What did you learn from blogging?

InternetHow Blog — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:05:22 +0000

This is my 100^th post today. I personally learned a lot from my blogging experience and still got loads to learn. Blogging help me to become more organized and more determent person. Every day, I have a list of things to do. Sometimes, I can’t execute the list completely as some tasks might take longer than I expected. However, when I execute it fully, I get this massive feeling of satisfaction. I started this time management with my blog. However, I also use it for my daily activities as well.

It is also helping me to improve my writing skills. I still might not win the Noble prize, but, I am brave enough to present my writing to people.

I would be really glad, if you could share in few sentences, what did you learn from blogging?

If you have the same dilemma, you should really read this post at tutorial9.com. It clearly states (and I strongly believe also), you don’t have to have the attributes of an excellent writer to create a blog and content that attracts visitors. However, to make your blog attractive to your current and potential readers you need to know what you are talking about, know your audience, know what needs to be said, know how to say it, and you need to show that you believe what you are saying.

The Massive Impact of tiny, little, small goals

InternetHow Blog — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:42:35 +0000

Blogging can be overwhelming as you don’t see the results of your hard work straight away. Especially, if you have a long term goal for a blog that has thousands of subscribers and generates good income. Only way you can keep the enthusiasm for blogging is by setting short term goals.

Do you have short term goals for your blog? We all kind have know what the long term goal of your blog. But by just concentrating on the long term goal, you will make your job more difficult and overwhelming. It would be a lot harder to be successful as you won’t see any results. So, you need to set short term goals that are realistic and much easier to achieve. Each time you achieve a short term goal, it will be mentally easier to tackle the next one.

For instance typical short term goals for a blog can be;

Earning your first dollar within a week time.

Having 50 RSS subscribers within a month time.

Have at least 25 comments left in your blog within 2 weeks time, etc.

If you don’t set your short term goals, you won’t realise what you achieved so far. If you can’t see your achievements, then it will be a frustrating journey towards your long term goal. Having your short term goals set, will also help a lot on your productivity.

So, you need to be aware of your small achievements rather than letting them pass without any recognition by you. You need to reward yourself and analyse how you managed to accomplish that small goal. Always remember, each time you reach your small goal, you are one step closer to your long term goal.

Think of the long term goals as your roof and the short term goals are the pillars that support the roof. Without those pillars, we would surely get crushed under the weight of heavy roof.

Top Commentator Competition: Winners are …

InternetHow Blog — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:57:08 +0000

I would like to thank everyone, who commented in my blog. This competition has been awesome so far. Not only received lots of comments also met some really cool people.

It is really nice to see people reacting to the posts that I created. It doesn’t matter if they agreed or not, the most important thing is people shared and added their own thoughts into it as well. This is one of the most important fundamentals for a blog to get better. Therefore I will do my best to reward those who are helping me to make this blog better.

Any way, it is time to announce the winner of this week’s top commentator competition, or should say winners. Amazingly we have 2 winners this week and 5 runners-up. So I will provide two free advertisement spaces, instead of one.

So the joint top commentators for this week are:

My Theory and Table Tennis Conversion Top

Runners up for this week are:

Ben Lang

Ryan

Dana @ Online Knowledge

Dennis Edell

Muhammad Qasim

Congratulations to all of you.

I want to remind you all that top commentator competition is on for next week as well. I will set the top commentator widget to zero, so everyone has equal chance to win next week’s 125×125 free advertisement space.

Good Luck.

What an adult can learn from children’s TV programs?

InternetHow Blog — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:33:20 +0000

Lately I am watching a lot of children programs on TV, as I babysit my baby son quite often. That also gives me chance to watch some TV with him. Mostly children programs though. Still, you would be amazed the things they try to teach to little kids. They don’t just teach colors, numbers, and shapes. And also they are not all about healthy eating and regular exercise messages. They teach kids, how to become better in life and how to improve their personality.

I really believe there are great messages on children’s TV, even for adults. So, what can you learn from cartoons and educational programs;

There are things you will be good at and things you won’t

We all want to be good at everything we try. However, there will be a lot of things we won’t be able to do. At the same time there are a lot of other things we can be very good at. Only we need to discover those abilities. We must never give up trying to find out our true abilities.

Failing is not the end of the world

When you are not good at something, don’t let that get into you. Try again and again. Ask people’s help to improve and learn. By failing you can discover your true abilities. You might not be good at jumping high, but you might be good at jumping longer. Failing is part of the process on the way to success.

Team work helps you achieve faster

These programs always point out the team work, by showing kids how to do things together as a team. This is really important, because we can’t do everything ourselves. Sometimes it is better to combine our skills and tackle the problems together. People with different skills and different attributes usually produce much creative solutions.

Being Destructive will only destroy you

You can’t progress in life, if you keep destroying others’ thoughts and works. You should offer your help and try to assist people to the right direction without disrespecting their values. By being distractive, no one cares what you thing and no one cares about what you do.

Share your problems

As well as this can cause big problems for children, it can also play a distractive role in adults’ life. The things that bother you can grove into bigger problems, if you don’t share it with people. It is always good to let people know, what the problem is and how it affects you. It is good to talk.

Practice makes you better

Whatever you are attempting to do for the first time, you can only be better if you keep practicing your skills. If you don’t, your abilities will remain same as you started and they won’t improve. A lot of practice can make you better.

Things doesn’t go according to plan all the time

Unfortunately, we can’t predict everything. Therefore, we need to be strong and don’t lose our patience to accomplish our goals. Things can and will go wrong. We have the ability to make it right. A good plan is always the one that has alternatives.

Trying to learn is better than not knowing at all

Actually, children are very brave to ask whatever in their mind. It is usually adults who feel embarrassed to ask questions about the things they have lack of knowledge. If it costs one question to learn, then it is well worth to ask that question.

We can learn and improve ourselves regardless to our age. We should never under estimate the source of good knowledge. And we should not hesitate to put these knowledge into practice.

I hope I convinced you to wake up at 6:30 AM every morning to watch these programs :)

Questions and Answers: Getting Visitors From Twitter

InternetHow Blog — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:15:57 +0000

The importance of a community is, to help each other and try to find solutions to the problems we face. So, I decided to dedicate Mondays to questions and answers. I would like to credit Daily Blog Tips as I first saw this idea over there.

All you need to do is to tweet your question to @internethow or ask them by commenting. Then I will choose one question and post it here. You can also participate by answering those questions by commenting.

However, I can only post one question per week, so please keep that in mind. However, I will do my best to reply your tweets.

So let start with the first question that is asked by zeesu:

“How are you able to use twitter to find more readers?”

I personally try to engage with my followers as much as I can. Try to reply them directly (@username) by commenting about their most recent blog post. However, I make sure not to send them any link, as my only purpose to contact them directly is because I have something to say about their blog post, not to advertise mine.

So, what do you do to get visitors from twitter?

Week In A Post: PR Update, Competition, and More

InternetHow Blog — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 13:40:14 +0000

There was couple of things I was looking forward this week. First one was Google PR update, second; effects of the top commentator competition. Unfortunately I was disappointed with the PR update as I didn’t receive any for my blog. However, effects of top commentator competition have been great. I’ve received more comments then before. In regards to PR, although I am disappointed, it encouraged me to do more promotion and link building activities.

The traffic and RSS subscribers both doubled compare to last week. This was mainly because a lot of commenting and a lot of interaction with twitter users. Yes, I start seeing the benefits of twitter more, after interacting more with my followers.

The main high light for this week was my first competition, which offers free advertisement to top commentator of the week. By the way it is still on and finishes next Wednesday at 8 pm GMT. You can enter this competition by commenting on any posts.

There were total of 4 new blog posts this week. If you haven’t read them, here are the links:

Why you should not avoid failure?

InternetHow Blog — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 13:08:33 +0000

Failure is something we can’t really run away from. So, if we can’t avoid it, we should not even try to avoid it. Because trying to avoid failure is like turning your back to real issues that keeps causing problems. So, instead of running away, we should learn how to be braver towards failure.

Trying to avoid failure would be the biggest mistake you would ever do

Failure happens, when we try to do something for a purpose and get a result that is opposite to our expectations. When we get that unexpected result, we try it again and again until we get it right. If we try to avoid failure, we don’t get the motivation to try again. Basically, we avoid trying new things, we avoid making brave decisions, and we avoid working hard.

Failure is a teacher that teaches more valuable lessons

Only if you try to learn from it. You need to face failure with a brave face and ask yourself, why did I get this outcome? What actions brought me here? What can I do differently next time? Answering these questions honestly, will bring you the results that you wanted.

Success = Failure + Determination + Action

If you break down the journey towards success, you will see that there a lot of failures on that trip. However, determination prevents us from giving up and forces us to carry on taking actions. Barack Obama said it well;

“Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it’s not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won’t. it’s whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere”.

Thank god my baby son loves failure

If you want to learn determination, you can learn a lot from babies. They don’t care if the coffee cup is hot or not. They go for it. They don’t care what is in the draws; they try their hardest to explore what is inside. They don’t care if it hurts their knees or not, they are determent to crawl to the things they want. They don’t care if they would fall again, they are determined enough to walk.

Failure is an option

Of course none of us choose to fail deliberately. We can choose to be determent and try to rise above failure. We should expect that failures will happen. In these situations, you need to remember the following quotation; “Winners never quit, quitters never win”. Winners don’t avoid failure, they overcome failure.

Instead of avoiding failure, try to figure out the way. Analyze the actions you took, that resulted in failure. Try your hardest to find alternative ways, which will bring you success eventually.
