Confession of a Blogger

confession

Friends this post is nothing more than a dark confession of me, I  did something wrong 2 years back and now I want to confess this in front of you to get me out of this shame and regret.

Before I start with my confession I would like to share few things, some   hidden truth that might hamper my reputation, but since my readers are my asset, so I prefer to confess, rather then letting them to do same mistake which I made few years back.

and blogging is all about speaking the truth, and here I go:

I started blogging long time back (almost 2 years), that time I was kind of blogger Who Use to write less and copy more from popular blog, ( plagiarism) though Sometime I copied the whole post, and that was the first mistake of my blogging career.

I still remember the day when i got a mail from one of the popular blog writer name Nirmal from Life Rocks, he was not offended, he sincerely asked me to remove the posts which i copied from his site ( which I did), but only one word in his mail made me to confess today is that “You are stealing the post”.

Yes I was stealing posts that time, but I was not monetizing it, I did it to share knowledge with all, whatever I find appropriate for me and for others  but my approach was very wrong.

and now I can proudly say that each and every post of  Shoutmeloud is my creation, in every post I have given my best though I’m learning from my mistake so in case of any ambiguity do let me know but now its time for me to confess the sin which I did:

I confess that I made a crime by stealing other content though being a newbie blogger, I had no idea about copy content is not legal and I was doing it to share knowledge and not to make  money.

Story started with my first blog on BlogSpot where I used to copy technology related posts from other blog. I used to copy certain posts which I found useful and thought other would also like to read.  I was a newbie blogger and that time I had no idea about RSS, traffic or monetization of blog.

Friends this post is for all who are still into copying stuff or stealing ideas, (Plagiarism )

Stop doing it now! Else one day you might say sorry for the things you doing now.

Your brain is your workshop, think of something which is original or present idea in a way that no one ever thought of presenting in that way.

Today I’m at a stage that I earn handsomely good sum of $ every month because of blogging and I needed to make this confession before I spend a single penny from that money.

Guys create your own identity by writing something that will make you feel great. This will also help your blog to grow and create a brand of yours.

You will realize soon that when you write you write for yourself first, if you can’t write for yourself, how can you expect 1000 of readers reading your article?

and in the end it’s all about creating your own identity as a Blogger.

I’m sure by now the message which I’m trying to share with you is loud and clear and I appreciate you for reading my confession.
