BLOGGING, HOW IT STARTED FOR ME.


Let me spare you the story of how I discovered my talent, passion and ability to write for another day, and go straight into how  I became a Blogger. 

Okay. So after I had written so many things on my personal experiences, thoughts, and philosophies, I  began to think  it would be nice to share it with people by publishing it. I  began to  talk to people about my intention. I also began to search for someone who would edit and proofread the book.
All the people I discussed my first book with said it was not a bad idea to publish it. But hey, the reverse was the case when I brought it up on the floor of “mentuor,” a group I belong to on whattsap.
“Why not start first by sharing your write-ups on different  platforms on the social media;  such as this, mentour, to get people’s pulse; constructive criticisms concerning your material, etc, and get some following; people who would like to read your books when you eventually publish it, rather than just head straight to the press to publish it?”  They asked me unanimously. They also suggested I should go blogging, adding that doing that would help improve my ability with the pen immensely.  Truth is I started writing not quiet long.
Although I was already sharing some of my write-up  with my  friends on Facebook, I never thought of going beyond there, therefore  their suggestions sounded so nice to me. From that moment onward I started thinking of having a blog.  It dawned on me also that blogging would enable me reach a wider audience. That was how this blog was born.

However, before I created this blog, I have been reading about blogging but didn’t take it serious then.  I didn’t believe I could blog without someone literally, holding me by the hand and showing me what to and what not to do. But when there was nobody to do that for me, necessity became the mother of invention, I had no choice but to do it myself, I was willing to learn by trials and error.  So I went back to all the old editions of Success Digest Magazine that I bought some years back, read everything I could find about blogging and online money making models. After gathering so much information, I began to create my own blog.

Oh, how could I forget to this, after trying and failing on different attempts to create my first blog, I dragged Opegreat, my brother in the Lord, to the cafe so that he would show me how to do it. Opegreat owns
http://www.renewnaija.com. It was after my encounter with him and getting information from the net on how to create a blog that I could single handedly create this  one.
Coming up with richbelievers and its purpose wasn’t  an easy task, I must confess. But with time, patience, practice and doggedness and asking myself questions on what I intends doing with it, I came through. (hahaha). I thank God.

Now that I have registered my presence online, I want to start sharing with you, everything I know about personal interests/development, blogging, relationship, and the likes.
I know there are people out there who would find what I will be doing here interesting. I know there are people who would like to have their own blog, do one or two things with it but they can’t because they don’t know how to go about it. I know also that out there are people who would like  to earn some cool bucks with what they know but don’t know how to go about it. Hey, listen to me, you are in the right place with someone who is willing to help you if you are one of the above persons, especially if you are a newbies.  I am not saying that I know so much about blogging, making money online. No, not at all. I am only one  person who don’t hold back information. I like to pass on to people everything I know about anything.

God bless you for visiting my blogsite. You can also visit me on www.richbelievers.blogspot.com
