After many months of thinking about starting up a blog I finally took the plunge and on the 15th of March 2008 I purchased a domain name, bought myself some hosting and signed up with Wordpress. Was it really as simple as that, well there were a few teething problems, which you would expect when you’re participating in something completely new. But there wasn’t anything that I couldn’t overcome, the beauty of life in the 21st century, is if you ever need answers, Google is always there to lend a helping hand.

My goal with my blog was to post at least one article a day, which can take anything between 45 to 90 minutes depending on how focussed I am, on that particular day. I know I aint going to win any awards for the quality of my writing, grammar or spelling! But I feel my blog is reasonable entertaining and informative, which is what it is meant to be. I’m not pretending to be the next Ernest Hemmingway like some other bloggers out there. I’m doing the best I can and gradually improving as a blogger.

My goal like any other blogger out there is to get as many people reading my blog as possible, what’s the point if know one reads it? It goes without saying, I hope to make some money out of my blog, and I’m not really looking for fame, unless the fame involves lots of pretty girls drooling over me. I can look but cant touch, buts its still a prospect that appeals to me!

My results so far as a new blogger are as follows, I have summarised my first full month of Blogging which was April. I will not be including March because quite simply, that month was basically about setting the blog up and finding out how everything worked. My readership figures are not based upon 100’s of family and friends. I haven’t told a living soul that I personally know about my blog apart from my wife, why did I do this? I wanted to know how many people are really reading my blog because they want too, not because they feel obligated too!

The Results For April 2008

Unique Visitors:      993
Number of Visits:   3213
Pages viewed:       21797
Subscribers:          5

Earnings:

Google Adsense:  $35.69
Playing Poker:      $98.35 (I have added this because poker is a big  part of my blog)
Donations:           $15.00

Total:                   $149.04

I’m reasonable happy with these figures and will try to write better and more cutting edge articles. I plan on working hard to increase my readership and will be adding some more moneymaking opportunities to my blog during May. I appreciate everyone that has read my articles and has added to the revenue of my blog.

I started out this blog well aware that it takes a fair amount of time and effort for things to move forward; I’m in it for the long term. There is so much to learn to make a blog a success, but if we never had new things to learn and challenges to meet, I suppose life would become kinda dull.
