Blogs about Blogging. That seems like kind of a ridiculous idea in theory, doesn’t it? Although it seems like there are a LOT of blogs about blogs.. without all of those writers out there posting about how they came into the business, the tricks and tips that worked for them, and what to avoid that allows us all the help of avoiding that obstacle, we wouldn’t have the community of online publisher/blogger network that we all enjoy being a part of. I think in a small way bloggers that are out there actively participating and writing about their experiences and downfalls are doing a great service of good globally by “helping thy neighbor” albeit metaphorically.

I also think that due to financial strains from inflation and the recession is having a huge impact on families and “fresh out of college” individuals. More people are looking for ways to create income in non-traditional markets, especially artists like myself. Those of us in the 20-35 something range who have children are finding we can’t physically or mentally juggle a job, a child, the finances, the housework, a relationship and have a creative outlet all at once, even WITH the help of a full-time loving, working, “hands-on” partner or family members present. Whether you are an individual living alone, with friends or a family with kids or just frustrated with how hard it is to “get on your feet” and build a “nest egg,” many are fed up with the constant struggle and turning to opportunities to make money online.

While there are equally as many “scam” sites taking advantage of newcomers, there are also many many authors and blogs that are honestly trying to help educate and encourage those who are making an honest effort to join the community. One such blog that is contributing a lot to the self-starters is this one called Maxwebdesign. As I have always been a fan of community outreach and activism, I feel that blogs dedicated to helping others with SEO, programming, increasing traffic and maximizing their earning potential are in their own way the same ideal. These sites are educational and help you learn at your own pace and skill level. If you are an author of one of those blog for web design  and SEO, Monetizing, Programming and Tips and Tricks sites, keep up the good work, the stronger we are as a community the stronger the system will be. Help “your neighbor” out and help us all build a stronger foundation and a brighter future.
