I am sure one day it will go about 30,000 uniques. I will promote it real hard AFTER I complete my education. Now I am just blogging to pass time in the holidays.

Are you Blogging for money?
Dear Reader,
There are people who blog just for money, is this justified blogging, are they doing justice to the blogging world? There are the naturally talented who can give his/her opinion in the most beautiful way even if its only for the money, but can we expect the entire world to be like that? Is it possible for every one to write good articles or blogs by only focusing on money? These people are usually a shame to all of us, as many newbies think that blogging is only about making money.
Who doesn’t want money? I do and so does every other individual reading this blog, including you. But if you focus on the topic on which you are writing about more and less about the benifits, that is the time when the real achievement occurs and along with it comes the added benefits.
Blogging should not be considered a money making medium, money can be made by making websites or selling stuff. Blogging is on a much higher platform, it is the essence of the new age communication. Its what allows a person to communicate with the world and if that essence is lost, then these is no essence to blogging left.
This days most of them who are blogging, do it for money. If you are one of them, stop blogging for money, blog about what you love and money will come to you. This is what I have realized and so should you. Only we can keep the beautiful world of blogging alive. We should spread this word to everyone, especially to the big corporations who are trying to take this platform away. Once, I was one of that big corporation. I used to hire people to write and make my website bigger and famous. I was being a part of cruel monetization practise. Make a website if you are aiming only at money. Make a blog if you want to say something. It does not really matter if someone reads your blog or not, someday, someone will notice your blog and it will definetly grow, you just have to follow the basics of beauty and that is to express what you want to tell freely.
The major difference between the people in the developed, healthier nations and the people in poor and undeveloped nations is that the first group of people have the skill of communication and know how to express themselves.
You might have noticed the major difference between a beggar and a rich man. The beggar aims at getting money by begging but the rich man focuses on developing his services, so that people buy them. What are you, a beggar or a rich man? A rich blogger focuses on how he/she can make the blog better, how he can write more engaging topics, the beggar blogger aims only at the dollars which he will get using advertising programs like adsense. Usually smaller bloggers who never make in in the business are only considered about making money with adsense and not about their content. If you are one of them, leave ideas like making money with adsense to investors and advertisors, you just focus on writing better things for your readers, be a rich blogger that way. Provide rich content.
When you aim at making your ncihe/blog better, money comes by itself. When you foucs less on the money and more on the content, your brain will think more about the content itself and that will allow you to write real good articles. What I just shared is not a secret but something that no one really applies to their lives.
I hope you liked what I wrote, if you disagree with me, please mention why in the comment. If what I said has hurt you, I am really sorry.
Enjoy.
