The Struggling Blogger

It frustrates me so much that I have to disable comments on some of my posts here as well as in my other blogs. Why? Because those stupid bots keeps on putting links and other unnecessary comments on them. With almost all blogs comments today being moderated, do they really believe that they would get published?

I really wish I could learn how to operate those spam blockers, so that I wouldn’t have to manually tag these bot comments as scam… err, spam. I just don’t understand why do they have to be such a nuisance! And they are so persistent! They surely know how to irritate a blogger.

Basically we want to belong in a community, even the most introvert amongst us would like to have someone whom we can talk to. That’s why we join clubs, communities, forums, classes and what-have-you’s. Because no man is an island. We definitely need companies, admit it or not, we need others too. Yes, even the most self-reliant person, needs someone beside him.

Yet again, this blog has been disapproved as an affiliate by one of those who paid bloggers for blogging about their advertisers. Too much struggles… being true to its name. Oh well, I can always try again… and look somewhere else.

Here goes:

REFLECTIONS
poems… essays… emotions… reflections

My very first blog. Used to be that I will post everything here… my pains, my views, feelings, news, poems… everything! Until I realized that everything shouldn’t be here. Which began the creation of a series of other blogs. To contain other items that should not be here. This blog is personal.

Since I have already announced my intentions and shifted to high gear, I now feel more pressure as a blogger. Although this is just self-imposed, I know I have to meet some expectations… and I still have a looooong way to go. I still have a lot to learn. From a $0.00 earner… I need to climb to $1.00, and then to $10.00 and then to $100.00… up to $1,000.00 and then… ooops! Sorry, I got carried away. But like I said, it is still a long shot for me. Honestly, I don’t even know where to start!

Fortunately, blogging resources are not scarce in the internet. Because bloggers who earn money from blogging, blog about earning money from blogging. Thanks to a newly found blogging acquaintance who referred me to a great site for newbie bloggers like me.
