Blogging Made Easy, My New Catch Phrase

I changed my entrecard widget in a hope that the cards I approved will finally show up (but they still don’t). I contacted entrecard about it but I guess the reply will be available some hours or a day later, or none at all. I also installed a “top commenters widget” which I found here (Blogger Buster) and the “recent comments widget” here (Blogger Templates). Yes, those are basically the things I did before writing this post.

Anyway, have you noticed the new catch phrase and image I used to replace the old “sidebar-header”? It looks simple and straight to the point. ULUPONGDOTCOM, Blogging made easy, or perhaps, monetized-blogging made easy. After all, if you’re just going to blog just for the sake of making an online diary without any motives of earning from it or anything, blogging will be simply easy. I’m sure there are other blogs who have made the same “blogging made easy” line but haven’t made anything easy for most pro-blogger wannabes. I wonder how many of us are competing for the idea that monetized blogging can be made easy through us?

When you’re blogging to earn money online, it’s true that it has its fair share of rewards but the process will definitely not be easy. It needs a lot of effort to turn your blog into a money maker. All those techniques to promote and drive traffic to your blog, boost the readership, enhance its keyword performance, etc are simply nothing like a walk in a park. I’m not sure about others, but running a monetized blog is something like a full-time job and nothing like what most online marketers are presenting as easy-pickings even if you buy this and that e-book. Of course you learn and gain insights about blogging, but you’re not going to earn anything from your blog immediately. That’s why it’s really amazing how fast the population of blogs with adsense and other affiliate programs grow these days. A lot of people want to get in but only a few will really get something decent out of what they’ve started.

I guess the only way you could make things easy about monetized blogging is to give them tips that won’t enumerate endless steps they have to accomplish but make them understand how many of those steps are easy to accomplish. Inspiring them to continue refining their actions is a lot better than just drawing them with false promises to take action. If you make them feel that monetized blogging is difficult but fun instead of telling them to buzz off if they can’t bear the hardship, then I guess you’re successful at making blogging easy.

Tough words from someone who’s barely making any income online don’t you think? Maybe it is, but I already set this as my goal when we started this blog. It’s finding ways to make readers understand things easily. I just wish I’ll be able to live up to it for the rest of my blogging life.
