This question recently came to mind as I was browsing through fellow bloggers in the blogosphere.
As a blogger:
If you had the choice, would you go back and do it again?
All the learning, writing, advertising, spending, frustrations, mess ups, and hard work. All the time you spent trying to SEO your blog, or thinking of new writing topics, or reading about another blog’s success, or figuring out how to get that stupid plugin working.
Would you want to do it again?
Is the publicity, money, and glory all worth it to you?
Ask yourself this, think about it, and tell me what your answer is!
Too early for me to answer probably. I would say that in one sense at least, I’m happy with the way things are now. It seems that when I started to write good posts I also started to get good visitors so in that sense, I guess it all worked out.
In the sense that I think YOU’RE talking about, I would do it all over again. So far it’s been really fun, I’ve put in a lot of good work into it, and even though I’ve made zippy dollars, I’ve met a lot of fun people and that counts for a lot. For me, it’s been worth it. (#):)
Heck yah I’d do it all over! And probably will do it all over again, many times. I love starting up new blogs, designing the theme, working on SEO, getting backlinks. There’s just something really satisfying about checking your your Technorati ranking or number of feed subscribers every day to see if they’ve increased!
Good blog, keep up the good work.
It’s an addiction isn’t it? Haha!
I’m still doing it for the first time! I think if I could do it again I would for sure. Blogging is addictive and fun and hey it can even earn you a little money. There’s always something new to learn and I’m glad I got into it.
I know that I have learned a TON from getting into blogging. Before blogging, I had no idea how to work a self hosted wordpress (I thought it was scary) or what SEO meant, or even who John Chow was.
Ya I haven’t really gotten started that much but I like it so far and would still do it if i had the choice.
Give it another month. See if you still like it then! Hehe.
I would certainly do it again, I’ve met many interesting people along the way of the few blogs I’ve made, gained a lot of knowledge not only from writing on my blog but reading others and its a great way to blow time and make a few extra bucks =)
I am still new blogger. I must learn, learn and more learn about blog, SEO, and anything. So, I write about my opinion, my personal, and blogwalking, read another blog’s. I hope I can success
Very time consuming isn’t it? Haha.
