Adding to the Misconception on Blogging
Karlo: Oh, so you are new to blogging? Welcome!
Karlo: Hahaha. So, where did you hear of blogging?
Blogger: Aaa… sa Mel and Joey. I saw that I could easily earn money from blogging which is why I quickly signed up for one. Hehe. Sana kumita ako dito.
Karlo: Oh…. Really?…. [A conversation with a new blogger over at YM]
Blog? Diba pwede akong maging milyonaryo dyan?
If we would look at the present state of the blogosphere, we would notice that the population of Pinoy bloggers is only a small fraction when compared to the overall number of Pinoy users who use the internet today. Like what I said on my article, “Pinoy Awareness on Blogging“, I have observed that the blogosphere still has great potential to grow, the only thing that we need is to promote ourselves not just to the online world, but also to the outside world.
A lot of bloggers today, including yours truly, are striving to introduce blogging to those who are still unaware of it. We’ve managed to get a few people to jump in on the bandwagon, but the numbers still wasn’t enough to push blogging into a growth spurt. We needed a medium that could reach out to a great audience. We needed the power of television.
Then the opportunity came…
A couple of weeks ago, the show “Mel and Joey” under the GMA7 TV network featured a short segment about earning money through blogging. Finally! A chance for blogging to be discovered by other Pinoys. Such an instance is a rarity in local media which is why everyone looked forward to watching the said show. [Watch the clip here]
