Get down to basic in blogging like Doogie Howser MD
Is blogging has reached its climax and coming to an end already?
AhPek thinks blogging is not going anywhere except circle around Malaysia while Wuching finds blogging isn't fun anymore.
I guess the main factor that kills our interest in blogging is paid post. It deviates our main intention in blogging (before people starts blogging for money) from being personal and informative to money making. And not to mention that it kills our page ranks overnight.
Perhaps we should go back to the basic. Just like the show Doogie Howser MD, Neil Patrick Harris who ended the show by using his computer to write weekly journal entries. And it's always about his own feelings and experiences. That's the part where all of us viewers back then looking forward to.
Now, I'm thinking, blogging on weekly basis might be a good idea.
10 drop shot(s):
-
Yes! People just get losing the actual purpose because of paid post.
I stop writing paid post, and concentrate in writing my experience, anything, but pay post.
Weekly basis? I will just write anything if I feel like want to, and no frequency, sometimes 3 posts a day~
-
blogging does require a lot of my time..i have no ads to write now after PR drop form 4 to 0 :)
-
vhanded: great to hear dat u are 'back to basic' ;)
bengbeng: paid post are history now.but hopefully it will not deter people from continuing writing, which is what we are all into blogging at the beginning ;)
-
Yeah since most of us PR down to 0, I can see a lot of bloggers have not updating their blogs as frequent as last time.
Yeah paid post do affect on that.
For me, I can say I am quite new on blogging and I was just able to write few paid post then my blog has been demoted to 0.
Some more, my initial plan on blogging is to share my personal stuffs beside working to friends. So now back to basic ! :)
-
I'll write paid post if I can find open opportunity. Extra cash ma. Hehe...
And I admit I don't write daily (mon-fri) now. Mostly due to writer's block and because I find myself on the net more than anything else. Have to slow down.

keeyit: nice to hear that most of us are going back to the basic in blogging. I don't write paid posts anymore too and will only write subjects that interest me. I think I will cut down on meme too.
che-cheh: Hey, write more about Chester and your cooking because that's what I love to read on your blog.
-
I would agreed that after Big G kill all our PR, most of us do not do paid posts anymore or on selected paid posts only.
Once you stop doing Paid Posts, the interest is not more there. :)
-
sam: i guess motivation is the main thing that get people to blog and write as many posts per day (besides the traffic).
the things that keeps me writing now is current readers and blogger friends as well as to publish my own thought and opinions.
-
hcfoo: I will continue to blog as I still have many blogger friends and would like to share what I feel worth posting.
What I meant earlier was that once you stop doing paid post, the interest on blogging for money is no more the main motivation.
-
sam: oh that is true. same here. blogging for money is no longer in my mind oredi. and i think i haf more ideas to write that way ;)
