How I Started My Blogging Journey
Back in 2007, when I was working as a software engineer in IBM, I was looking for some extra income opportunities online. Although I am not sure how, but I came to know that we can make money online also.
With this I came across many online money making schemes, data entry jobs, MLM programs and many more types of Work From Home options. But I never got any confident or Legit ones to trust on them. In fact I spend money for few of them and discovered majority of them were scams.
Gradually I was exploring on internet and one day I came across Google AdSense program. Then I found out ShoutMeLoud.com and came to know about Harsh Agarwal. Although it was a very early stage for Harsh Agarwal as well, but I actually follow him from his early days of blogging.
In between a lot of things happened, but that’s how I came to know about blogging. As a full-time software professional I was spending time to learn various things in blogging on free times only. I was never serious about blogging till 2012. Till that time I tried few blogs and experimented a lot on Blogger.com.
Creating an adsense account was very easy that time. I still remember, I applied with a sub-domain with just a few page website and I got approval immediately. But it took more than 2-3 years time to reach the first $100. And reason behind that is simple, I was hardly work seriously on blogging.
But in 2012, I have shifted to WordPress for the first time and spend more than 25,000 INR for web hosting, website design, domain etc. And that day I have realized the importance of investment in blogging.
From 2012 till 2018, I was blogging as per my free time. During that period I was able to make some money through AdSense. Then in between due to various Google update, I lost few blogs and while researching further I came to know about Affiliate Marketing.
I stopped with AdSense blog from 2015 and completely focused on Affiliate Marketing. I have created blogs around WordPress products, Coupon Niche etc and tried level best to make money through affiliate marketing. It worked sometimes, but that was mostly random.
In 2018, I took a solid decision to consider my passion for blogging seriously. Then I started interacting with many top bloggers. Well, as a part-time blogger, I never communicated or interacted with any other blogger to make friend. And that was one of my biggest mistakes.
Anyway, in 2018 I have started my Facebook Group and from that time I never looked back. I started a new blog Bloggingjoy.com and started sharing amazing articles about blogging that people liked a lot. I got very good feedback as well.
In 2019, I did an experiment on Black Friday Cyber Monday and I was able to earn more than $7500 in just 4 days. This has completely changed the way I was blogging since 2009. In fact I got very good authority in this niche of blogging & affiliate marketing and featured as expert in many roundup posts, interviews etc.
So, that’s all about my blogging journey in a very short way. I am sure you will find this journey motivational and able to take action to make your blogging dream true.
