Dear Future Blogger,

I have been in your shoes, nearly two years ago I was contemplating all of things that there are to consider in starting a blog.

Like you, I had done my research before jumping into it. I had read about the benefits of blogging and what it takes to run a successful blog.

I was both excited and nervous: Did I have what it would take to create a successful blog? Would people really be interested in what I have to say? Did I have the time to put into a blog? Did I have the money?

Even though I had researched what it would take it still felt like a leap of faith because I had yet to take the actual action steps of … [Read more...]

Blogging Frequency: Should You Publish More Or Less?

by 115 Comments

blogging frequency rules

Blogging is all about updating. It is about maintaining an open diary and updating it so that everyone can read it.

If you blog in order to promote your business or if you treat your blog (the website) as a portal for your business, then you need to be updating your blog regularly.

Yes "regularly" or "consistently" is the key. You need to find a blogging frequency which suits you (or your blog) and then stick to it.

Now I get some blogging starters often ask me "How to find the right blogging frequency?". Although the short and easy answer is "by trial and error" I'm sure that won't be an answer that would satisfy a newbie blogger who has started the struggle.

After all, blogging has so much more to worry about and if finding a blogging frequency is itself a challenging issue, frustration won't be too far.

Christmas Weekend: Celebrate The Birth Of Jesus Christ

by 13 Comments

Hello my dear readers of Problogging Success, this is an off topic post, obviously! I actually want to thank each and every one of you for being a wonderful part of me.

I started doing online business back in 2007 and things have changed drastically since then. And if there's one, most important lesson that I should never forget about doing a business, it is to "keep" my readers/followers/customers.

Well, I hate to say "customers" but that's the business version of it, lol.

Anyways, one of the most important messages I want to convey in this post is that I am so happy that this is THE time of the year when almost the entire world is celebrating the birth of my Savior!

I am so thankful for Jesus, my Redeemer, who has given me the knowledge and ability to run this online business!
