I don’t think you should blog just to have a digital diary or a public posting of your personal and private thoughts.
But a blog with a purpose? Well, that’s worthwhile – and amazingly might actually be worth Something. Greenbacks – Ad Revenue. And since I’ve never taken a vow of poverty, I spent a day learning at the feet of an expert – Bill Belew. Lots to know – and he teaches just about all of it in his workshop.
A key element for a workshop is to have a teacher who is actually doing what they are teaching – and doing it well.
Check. Bill does it – and teaches the how, the where, and (shhhhhh) the secrets.
My head is cranking at a thousand miles an hour and my fingers are flying. I’m USING the things I learned.
The result – a lot of dedicated, consistent blogging that should result in revenue. Fine by me.
I too was at Bill’s workshop. Wow! Are you going to the Tuesday night meetup (s)? http://www.meetup.com/South-Bay-Writers/
They are free.
would love to be there to get more time to pick his and everyone else’s brain…but I’m in a writing group on Tuesday nights through June. After that – I will definitely show up at these Meet ups!
Thanks for coming, Ellen! I sincerely hope you see your blogging goals. Please let me know if there is any other way I can help out.
You mean Cindi….
I enjoyed the Blogging Workshop too. Bill constantly has ideas running in his mind and I learn something every time I meet him.
Like the others, I enjoyed the workshop and Bill has definitely given me exactly what I was looking for. Good look on your writing goals and happy writing!
Write, and write some more.
I write for love and for money…albeit I admit, I’d do it for free if I could do it all day…but if one can get paid for doing what they love…why not?

Truly Vik – if you love it and you know that feeling – you know you’d do it every day all day – money be damned!!
