- When did you start blogging in earnest? Which blog platform did you use 1st?
- Started blogging around Jun of 2007. Used blogspot’s service. When I got my hosting and my domain, I immediately started using wordpress.org
- Why do you blog? What/who gave you that 1st push?
- I wanted online presence, for people to know about my life and ofcourse to make money Well, I wrote a blog to impress girls with my computer skills…
(yes its true) - Tell us about this featured blog. Purpose? Target audience?
- The purpose honestly is to make money. Yes,, I’m being very honest here.
Well, my primary audience are for nursing students and its purpose is to tell the world how hard life as one is. - How many other blogs do you own?
- At the moment this is the only blog I am actively maintaining.. But is also planning on nurseako.com
- What “offline” activities do you do to promote your blog(s)?
- Word of mouth primarily and maybe through text messages to my friends.. That’s about it
- What/who inspires you to keep on blogging? How come?
- Boredom does. I actually want to be a web designer, but since I’m in the field of nursing, I try to mix both. NIfty aint it? I blog because I need a place to voice out feelings and expose the health care situation in the Philippines (in the near future)
- Do you currently monetize your blog(s)? How?
- Yes I do. Actually I just downloaded a new theme for my blog. I haven’t even done the banner yet.. I put lots of ads, place em on spaces that might entice people to click and try mixing them with the content. I’m experimenting with ad colors at the moment though.
- How much money do you usually spend for your blog(s) per month?
- My hosting costs $5/month at asmallorange.com, not really that expensive if you ask me.. also the $10 domain/year.. thats about it
- List other blogs that you read on a regular basis.
- www.waukster.com
