Until this day many of my friends and family are still wondering what I do on the internet and how in the world I make money blogging. I know for many people it’s hard for them to believe that you can make a living with your blog or with your online business.
Man! We are so Programmed to believe that if you want to get ahead in life you need to go to college so you can make good money.
Well at some level this is true I am very big on education, I actually have a degree in Marketing and I’ve continued to learn, but education alone cannot make you rich or get you ahead in life.
It takes patience, a lot of patience, dedication, consistency and self-motivation all these are needed to achieve success in anything.
But for many the internet is just a toy or some kind of game and many people still think that you need to get a regular JOB you know 9-5 day JOB and this internet business is not real or anything.
It just makes me laugh sometimes. So anyways when talking to friends and family like if there’s a gathering, an occasion or some kind of holiday I always get this typical question like "What Do You Do Again?", “You said it has something to do with internet right?”
They’re all just asking me all kinds of questions, “Oh is that a MLM thing”? “I’ve heard that they’re all just bunch of scams”, and they just go and on and on…
Even though I’ve ONLY told them a million times that I am a blogger and explain to them what exactly I do they just don’t get it.
But one question really kind of make me stop and think when one person asked me “Why blog?”, or “Why do you blog?” Man! these kind of questions are like music to my ears because I know exactly why I blog, and here’s why!
 |
I blog because it’s FUN! Also I get to make fun of my mother in-law! (Mom I am just kidding you know I love you so much) |
|
I blog because it allows me to express myself, share my ideas and I’m able to help others to do the same from all over the world. |
|
|
I blog because it allows me to work from home and save my butt from those grouchy bosses! well my Ex-Boss Phil is actually very nice to me and he’s actaully my subscriber NOW! |
|
I blog because I want to take a coffee break when ever I want and not to get stuck in those 3 hour useless corporate meetings! |
|
I blog because I want to be the boss, you hear that? I want to be the boss!! (second to my wife ha! ha!) |
|
I blog because this is my job security and I’m able to pay my bills and support my family here in Vegas and in the Philippines. |
|
I blog because it allows me to do what I love and am passionate about like helping others, writing, graphics and marketing and I just love to blog! |
But really I blog because of… See Below!
Yes! I want to see them (My Family) and be with them everyday! This is priceless and you cannot put any price TAG on that! So it’s your turn "Why Do You Blog?" or if you don’t have a blog, Well Start Blogging!
That’s it and feel free to comment! (Don’t be Shy!) also when you comment and you have URL to your site it will show on the sidebar of this blog and guess what you’ll get some of my traffic!
Please do me a huge favor if you know anyone that can benefit from this information please forward this post by using the SHARE THIS below, I’ll promise you they’ll thank you for it!
Till Next Time and God Bless You!

Hey Albert,
I can relate to people saying “it’s a scam”. I have no idea where they get this idea. Maybe they associate email spam with any way of making money via the internet. Who knows?
Thanks for sharing the photos of your wonderful family. Being mixed race myself, I love to see the wonderful combinations that are possible! Your family look great!

Hi Albert,
It must be Tuesday – like clockwork you can expect a blog post by Albert
You’re right “It takes patience, a lot of patience, dedication, consistency and self-motivation all these are needed to achieve success in anything.”
I just want to add one more thing – Focus. It’s so easy to get distracted, and start chasing too many “money making” ideas and forget about the things that really work.
Focus on the tasks that work. Writing content will always work, and there’s no better way to provide that content than blogging.
Okay, I wrote that for myself, because I have a tendency to lose focus.
