Officially Back in the Blogging Business. ;-)

Officially Back in the Blogging Business. ;-)

by Melvin · Aug 23, 2011

Yohoo! Looks like I’m back for real! lol.

Shortly after the May 21 fake doomsday blog entry that I made, I gave a hint that I should be giving more effort in my blogging career or whatever it is you may want to call it. In fact a month before that, I wrote a post where I said that I was going to revive this blog.

If you’re a loyal reader of this blog, you’ll spot that the reason for my lack of activity (only 16 posts in the last 6 months) in blogging is work. Since June last year, I got employed and late last year I started taking consulting clients (regarding SEO and online business). That has pretty much made me indisposed up until early May.

But Where Have I Been?

If I got free since early May, why haven’t I been posting so much? The honest answer is:

“I got tired of blogging”.

Fact of the matter is when I started getting lots of free time, I replaced that with a).playing b). hanging out with friends and c).spending more time w/ family. I did so many things that teenagers usually normally do and it’s  fun. Obviously it had some effects on the stats and profitability but who cares? I wanna enjoy life eh!  Also aside from that I still have my normal day job w/c at times is labor-intensive.

Anyway I couldn’t believe I would say these thing considering that I have been blogging since my early college days and have been workaholic since then. But I guess I got hit with the infamous line ‘you might be missing a lot of things that you should be enjoying at your age’.

Plans

Strange enough, I should’ve posted this type of post a long ago. The reason and logic behind opting not to post this earlier is that I want to write content first on a continuous basis before claiming that I’m back with blogging. Prior to this entry, you can look at my archives and see that I’m back with my normal posting frequency. I don’t want to do the annoying mistake of writing a comeback post and then not post again until a month after which is pretty much what I’ve done in the past few months.

As far as plans, I don’t really have new plans yet aside from just regaining back my momentum in blogging. I would also like to recoup the lost traffic (lots) that I got for not posting and being active that much. From there, I’ll just see where it goes.

I’m also planning out on releasing some free materials that I’ll give out to my newsletter subscribers. Like with the blog, I haven’t been sending that much to my list that they might have gotten cold already. So its also a top priority for me to get my newsletter going as well.

Those are the things new to me, how about you?
