I'm coming, Internet! Weeee!

I’ve been blogging since 2005. In the first 4 or so years, I’ve just been writing stuff to amuse myself and to document my life for some reason. I never really considered putting a lot of effort in it. I didn’t even consider making serious money out of it. Blogging was simply something I love doing and nothing more — until last year when I triumphantly quit my job and looked towards an awesome career in dicking around the Internet for the rest of my life.

The Plan

My plan was simple: experiment on available online options for generating income (blogging, freelance writing/designing, domaining, SEO) so I won’t have to go back to the corporate jungle. Of course I had to get a homebased job first to keep a steady flow of income as I dived into the black waters of the Internet. There were times when I felt I was going nowhere but I managed to keep myself patiently waiting for results.

Now, one year later, I have my results and I thought I should share some lessons I learned in my one year experiment in blogging and other online shenanigans. Keep in mind that I didn’t magically become rich and I’m not suddenly an expert in blogging, but if you spend an entire year tinkering with the wonders of the web, you’re bound to learn a thing or two. If you just started a blog or are considering entering the blogging fold, these morsels of information are for you. I’m going to dispense these lessons in 4 parts spanning 4 days. Today, let’s focus on content.

LIKE IT OR DIE

I think I just got my second wind in blogging. After months and months of forcing myself to write entries for the sake of keeping this blog alive, I may have found the energy to give blogging another go. With this newfound interest in churning out blog entries, I’ve decided to create a�Facebook page for this blog. You know, to give it a more legit feel. LIKE IT OR DIE. I’m kidding. Or am I?

Well, I’m not sure about you guys, but I love Sam Pinto and comic book violence. They are two of my favorite things in the world right next to beer, pizza and seeing people smash into glass doors. That’s why I’ve created a blog for each of them. First, let’s talk about the slightly creepy one.

SAMPINTO.CO

Before you give me a look of disgust, hear me out. Everybody Loves Sam Pinto is a just another fan site for the magnificent Sam Pinto. Of course, it’s a little different. You can even call it deranged. But I regret nothing. NOTHING! It’s not designed to offend or creep out Ms. Pinto, her fans or anyone who stumbles upon it. It’s just me having fun while displaying hints of my Sam Pinto obsession, that’s all.

Today, I celebrate the 3rd anniversary of my Tumblr blog. When I signed up for Tumblr in August 2007, I didn’t know what to do with my brand new Tumblr blog. For the first two years, I just used it to promote my blog entries from the blog you’re reading now, my defunct comics blog, my defunct Plurk themes blog and my defunct emo blog. I didn’t really use it to post stuff until April 2009.

STEVE HOLT!

It didn’t take long for me to start creating niche blogs for Dr. Doom, villains, lesbians and more. Of course, it also didn’t take long for me to shut them down and just do Tumblr blogging from one blog. The first few Tumblr blogs I followed were those of people from UPLB. It was Twitter on steroids and I loved it.
