When i first heard about blogging, I didn't know that it was not as hard as the name sounded. I remember one time while I was on my six months industrial training (IT) at a radio station , I saw a colleague who was always on her laptop. I was inquisitive and asked her what she was always doing. She explained that she was just sourcing for news and pasting it on her blog. I thought it was a stressful thing to always do.
I mean, how can you be on your laptop 24/7 just to source for happenings. Are you a newspaper?
I asked her if she was earning anything from it and she said "not yet, but soon". I laughed at her. However, when I saw any trending gist, I usually send it to her which she very much appreciated.
So one day, she was writing on a trending gist at that time and I was just reading it. But i realized that she she didn't construct her sentence properly. I had to rewrite it for her. It was about 2k + words and she was amazed at the end result. She looked and me and said, " joy, don't you think you should do this? You studied English and communication studies, which gives you an edge. You have a good command of English too. You should blog too". This time around I laughed at her times two of how i laughed the first time. In my head, I was thinking how I would be on my laptop from morning till night doing what wouldn't fetch me money. But that didn't stop me from sending her some gists for her blog.
Little did I know that I was also blogging indirectly. When I met @attentioneeded after school, he too was always on his phone and as usual, I asked him what he was doing. He told me that he was blogging. I rolled my eyes at first. But my ears popped when he said he was making money. I quickly dragged my chair to him immediately and he explained everything. That was how I officially became a blogger on hive.
We are all bloggers because we have social media accounts where we post everyday. That automatically makes us bloggers. The only difference maybe that we don't tie the name "blogging" to our titles.
Since I started blogging, I have enjoyed every bit of it. I have grown past money being my motivation to the point where I just do it for fun. Someone told me that the way I write is unique because I write in a way that people can relate with my contents. I think this is because I do not write with any pressure. I just write with the flow and that has made writing for me easy.
As a writer, I write from the comfort of my phone. I hardly type with my laptop because I cannot type well with it. I don't even know where the keys are. Looking for the punctuations are even the worse. I don't have the strength for headache. So I just use my phone. I can even close my eyes and type with my phone and I type really fast with it.
Before I post anything, I write on my notepad first. I don't want to hear that my village people made me publish mistakenly without proofreading. So after writing on my pad, I proofread,make corrections and paste on the site. Doing this just makes me conscious of my writing.
Blogging has been a beautiful experience for me. I have learnt a lot because it takes a lot of research, unlearning and learning too. What has made me stayed this long in blogging is because i found my passion, created a niche and focused on it.
If you look away from the monetary aspect and just develop a passion for writing,you will do very well. So I tell everyone who cares to listen that you must not write every topic you see. Choose the ones that interests you and you can relate with very well and write on it. That way, you find yourself flowing very well whilst writing.
I hope this makes sense. Thank you #hivelearners for this topic. It has made me appreciate my capabilities once again.
Thank you for reading.
many of the blog writers only rely on writing without a passion for writing. but you are amazing. you make your passion in writing. so that the passion you bring will create an extraordinary writing.

I enjoyed this article! It was nice learning your experiences with proofreading and writing and how you came to blog here on Hive. I always stress that point to people about writing passionately about what you’re passionate about. It makes a world of a difference in how you flow and how people relate to your content.
I was actually in the process of researching how to build my own blogging website when my husband and I were introduced to cryptocurrency. In the midst of that I was introduced to what was back then Steemit, and I haven’t researched how to build my own site since then. I’ve been blogging here with this Hive community for the past five years and have enjoyed it all. I do plan on building my own site but only for the purpose of selling my handmade products as well as creating another site for our family’s photography business we’re building :)
I mostly blog from my cell phone as well (because I’m always on the go and rarely take my laptop out of the house). That will be changing soon due to my husband is setting me up an office area in our room with a desk, desk top and the whole works…yay :D
Keep up the great work you’re doing. When I read your first blog posts I knew you would bring quality and interesting content for us to read. I’m so glad I ran into you ~ ❤️
This has been my secret for a long time now. I realize that I don't even struggle to write. I find the words just coming to me easily.
Now this is a motivation. Wow. I joined hive 4 months ago. And I must say that it has been a beautiful journey so far. Even though sometimes I don't get the upvotes that I think I should have gotten when I make a post. But ever since I stopped expecting much, I have felt a lot better.
This is a wonderful plan. I wish you and your husband the very best.
Keep up the great work you’re doing. When I read your first blog posts I knew you would bring quality and interesting content for us to read. I’m so glad I ran into you ~
With these words, I am going to sleep well this night😬. Thank you for your kind words.

Nice, you write well, indeed! I haven't been very active here lately, but the experience was good so far! 😎
Please come back to being active. I look forward to your posts too.
Particularly, I was looking for your article
I also think you should blog too. You aren't doing so wonderful right now on hive, I think its a wonderful thing. I have read about a few post and they all say they don't want stress especially the ladies, truthfully blogging is sweet and stressful.
How Na? Babe that part follow for motivation. If I earned some low, I would want to do better article, better composure, better word grouping,and even better thought out ideas. So don't look away baby girl. Lol.... I totally understand you. But I bet you can't look away from the monetary aspect, it's part of the reason we are all here.
Can't you just not love money for once?😬😬😬. Money is the driving force. But what happens when you don't earn, you loose focus and get tired. But when you do it for the love of it, whether money comes or not, you find out that you moving regardless.
I had this notion in 2018 when jungle mature i was left behind, lol
