the FUTURE in BLOGGING

I was chatting with a blogging buddy some few weeks ago about the future of blogging. She even asked me if I wanted to be a contributor in a beauty blog. I have often hear and read that blogging is the future. In 5 years time, almost everyone in our generation will have at least 1 blog and half of them will be earning from it. Isn't that truly amazing?

Anyways, going back to our chat which ended at 4am. She told me about someone who is actually earning sooo much just because of blogging. So the curios side of me made me wide awake till 7am the next day. I researched, surfed and surfed and discovered that there are really a lot of people making more than $10k a month purely by blogging! Of course, the very famous Perez Hilton only started out as a personal blogger and look at where he is now.

Blogging these days can be collaborated to the "New Marketing". Designer brands such as Gucci and Chanel have been inviting pro bloggers to their important events: read:runway shows, campaigns etc... and they treat these pro-bloggers as special as some very important fashion critique. They usually get the best seats in fashion shows! WOW!



Almost everyone is targeting the online market. Who wouldn't? And bloggers are the strongest when it comes to expressing their own POVs. With everyone making their own sites, expressing themselves in their own blogs and getting in touch through internet network sites, a big shift is happening.

What I'm trying to say here is as long as you enjoy blogging, go ahead do it but be wary of the blogging ethics when writing. Say, acknowledge quotes, pictures you are using in your blog entries. When I started blogging in 2004, I am not truly aware of all these. I started to blog in the year when blogging was just starting to become a hit, I got pregnant at that time and as a 1st-time mom, I wanted to record every single thing that pregnancy changed in me as well as every milestone my son makes as he grows up hence the birth of http://em.wifespeaks.com. Then my blogroll list grew bigger and memes are popping out of nowhere so the birth of this detour site.

In the next few days I am coming out with a 3rd blog (i can hear people throwing shout outs at me: "ADDICT LOL!"), and yes I have become an addict in blogging more LOLz! But this 3rd blog is something I really like, some skill I have no means to express now as a make-up artist. I will share every knowledge I learn through the years on beauty, grooming, make-up and any vanities that keep every woman beautiful and purely sane. I will also feature local make-up artists, when I say local: I'm saying Philippines. I'm still doing a lot of weaking here and there and I promise to tell you first. I am really excited about it. So for now, let's all be happy and merry with our blogosphere! Happy Monday to everyone! toodles.
