It's All About Me

A few months ago, I was watching Oprah (something I do secretly when nobody is around), hehe! There was a segment about a lady who introduced herself as a Professional Blogger . I became very excited as I watched, thinking, I'd LOVE to do that. I perused the said lady's website and became even more excited when I realised...I can do this!

I spent the next several months researching professional blogging and implementing the things I learned as I went along. The key points I learned were in regard to ad placement, blog content and traffic. All my hard work has earned me a whopping $2.04 to date. To say I'm a little frustrated, is an UNDERSTATEMENT! To cap it all off, I'm not really enjoying my blog experience as much as I used to. I've been so busy contributing to other sites and trying to generate more traffic that I don't have time to write about me...the reason I began blogging in the first place.

When I first began blogging, I didn't feel like anyone was listening to me in my 'real' life. I started to write to find my voice and be heard. Since I've been with Whitesnake, I don't do that so much because I talk to him and he LISTENS!  I've enjoyed learning about keywords, blog traffic and ad placement but at the end of the day, that's not why I started blogging. As my blog header says, my blog is about love and life through the eyes of a Krazy Blonde. That's what I want to get back to and if I earn some money along the way...that's a bonus.

Yesterday, I was thinking..I've lost track of what my blog is about...ME! I've lost many of my loyal readers because I've been neglecting them and I haven't a clue how to get back to writing the way I want to. I logged onto my dear friend DL's blog and there was the answer...30 days of me. I think it's the perfect way to return to writing about my favourite topic, hehe!

My goal is to write about love and life through my eyes, starting with the 30 days about me challenge. I'm planning to post once a day but only if I FEEL LIKE IT - imagine that, or more frequently, if I feel inclined and not because I put pressure on myself to do so but because I want to.

Here's the 30 day challenge...feel free to join in if you wish.

  5. So glad I came back, KB. This sounds interesting for blogging and creating an interest in blogging. Mostly I'm with my own website now. But this type of blog won't work on it as it is Gimme a Dream vacation, lol. I'm trying to turn it into a paying site.
