Finding a new “home” I can call my own May 12, 2010

After years of blogging (all) around (hosted by Yahoo 360, Friendster, Multiply, WordPress, Tumblr, and Facebook), I’m entertaining the idea of finally getting my own blog domain. Someone is convincing me to, presenting to me the benefits of owning one. I could earn from ads, he said; plus, I’ll be in full control of my site. Maybe, before this month ends, I can decide.
That could mean keeping all my other blog sites intact but inactive. Or, transferring contents to my new home. But I’d also like to start anew and find my own niche in the blogosphere. As it is, I’m only blogging to do mental therapy or as a personal, creative exercise. With a track to follow, I could specifically write about food, travel, places, events, people, family, arts, or about writing itself.
The possibilities make me excited.
Go just to experience it! I can’t tell that I’m successful though since when I tried blogging for money, all I had was a dollar something (that was not so worth it i know), haha…Kaso the disadvantage is, in order for you to earn, you have to promote the products of advertisers which would mean, not being entirely true and noble…I just dont know the other way. So finally I gave up. But it’s true, some guys are earning thousands of pesos just by blogging.
Thanks for the nuggets of advice, Pearl. I get excited. But I’m weighing the options and benefits, too. Maybe soon, I’ll just give in…
