve people and humanity. For example, if you ask me what I think about myself after pursuing writing and blogging for many years.
My answer will be something like this. Although I always keep others before myself. That’s what I have learned from my elders and seniors. Right or wrong, I don’t know. But I consider myself the most insane person when it comes to doing something important or learning something valuable. I’m the kind of person who stays last at the gym because he wants to build bigger & stronger muscles without getting disturbed by others.
