Blogging Contest

Hello friends,

After discussed with my dad the other day, my dad agreed to have a blogging contest during this school holidays. It is great idea for us to have something to do using our computer rather than chatting, chatting and chatting

This also will expose to us on how to create a blog or a website on our own. At first I thought to have a website is not possible for us students but after listening to my dad on what he did, I am really excited to have my own and share to all my friends online. A blog is just like a diary which we would like to share about anything with our friends online.

My dad said nowadays, blogging is a tool to do marketing too. How is that? At first I could not believed him. Here how it goes. When we have a blog, we will tell our friends about our blog. If the content and the design of our blog is interesting, our friends will then recommend this blog to his or her friends and the link goes on and on and on. This is somehow like a “virus” and my dad said in marketing world it is called Viral Marketing.

Then say upon 5 months, say I have more than 1,000 readers to this blog. So in term of marketing, if I have a product to sell via my blog I could make money as well. How? Say I wanna sell a special hair clips which is selling at only RM10 for 10 pieces (just an example). So when I post it here, say the 1,000 readers will read my hair clips product. If only 100 people from the 1,000 readers are willing to buy from me, I will have an income of RM10 x 100 = RM1,000 ! just by selling here at my blog. Wow ! this really sound very interesting. No wonder my dad told me that in Malaysia there is already an Internet Millionaire at the age of 22 when he is still in college.
