I still remember the first time I started blogging. To be honest I never thought one could make a single cent out of blogging on a site. I must admit that I’ve come across Upwork and other freelancing sites even before I got to know about blogging. My first time experience with blogging was a hilarious one.
At that time I think I was in level 200, and a friend who was way ahead of me in class tried to introduce blogging to us. We thought he was trying to ridicule us cause we had never seen a site that rewards people in crypto just for blogging and engaging.
I was doing pi at that time but because I had no idea about Ponzi schemes I guess it was a lot harder to believe this one. You know how people are sceptical when it comes to investing their monies into something and hoping that they can earn. I got to believe in it when a friend of mine who was introduced by our friend cashed out some money from the site.

Then I believed it. I wanted to join instantly and make some cool cash. At that time I was struggling a lot with my laptop cause it had fallen and needed to be fixed. I was delaying fixing it but as soon as I got confirmation that the blogging site was real I didn’t hesitate to take the laptop for repairs. If I can remember correctly repair used three days to repair it and then I took it. The money I had with me was not meant for repairs but then I had to cause I had an interest in it.
So I came back to one of my friends and asked him to guide me in the registration. After I registered it was left with the introduction post. an intro post which took me a lot of time to write. I had a friend's intro post to look at but since I was not a blogger it took a lot for me to write it. It was not the best but I think I captured the important things in it.
That was when my blogging journey started. Getting topics to write about in the beginning was the hardest thing for me. I was so careful in choosing my topics cause I didn’t have a lot of great ideas. It took time but now I think topics come to me easily. That’s why I never understand when someone I sign up is complaining about topics, we’ve all been there before and it was not easy.

I ask them to relax and write about whatever comes into their head. In the end, we can find a great community for them to post in. Some can stay and blog whiles others are not able to. I guess it’s not easy to blog after all.
Apart from writing freely blogging has been of great help to me.
I remember how writing projects now look like child’s play to me. I can spring up one or two words and then I will have the required number of words in less than a day. Projects and ideas that are supposed to take me countless hours of thinking are now a few minutes from my fingertips. I think for people who blog writing has become a lot easier for them, the moment they have the idea or topic.
That’s the power of being a blogger, it’s a beautiful feeling.
