My Writing Style and My Success in Blogging

Angel dropped a question at my post, “Even Poor Ones Can Blog Better Than Rich Bloggers” asking me if I am already successful in blogging:

i noticed that you wrote article as if “magaling ka na” (you’re an expert). “Maiconsider mo ba sarili mo na successful ka na?” (Can you consider yourself a successful one?)

Am I successful?

Since the start of using a writing style that I am using now, lots of users, friends and blogging-recruits ask me this question…”Are you successful already in blogging?” And when I answer that question, I always tell them first how I define the term “Success” which means, “the state when goals are achieved.”

I know that you already knew how I started blogging. Lots of times that I talked about it on my old posts. And again, I will tell you that my very aim in blogging since my start on it is to enhance my English writing skills.

Did I successfully enhanced my English writing skills? Definitely yes! But I can’t still say that I am already on my peak of this success, because enhancing or improving my writing skills… it seems… has no peak.

To let you know, in just one month since my start of blogging, I already noticed changes on my writing styles and writing skills. At first, I could hardly compose a paragraph without writing it first in Filipino (Philippine Language) and then translating it into English. That’s was a very time-consuming way of writing. But I wasn’t staying on that state. Every day, as I write articles or blogposts, I always notice improvements. And if you’ll compare my way of writing on the year 2003 to this date, you’ll notice a big difference.

Every time I read those 2003 posts, I always feel something strange as if I am ashamed of my self. But, that’s the truth, and I really wrote badly at that time. No wonder, my blog’s visitors called me idiot, dumb or moron.

So, in my goal to improve my English writing skills, I can say that I am quiet successful.

Other goals in blogging

However, I have tons of goals for my blogs. And I should examine if I am already successful in attaining those goals, because that’s one of the ways to keep your blogging business or career up.

The following are few of my goals in blogging:

  1. Increase the blog’s traffic
  2. Increase the blog’s number of regular visitors
  3. Increase the blog’s number of feed subscribers
  4. Increase the number of quality back-links
  5. Increase the number of visitors who interact, share ideas and dropped comments

And just like what I achieved on my goal to enhance my writing skills, I am also successful on these goals but I still need to work more hard to maintain the success that I’ve got. Remember that for me, these goals seems no peak so I will just do my best to increase the rate of my success on these monthly, if not daily.

Set your Blogging Goals too

If you really want to know if you are successful in your blogging business or career, then you must set your goals too. Everyday before you go to sleep, examine first your self if you already achieved the blogging success.

Ask your self, “Am I successful in blogging?“

    galing naman po. Ang bilis po ng sagot. Isang oras lang po yata ang nakaraan ng magcomment ako at heto agad ang sagot.

    Talaga nga pong successful ka sa blogging…

    But i noticed na hindi kasama sa goal mo ang blog monetization. Wala po kayong goals kung magkano ang dapat mong kikitain sa blog mo? I think, you should also have goals sa ganyan dahil you are also teaching us how to make money online. Pano ka makapagturo ng ways on making money online if you don’t have goals on it too diba?

    hope na mabilis din ang sagot mo sa tanong kung ito hehehehe

    Hi Sel,

    Sorry for the OT. But my site was just accepted by Reviewme with a $60 payout. Problem is I can’t find the section where I can get a banner for my site. Also, what’s the code or the link that it should point to?

    Anyways, if you’re not busy, kindly help. You can just email or YM me.

    Thanks again, chief.

    Btw, SEL, the banner is affiliate related. I still can’t find the “get reviewed by this site for $XX” like yours. Anyways, your readers might be interested in more blogging tips since gmtristan.com was recently featured in businessworld both in online and in print.

    Thanks again,
