I started blogging when my husband was reassigned in South Korea in 2008. A friend of mine told me that I could earn money from home and she showed me step by step on how to create and start a blog. I was hesitant at first because I wasn't sure if I could do it or if I could write articles that would interest others but I love trying new things so I gave it a try and I am so glad that I did!
Earning from blog isn't easy, you have to learn how to get your articles crawl on the web. You have to learn the search engine optimization and all other aspects that affect the traffic of your blog. The higher the traffic to your blog is, the better because most advertisers will offer you online gigs. You can also sell your blog with high ranking for a good price.
On the other note, did you watch the State of the Nation Address of the president?We did not watch it as my husband is tired of what is going on with the healthcare and all. At the company where my husband works now, he opted out for the healthcare because we have our own that we previously have when my husband was still in the service. For opting out of their health care, my husband receives a portion of it every pay. But this year, that said health benefits has decreased because the company has to pay more for the Affordable Care Act. ObamaCare does not help but instead affects us in a negative way.

Within 5 years, people who are receiving welfare/food stamps climb up from 9% to 20% within ten years. You can tell in the graph below that from 2004 to 2008 it only increased 2% but after that, the increase is enormous.
Sometimes, I'd like to think that the system is so unfair. Don't you think? One good example is during TAX season. Those people who pay more tax get back a little but those who did not pay much, get a bigger amount of income tax return. Now tell me, is that fair?
Yes, I know those learning days in blogging :)
ReplyDeletei just wish we could all do away with taxes, especially her in the PH, when most funds go to some corrupt officials's pockets! i remember those times when i used to work for a call center + would pay a lot for tax! such a bummer! :(
ReplyDeletespeaking of income tax return, we also have the same dilemma here in our country :(
ReplyDeleteNo!!! It is NOT fair! My husband is self employed and I hate seeing him having to work so hard (we do not get vacation pay and he works 7 days a week trying to do it all) to pay for those that don't even care about looking for a job. Thanks for speaking up-hard to do, I know...
ReplyDeleteSounds like some difficult situations for families...especially those who try to generate their own income from self-employment. Somehow, the battler always seems to lose.
ReplyDelete(I think my comment disappeared. Sorry if this is a repeat.)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a sad situation. Somehow the battler always seems to lose.
It is one HUGE mess. We are retired and have our insurance through the state of VA but won’t be surprised if it goes up. It is one big corrupt mess that will not get fixed in my lifetime. I have quit listening to the news it is so upsetting.
ReplyDeleteTruly - not fair at all. I wish this post would get their attention so they can do something about it
ReplyDeleteI really am not familiar with blogging. I started blogging to cure the boredom from being stuck at home. Though now I make a little money from blogging and it is awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteI hate to talk about it, but yes it is unfair. I can just hear my husband steaming about so enough said. LOL! Anyway, I too started blogging when I learned from friends that you can actually earn money. Although I didn't really earn much or still aren't earning much, but at least I still love what I do. Even though I started blogging since 2008 as well, still not an expert when it comes to a lot of things pertaining blogging.
ReplyDeleteThat is why no matter how hard people work for living, many of us are still struggling because of Tax..
ReplyDeletei started blogging in year 2009, I enjoyed earning while learning:) Oh, that is a sad situation..i've read about it
ReplyDeleteNot fair at all! They're just trying to make those people to become lazier.
ReplyDeletethere are things in life that are so unfair,
ReplyDeleteI really don't know what's going on in Obamacare but I hope everyone gets treated fairly
ReplyDeleteFrom 2008 to present, is actually also relatively long. Blogging is possible to make money however you really like and have the ability to write and share. all you have to do with what I can.
