The 100th post for my blog! :)

It was some time in August,2006 when I decided to give away my diary-writing habit as it was becoming too much of a job to keep all your previous diaries with you. You dont want to just throw them away and carrying them with you to hostel and then home for vacations and then again back to hostel was not something I relished doing. And, you can't just leave your old diaries at home because you write some very very personal things in them and you don't necessarily want your family and friends to go through all of them.

Then the idea of blogging came into my mind and I searched for some FREE blogging sites on google and that's how I landed up on blogspot/blogger.Google wasn't biased in their search then because that was the time when google had not bought it.This is my little story behind getting started with blogging. Now one might ask when you don't want your family and friends to know about the personal things, how can you even think of writing them on the web for everyone to read? The answer to this would be a smart one.. I have two blogs, one is for public viewing and the other is not, which serves me as my private diary :)

In these two and a half years of blogging, I've ranted about how things were not going well for me, or the opposite. Sometimes I've picked up the crazies of topics just to write for the sake of updating my blog and a few posts have been sponsored as well..

An year after I started blogging, I got my own laptop( August, 2007) and that's when I started to explore new things and updating my blog more frequently. In April, 2008 I came to know about a few easy ways to make money by blogging.If you're a part time blogger you won't earn enough to support a living or something but then you can get enough to support your small needs here and there.My interest in blogging kept on fading at times, due to lack of opportunities to write sponsored posts and make money and even otherwise. But, all in all, it has been a good experience and I hope I stick to updating my posts more often this time round. Ironically, I've made around $100 by now through my blog and that was with the minimal of efforts. So,now I plan to inflate that amount and turn it into something substantial.

If you're a new reader and you want to earn something for doing what you love, i.e. blogging, I would suggest you to go through the Payperpost ads that are there on the left hand column of my blog. It's really an easy way to make a few bucks and though there are limited opportunities there, you will at least get $20 for sign up, which is absolutely free.

I never thing deep before writing my posts and I don't have the vocabulary to use complicated words. On the contrary, I write spontaneously and I'm sure whoever takes the time to read it will find it easy to understand. There have been a few readers who keep coming back time and again and thanks a lot to you people, especially Carra, who takes time to go through my posts and I can't forget that it's through blogger only that we've become friends just by exchanging comments and mails. There have been a few other visitors, who just come and go but I don't blame them for it, as it was me who is regularly irregular here.

All in all, it feels good to be able to complete a century of posts :)

  1. Dear Jayant, congratulations on your 100th post, that is definitely an achievement! Also thank you for mentioning me, that is truly kind. If one can earn a little bit from blogging that is good enough, after all, it's a job and one can earn a great deal if they focus on it, I for certain could not focus on it..
