new viral marketing.

Professional Blogging - The Way to Go?

It has been quite a while since the last time I have posted. I thought of taking time out from my too stressed out life and worries to finally take out the laptop and write.

Writing has always been in my system. When I feel up, when I feel low, I write. When I feel mad, when I am happy, I write. In the modern genre, blogging is to journaling for the not so young (but young at heart, though). For the not so young at heart but nevertheless can still and find time writing, in their diary or in their ever so famous Moleskins, its still the same - journaling.

In the world of high tech gadgets & computers, blogging can be a form of relaxation. It can also be a form of helping out & getting out information via the Web & thus make it a profession. I always thought of making a profession out of blogging. On the other hand, I was thinking where should I go so I can learn how. Writing on blogs is one but professionalizing it is another story.

So, what should one expect in professional blogging & other internet marketing related projects? How would you want your professional blog & other internet marketing related projects be?

Firstly, aside from the knack & the ability to write, one has to know the ins & outs of the profession itself. Secondly, you should know whom to learn it from. Thirdly, your desire & passion to excel in the profession you intend to go to should be par excellence!

With the above, how should your professional blog be? I have enumerated below, six(6) things any bloggers for that matter would want their professional blog be:

> simple but relevant
> because of it's relevance, traffic is enough to be included in the 1st page of the Google list
> because of the traffic, I can monetize it
> because of the passive income I can get from the project/blog, I can spend more quality time with my loved ones & myself
> because I do not have to spend the whole day dwelling on it, I can be relaxed & stressed free
> and most importantly, I am happy with it, thus the passion & desire to continuously develop it is always present

From a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the highest, I would say, that if I scored at least an 8 or a 7 based on the above-mentioned "wishlist" for my blog, as the famous professional blogger & internet marketing guru, Anton Diaz, would say, "I already have attained my ultimate day!"

CHRISTMAS - IN MY OPINION

It's been a year since the last time i posted in this blog. I have neglected what i think is the most uplifting, relaxing & stress-free activity one can ever have - blogging. Blogging, just like journaling is one way of relieving yourself of the numerous humdrum of your daily living.

Today is December 25, 2007 - 1:38AM, our time in this part of the world. As always, Christmas in our world is something everybody looks forward to. It's a time of gift giving, partying, time for children enjoying their "Santa Claus" syndrome. Christmas this side of the globe is almost an over month-long celebration. If people from the United States celebrate their Thanksgiving Day with a big bang, our big bang is Christmas. If people from the United States mark the beginning of their Christmas Holiday rush after Black Friday (is it?), in our world, after the Halloween, the holiday rush begins. You can hear department stores, radio stations, public places playing Christmas songs. Houses & stores start displaying their Christmas lights & other Christmas-related displays.

I have had my share of that Santa Claus syndrome, too when i was a kid. But that was when i was a kid. I usually look forward to what Santa might give me for this year. I use to hang my socks in our bedroom window & wake up in the morning with my socks & with it my gift. Almost always, my parents make it a point that i get what i wish for every Christmas. As far as i can remember, i always would want a book for Christmas. Every year, my parents gave me all sorts of fairy tale books.

Sadly, i do not share their conviction of introducing this syndrome to my kids. I tell them that Santa Claus is a legend. That Santa Claus, as per legend, really give gifts only to good boys & girls. But as i have explained to them, even if Santa does not exist, they will always have to be good boys & girls. And for good boys & girls, reward is always in the offing regardless of the season.

For me, Christmas, is the same every year. At least that's what i have been experiencing since the time i reached the age of maturity. The rush, the food, the gift-giving, the expenses, the visits to relatives, reunions. All being done in such a short time - all squeezed in to fit the holiday spirit. It's sad to note that because people hurry up for the preparation, rushed for the shopping of gifts - people fail to realize the real essence of the Christmas celebration. For Christians, Christmas ought to be re-living, remembering, the greatest gift one has ever offered. Jesus Christ. Much that i may sound corny or too religious, there is really a Super Being, who offered & sacrificed a great deal for mankind.

I was just wondering - during his actual birth - there was not much of a hullabaloo, right? In fact, no one knew, except those that were chosen that the Son of God was born. I just wish that despite the rush, the gift giving & partying around us, we could pause & try to meditate, contemplate & ask ourselves, am i really worthy of the gift this great Super Being has given me? Am i suppose to enjoy & be happy when i know that a few years from now this very same being will die on the cross for the sins of mankind? Is Christmas a "seasonal" celebration? Shouldn't be Christmas, at least the spirit, an everyday thing? As the song goes - give love on Christmas Day - why only on that day? Shouldn't it be - give love everyday?

Well, humans are humans. You are not human if you don't err. But - love as always encompasses all human flaws. Whether it's Christmas or just one of those days, if love is maintained - peace will be obtained. Because as the other song goes - love is the greatest of all.

Merry Christmas people.

WHAT IF . . .

Everybody will agree that living your life is as complicated as being a Grade 1 pupil & trying to understand the mechanics of Physics, right? However, given the necessary training & support, everything can be learned. They say that when you talk with babies while still in your tummy or perhaps letting them listen to classical music can create a genius. Some may agree, some may not. I don't know but i have read it somewhere (sorry forgot the exact title of whatever study was that), it can happen.

I am a mother of 4 & somehow tried it. It worked. I must say that i did not do it consistently to all of them but i tried a bit of this & a bit of that from the eldest through the youngest. It helped. Of course, i must say that with or without that, genes has got something to do with it. :) Oh, well . . . what i am trying to say here is that all things can happen the way you want it to happen if you want it to happen. I must have confused you there for a while, ha?

Anyway, having said this, what if we create a world that is based on a co-existence mission. I mean in the stricter sense of the word. Of course, everybody must admit that everybody needs somebody to exist, right? A man needs a woman - uhmm, well, that's debatable :); we need oxygen which plants give out, plants need carbon dioxide which human gives out & so forth & so on. I would like to share with you a site, where one can be a member for "free", can share whatever passion you have, whatever business you have & anything you would want to share. You can learn & earn at the same time all in the name of "co-operation" & "co-existence". We must admit that people has the tendency to live with a sense of "lack", thus others are greedy. Everything is done for a profit. Along the way, others are victimized just so others can earn. In this Co-Op World site, others earn, but they earn for the members, for a cause. Not just for the heck of earning. Others volunteer, because they want to help. Others are there for community help, charitable things.

I was lucky i was introduced to this site by an e-mail pal, whom i met just recently. I would say that majority of the people out there in the "net-world" is there to scam you out. But this person is different. He goes out of his way to help - for free. Don't misconstrue me. Of course, common sense would dictate & your instinct would tell you if people are worth helping or just out there to take advantage of you. Discernment. That's what makes us different from the rest of the species. You've got nothing to loose if you try:

You won't regret you did. And incidentally, the site is in it's developmental stage. So it would be challenging to join in a world that would soon create a difference. There is still hope . . .

HOPE

I enjoy watching the sunset. For me, it's a form of hope. Another day have passed, thus another day will come. It gives hope to whatever you have in mind. From a broken heart to a broken vase, from a long lost friend to a new acquaintance. For all the things you are longing to all the things you are yearning - HOPE - is all yours for the taking.

There are days when it seems like nothing fell into its proper perspective. Just the same, hang on, and without you knowing, it somehow will. Hoping is a also a choice - you could choose to hope or lose hope. But just the same, choosing to lose hope is still a choice, right?
Why would one lose hope over hoping? HOPE is the ultimate choice, a source of motivation in aspiring to fullfill your dreams. As long as you are breathing - HOPE is out there, waiting. It's how you use HOPE - that would create a difference.
