Does A Good Education Help You To Become A Better Blogger?

1 comments - Post a comment

I want to start a discussion here and I hope it will get good response from all of you,my valuable readers.I read in Daily Blog Tips how Daniel discuss about this,but it is more open where it isn't just about blogging,but about getting it right and being successful on the Internet.Chris Garret did a survey among his readers recently,and one of the results is that 87% of almost 1,000 bloggers who participate have a university degree,but Chris himself left school at the age of 15.

My personal view is that it depends actually not on the education background that you have but more towards this 3 things.
  • Are you willing to work hard to achieve your target.Most bloggers have set a goal that they want to achieve when they started blogging.I have set a target of wanting to monetize my blog,maybe I wouldn't be able to achieve what Darren of Problogger have got,but still I think it is a realistic target to at least manage to monetize my blog so I can earn my living doing it.My work experience have taught me that education alone is not enough to be successful.You have to have a strong will to do what you do best,and be very good at it.It all depends on your willingness to be the best and put a lot of effort in trying to achieve it.
  • Do you have the resources to achieve it.There are a lot of resources available for everybody on the Internet to become successful.It is just a matter of getting the right resources and getting it done.There are free blogging platform to start your own blog.You can learn from a lot of blog about skill and trick in becoming a good blogger.You can earn money from your blog through a lot of making money resources available.
  • Are you willing to learn to achieve it.With the available resources,it is up to you whether you want to learn and apply it to become successful.I'm sure most of us can write and read,and most of the things are easy to learn,there are even videos to guide you about some of the things that you have to know about blogging and if you want to make money with it,or to be a good and successful blogger.
I once read a book by one Internet Marketer.He wrote,people always say that knowledge is power,but to him it is wrong.Applied Knowledge is Power..and I agree with him.Having knowledge but not doing anything with it means nothing,but learning about something and then applying that knowledge to be become successful,that is true power.It doesn't promise instant success or a guarantee of success,but it does increase your chances of becoming successful.

What do you think?

 

What I Need To Start A Blog.

Everybody..and I mean everybody can have their own blog,if you have access to a PC or laptop with Internet connection.These day everybody want to have a blog,especially when they know that somehow you can earn money just blogging.I don't mind if they have these on their mind when they start a blog because it is up to you for what reason you want to start a blog and what your blog is about.My concern is the lack of knowledge.Knowledge Is Power..but what kind of knowledge?You know what a blog is,you know it can earn you money..is that enough?Is that the only knowledge you have to help and guide you in your journey to earn money blogging?

I always like to look at blogging as an ongoing learning process,meaning you will learn more when you get involve,knowing other bloggers,looking at other blogs,reading other blogs,updating yourself with the latest news,but this doesn't mean you don't need some knowledge when you want to start.The most important reason people start a blog is because they want someone else to read it,they want lots of people to read it.That is why bloggers are concern about traffic,about their page rank,wanted to exchange links and so on.

I want to share some of the question that I came across in forums that I join,and you decide if knowledge is important to bloggers or not.
  • What is traffic?
  • How do I get targeted readers to my blog?
  • Why no one visit my blog?
  • I've been updating my blog regularly,but I still haven't got any Page Rank(PR),and by the way,I just started blogging last week.
  • Why my blog is not indexed by Google?
  • How do I get people to subscribe to my blog and can someone tell me how to do it.
  • What should I write in my blog?
  • How do I get a counter for my blog?
  • I want to start blogging,can someone suggest where I can get a free blog,I'm a bit tight on budget but really love to write.
  • What is the best topic to blog about?
  • What is AdSense?
  • What should I do to get my blog approved by AdSense?
  • I'm using blogger,please suggest which template is suitable for AdSense.
  • What other ads can I put on my blog other than AdSense?
OK..I agree..some of these question do sound funny,but remember,this are real question posted in forums,not one that I created.I'm not an expert,but I do my best to answer to all those question based on what I know,what I've read and what I've done personally,and some other forum members share what they know too.

I learn a lot by looking at other blogs.If I find an interesting buttons or widgets,I just put my cursor there,and look at the website URL down on the left hand corner of my PC,write it down and when I have time,I'll visit the site to know more about it.

Basic things you have to know.
  • What is blog?
  • Which blogging platform is popular and free.
  • Set a topic for your blog about things you know.
  • How to bring traffic to your blog.
There are actually lots of things that you have to know like search engine,SEO,blog directories,links,social media and many more.Prepare yourself with knowledge,and keep on adding this knowledge if you're serious about blogging.The most important knowledge is how to get traffic to your blog,and to achieve this,you have to know lots of things..and one other major thing you must have is..PATIENCE.
