Bye bye Job, Welcome Full time blogging

by Harsh Agrawal on March 4, 2009

in Shoutmeloud

First of all something about me for the people who Don’t know me:

Hi, I’m Harsh Agarwal, an engineer from New Delhi. I was working with Convergys technologies and now I left my job for   blogging. I know people will call it madness because I left the job at the time of recession when people are dying for job.

Honestly it was   a very tough decision for me to leave my job for blogging. Its been 6 month now that I have been blogging seriously but its me who knows how hard it was me to show my Online presence, blogging along with the 12 hr job.Harsh Agarwal

Finally I quit my job because I see lots of opportunities for me in the field of blogging. I will rather say anybody who is into blogging has more opportunities to capture online market. They keyword is regularity, dedication and positive attitude.

I was just a college going student when I started blogging and things which I have learned till now is from personal experiences, I have faced the failure and learned a lot from those mistakes.

It took me almost 2 month to decide

Is Full time blogging belongs to me or not?

I won’t comment on this until I see my progress. My only target is to provide quality articles and quality contents so that I can keep up the trust that I have build in these few months. Specially now, when Blogging is only source for my bread and butter I can’t afford to make any mistakes. Bread butter

So I will make sure every article I will write, every piece of information I will give you will be based on research.

I’m always open to feedback and suggestion. You are always welcome to drop a mail at admin[at]shoutmeloud.com

Moreover I will keep sharing my experience and the source from where I’m making money so that other people who are thinking of taking blogging seriously can take an example.

So am I going to blog only for money?

Instant answer no. I blog because I love it. Money will also be a factor but I don’t because blogging is my only source of revenue for me, but I don’t have to go out of the way to make money. I will be giving lots of services like SEO services, affiliate marketing and adsense. That will be my source of money. Apart from I will start with other blog on some other niche. I’m currently working on the idea for my new blog.

Shoutmeloud is constantly doing good in terms of ranking and attracting big fish from the blogging industry. Hope we will continue this journey like this.

Right now I don’t need anything from you apart from a Good luck wish.

Hey dude

I hope it turn out to be a wise decision for career and professional approach and objectives.

Yeah, even I feel that there is scope in market related to S.E.O and Other Web Promotions. Working, as an IT engineer, I recently completed a project up with the S.E.O. and experience was just awesome. It certainly tends me more towards Online Services and Promotions now.

Though impossible is I M Possible then there is nothing to worry about Bread and Butter. It is a wise decision, as India is Developing Nation, there would be the tough challenges and competitions, so just have face with true spirits. Good Going….!

That’s a very daring move you have taken, I suppose.

At this brink of recession, I suggest you should have adhered to your profession a bit more longer.

Well, cant talk on this point because I am not aware of what your financial assets are and how long can you support yourself in the long run.

But, anyway, would like to help out in any manner possible. Ping me when free. Lets talk business. I do have some ideas which we can discuss, create and monetize and make them work.

Feels great to see someone take blogging so seriously and quit his job to take it up full time!

Great going buddy and must say, really impressed with the articles you write. Regarding the bounce rate, don’t put it on the theme so much. More than that it’s the clever way in which you have place internal links on all your posts. Excellent!

I myself have 7 tabs right now that belong to your blog so that confirms you sure know how to tangle readers in your posts ;)

Would love to work with you someday!

Thanks Nischal!!
I started Internall linking as part of SEO and somehow it helped me a lot to take care of bounce rate as well.
Though thesis typography helped me at the same time :)
