    Dear friends,

    This is for those who have just started blogging or is interested in the idea of blogging:

    I often get this thought that "i should have started blogging earlier". I have been working on various flavors of the internet for more than 9 - 10 years and its just the last 3 years that i have started serious blogging. Now am at a stage that i have quit my job and am earning a good passive income and am loving this. Able to go anywhere, no leaves to be applied, no boss and the best part, i love what am doing!!

    If you are planning to start blogging, do it fast: its got great potential as a profession. You need to be dedicated and organized - blog on what you love, thats all!! Especially, youngsters - make it a part of your daily life and you will never regret.

    All the best to you guys!!
    Cheers, Joshu Thomas

    Hi Joshu,

    I geuss this post came in after sharing the PM's with me. Well it is quite a good lesson to learn for the youngsters/teenagers. Well Joshu and I share similar stories with the difference that he's quit his job already and I am trying to quit.

    All the best to people who're trying to jump into Blogging.

    Thanks.

    Dear Siddhartha,

    Firstly dont give alexa So much of importance, use your web host's stats system to track your progress. In addition, Google Analytics or GetClicky are good sources to find in-depth traffic analysis of your traffic. Also another heads up, alexa rank is determined by alexa site usage data sent from Alexa toolbar users. First thing to improve alexa rank is install alexa tool bar and encourage it. In addition, write few articles on alexa. You can find more to improve your alexa rank here

    Alexa rank anywhere above 100,000 is of no worth. The closer you get the sharper it gets. I repeat, concentrate on generating good quality unique content and traffic will follow. dont give all these ranks much importance, improve your pageviews and unique user count - that is what should matter.

    cheers
    Josh

    yea, true. Blogging is my hobby. I like it a lot. Sometimes I also think that I had to start blogging more earlier.

    It could be said as luck if people made their decisions earlier. But at that time we had preferences and might have missed out something else..but ideally it was good if we started earlier..

    I too wish I had started earlier but I had to get 'HERE' before I could appreciate the finer points of blogging. Now I am using a template to make the most of my efforts. It's funny how you make many well intentioned attempts at something only to learn that there is a better and easier, i.e. more profitable way to accomplish a given task. I cannot tell you how many times I have revised a business plan due to 'on the job' learning experience. So jump in and always put forth your best effort. "The only thing that is constant is change".

    Definitely. You can't really figure out what you like if you don't even try it.
    IM and blogging is getting big and it's definitely something people should try.

    Buddy, There is nothing wrong in revising your business plans, even i have done a thousand times. But the best part is you take 2 valuable stuff home even if the plan fails: Experience and Learning - These cannot be substituted or achieved in a day or two. Its hard earned.

    Cheers
    Josh
