I am so lost this past few days on how to balance everything
from day job to blogging. I don’t have the confident or time anymore to shoot
photos, to create content or to write amazing stories for you guyz. I am
hopeless!! As Mr. Gibbs said in the movie Pirates of Caribbean: The Dead Man’s
Chest “Abandon Ship or Abandon Hope”
One of my friends told me that he love to do Photography and
also wanted to start blogging but he don’t have any idea what would be his blog
about, another friend recommended him with high hopes that our “inspiring
future blogger friend” can talk about his passion for Photography and earn a
lot of Money because of blogging. My ear became so wide open when I heard
“money”. And I said to myself“whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttt?” IF YOU JUST WANT TO EARN MONEY FOR BLOGGING THEN STOP! So here are
my top 5 reasons why you need to stop thinking about starting a blog or vlog.
1. To earn Money
80% in all famous influencers to beginners
in Blog or Youtube don’t have earnings right away. When you start blogging or
making videos in Youtube it doesn’t mean you earn the next day or when you wake
up. You need hard work and effort to get what you want, sometimes it takes 5
years or if you are lucky enough 3 years. So if you are thinking Money..money
money…! Then stop!
2. To be famous
It’s the same reason with money! Nothing
comes so easy my friend! I’ve known a lot of bloggers in the world like the
Australian famous blogger, Zanita. She grew up in a province and started
blogging just to share her opinions and ideas about fashion and then because of
her passion with fashion and blogging, years of writing she became famous.
Well, it’s kinda different when you came from a family of famous actors and
actresses so no need for blog or make a Youtube career since you already have
fan.
3. Free gifts and event invites
It’s true that when you are a blogger or
vlogger there’s so called “MAIL TIME”. And it’s a free give away or sponsored
gifts from brands that they want you to try it and in exchange is to promote
their brand. How easy right? But let me tell you something guyz! This kind of
gifts require numbers, when I say numbers, your followers. So! If you are
planning to start a blog or vlog to get freebies, start building your empire
first so that brand will notice you. It’s so overwhelming to dream that once
you start blogging Gucci or Dolce will send you an invitations to their
prestigious events. STOP RIGHT THERE! WHO ARE YOU BY THE WAY? Sounds so harsh!
But really who are you? Again build an empire first so that they will notice
you.
4. Free Travels
There’s a lot of influencers right now that
you see in their personal blogs or mostly in Youtube that they are always
travelling. What a lovely life! I wish I have their life. But did you know that
those influencers when they are just starting they pay their own travels until
they have a lot of followers and people start noticing them, brands approaches
them to travel and promote their brand. Sound easy? But no! Again years of hard
work to get the free TRAVELS!.
5. To mingle and make friends with social people
and party with them
Being with people who are so famous has
different impact of emotions to us, it makes us feel so important and famous.
And they party a lot, meet new friends and mingle with all the events,
“Socials” –sosyal! . But honestly
speaking you are just being too much on yourself. Blogging or Vlogging does not
work like that. You need to make your own name and be known so you will be
consider to be a part of those influential people. Or if you want to just
mingle and be their friends? No need to start blog, just introduce your name
and be yourself.
Starting a blog or Vlog in Youtube is not that easy
peasy! It consist of efforts, passion and consistency to get what you wanted.
But if you just want the result easily then stop considering to start blog
because it doesn’t work like that. Patience is one main rule of Blogging and
Vlogging, if you don’t have the virtue of being Patient then it’s not for you
loves. Hope you like my Blogging tips and ideas, let me know your thoughts about
