What I Learned From Blog and Blogging

From my blogging – I learned how to show respect and love to my host country: Saudi Arabia. I learned how to differentiate job and business and other opportunities. I learned that writing is a medium to tell the world what I know and what I love. I learned how to care my personal health and how to manage them.

From the time I started sharing my blog articles, there were about 17 articles I had written about Saudi Arabia that includes my personal experiences in the Kingdom. I learned that immigrants will live with peace in mind and without fear through appreciation and understandings with their cultures and abiding the laws regulated in the Kingdom are the most important things to consider aside from its beautiful history.

To write them was really a big challenge. I had interviewed some Saudis and other immigrants for information. I had used encyclopedias for more information about the country, its people, its culture, tradition and about the law regulated in the Kingdom. So far, I had written 9 articles about business and other business opportunities.

From those articles I learned that job is only temporary. When an employee became incapacitated, he loses his job. His job cannot be transferred to his loved ones. There’s no financial freedom in job. He has no freedom to enjoy and has a very limited growth. I even said that there is nothing wrong to learn other things – even though a person is on his job when he can use it someday or after he retired from his job.

To Get Thousands Views a Day Use Your Blog Sites

Image via Wikipedia

Blog sites help attract crawlers and visitors to view your articles published at other publishing sites. By sharing them to your blog sites will help boost traffics and views to your article pages as well to the websites that published them. This method is common but you can change your approach in a different way which is legal and no spamming.

Remember that we, writers are also considered as businessmen. Our products are in the form of articles, photos and videos and other awesome stuff that we always love to share to other net surfers across the Internet. Normally we always give enough time to create them before we can offer them to some paying sites. And when they are accepted for publication, our next move is not only to sit down but to promote them. We applied different methods to bring them out and reach people across the net.

The usual methods that we applied for promotion are usually by sending them out through the following media tools such as:

• Through YouTube
• Through Social Networks
• Through Other Book Marking Sites
• Through The basic way – by sending them through Emails
• Through Forum Groups and other Internet Groups
• Through by Sending them out to different search engines
• Through by Sending them to our families, relatives and friends
• While Others applied Google Ad words to advertise the products

Believe it or not, to promote our products are also as hard and difficult as when we created them. It also takes times to determine what method we will use. Last December 26, 2011, it took me almost a day to layout my plan. Yes. I applied the common way – to share them out to my blog sites. First, I done the inventory of all my published articles at Wikinut – there are about two hundred of them. And then I applied re-grouping the articles by category. And then I wrote an article about them where all the two hundred articles were included – a summary of article titles at which I inserted each valid URL links of the articles published at Wikinut. Then I posted the article to all my blog sites.

Here are the following blog sites I am maintaining everyday to promote my articles:

• CoolThings
• Hit Daxen
• Just Obey Boss
• Ang Manlilikha
• My Article Photo Blog
• My Star Articles
• The Creator
• WellCome
• Health is Wealth
• Proud Pinoy

Now I can say blog sites are part of media tools that help promote our articles and reach hundreds and thousands of people across the Internet. The 3,483 views that my Wikinut pages received on December 27, 2011 are proof!

Blog Helps Develop Your Skills

Blog is defines as a Web site containing the writer's or group of writers' own experiences, observations, opinions, etc., and often having images and links to other Web sites. And from Blogging we can acquire new knowledge or skill. Before you can write and publish your first blog article from the idea that is knocking in your head - you need to look around for information to support your idea whatever it is.

I still remember I started my blogging hobby five years ago at Word Press. My blog was intended only for limited audience. Mostly of my published blog articles there were based from my personal experiences. However, after those two long years on blogging, I focused on writing blog articles intended to general audience. From that time on blogging had become my favorite hobby.

In one day, I could write and published at least one to two blog articles to share to people across the Internet. Also I started to look around for ideas. I started to love scanning the pages of English dictionaries and Encyclopedias, newspapers, tabloids, magazines and other reading materials for information and to help correct my English grammar because English was not my language. My mother tongue is Filipino Tag-alog.

Now I can say that Blog is really a place where to acquire new knowledge and skills. When you start your blogging hobby first you have to create a blog by following some simple steps. At least there are eight steps I considered the easiest way to create a blog. I will share them here on my next article.

Blog helps you enhance and develop your talents. You created a place to cater your awesome ideas and other stuff to share to the world.

Dynamic Views Template Increases Page Views and Page Earnings

According to blogger – Dynamic Views is the newest designed template intended for all blogger users. It is found with the older templates in every dashboard under the Template Designer section. If you decided to apply Dynamic Views, you have to click on the Template tab. In the Template Designer, select a default view for your blog from one of the seven available views. Setting a default view will establish the type of Dynamic View your blog will display when a reader visits it. For more details about Dynamic Views check out the link: Google Support Blogger.

If you are blogger users – you can now configure your blogs to display Dynamic Views and select a default view that best displays the type of posts on your blogs. Dynamic Views make it easier to read your favorite blogs. They make it easy to discover posts written long ago that you and your visitors may not have read.

Blogger assured that if you have customized your blog and wish to experiment with Dynamic Views, you can rest assured that your gadgets and other custom settings used before are preserved and will be restored if you switch back to a traditional template. And if you would like to revert to your previous template with all the layout customizations intact, just click revert to previous template.

However, Dynamic Views will work only on your blog if the following are true:

• Your blog is public.
• Your readers do not need to sign in to view your blog.
• Your blog has feeds fully enabled.

Blogger also assured that Dynamic Views will continue to support any AdSense ads that you have hosted on your blog. Blogger has optimized all the seven views for the leaderboard (header) and skyscraper (sidebar) style ads. But you are also advice to use the latest software technology, blogger requires you to use the latest version of the most popular browsers, such as Internet Explorer 8+, Firefox 3.5+, Chrome or Safari.
The seven Dynamic Views that your visitors will enjoy on your blog are as follows:

• Classic View: A modern twist on a traditional template
• Flipcard View: Photos tiled across the page
• Magazine View: A clean, elegant editorial style layout
• Mosaic View: A mosaic mix of different sized images and text
• Sidebar View: An email inbox-like view with a reading page for quick scrolling and browsing
• Snapshot View: An interactive pinboard of your posts
• Timeslide View: A horizontal view of your posts by time period

What benefits you will get from the latest template application? According to Blogger – if you enable Dynamic Views for your blog, you will notice an increase in pageviews. The reason for this is that Dynamic Views provides more specific information about actions on your blog. Specifically, every click to a post is recorded as a pageview. If a reader clicks on 10 posts, you’ll see those clicks recorded as 10 pageviews. In a traditional Blogger template, if a reader enters your blog once, they can scroll through ten blog posts in a single pageview. So while it may appear that traffic to your blog has increased, it’s more likely that Blogger is simply recording more accurate data about your blog than was possible in the past.

Two weeks ago, I applied this application to one of my blogs health + Wealth = Happiness from Classic View to Timeslide View. My blog daily views increased as well as my blog earnings.

How to Turn Your Blog Into Audio

Image via CrunchBase

In some surveys, it is said that some visitors do not like to read articles published on blog sites instead, they like to listen them through MP3 or an Audio. Not long ago, I found the site that will help bloggers to turn their blogs into Audio. And this is free to sign up.

Before signing up, a blogger will see to it that all articles he published on his blog site are written in English language and he should confirm that he is the legal owner of the blog site. After that he can now proceed to register by telling Odiogo a bit about himself and his blog site by filling out the form with his approval that he is allowing the site to convert his blog site contents to MP3 or to Audio and then submit.

There are only two requirements needed to register with the site – they are:

• The URL of his blog site
• His email address

Then next, he has to wait at least one minute and he will receive a reply with instructions that he can now add the Odiogo Widget to his blog site. After he added the Odiogo Widget to his blog site – he can now start to play the audios of some of his articles published on his blog site like what I have done for My Star Articles blog site. Each article has its own Audio.

According to Odiogo history: The idea behind Odiogo came to Patrice its CTO when he was stuck in a New York underground and said to himself, “All this time wasted on the tube… If I only could use that time to read the hundred of news pages waiting for me on my PC…“. Odiogo makes Patrice’s wish come true. Odiogo’s mission is to provide innovative ways to distribute web content for consumption on the go, anytime, anywhere and on any device.
