2009 Planning

Everyone have wishing something to archive this year and they hope this year will be their successful year. To archive something, off course we need to make a proper planning. I also have my own plan this year but what I need to write now is only a plan for this blog. I think every bloggers also should have their own plan and have something to aim this year as pro blogger as John Chow and John Cow also have one.

Today is already 7th January 2009, but I hope it still not too late for me to make this plan. After bought my own domain 2nd January 2009 it will be my first step to succeed this year. It’s showed that how serious I’m to be a better blogger someday. 133tTech will be my own brand or product now and I really love this name because “133t” mean elite and “Tech” mean technology. Of course I’m not as elite as my blog’s name but this will be my future target and I hope I’ll be as elite as my blog’s name. As Donald Trump said: “Think big and Kick Ass”. It’s only the people who really think big and have a long vision can have a great success. Why you must be satisfied making $100 whereas you can make $1000? Why be satisfied making $1000 when you can make a million? And so on. Below is my list of planning for this year:

1. To Improve English and writing skills.

To make a better article we need to possess a good English and writing skills. Even we have a good knowledge about what we need to write, but without having better English and writing skill, maybe users will misunderstood what we really want to tell them. Even I’m not so sure this article have a grammatical error or not. To archive this, I’ve bought an Oxford Guide to English Grammar books and have my elder sister to teach me. To improve my English is also one of my purposes of blogging.


2. To improve my Information and Technology knowledge.

I intend to share a very good IT knowledge to my visitors and what I’ve doing everyday is to connect myself with a latest IT knowledge every day. What I’ve already doing is to have better sources like lifehacker.com, techcrunch.com, digg.com, wired.com and a lot more. I’ve subscribed this entire sources using Google’s reader. I hope this year I’ll learn a lot of latest knowledge.


3. To gain more traffic to my blog (visitor)

Traffics are important for all blogs. Without have traffics, blog is solitary. Is like restaurant without customers. Entire of my blog’s traffics come from Google, blog directories such as www.mybloglog.com (I got lot of traffic from this), www.blogcatalog.com, link baiting at forum, commenting at top bloggers’ blog, and etc. For this year I think I must spend a lot of hour on generating traffic to my blog other than spending a lot of hour on making an article. I need to promote my blog to more social networking site like I’m doing now at www.facebook.com (and it really generates traffics). I think is important to socialize on internet and after that exchange a blog link with them. This is important because as for example the restaurant with a great and cheap food but without people notice it, of course you can’t make any sell even a glass of water.


4. To have my own hosting

Actually I only have a domain name and hope this year I can have my own hosting because it’s too limited blogging without have own hosting.

There will be a lot more what I need to doing this year but my entire plan above is what I’m thinking right now. Last but not least is, I need to change my attitude and push myself to give a lot of hour on work than sleep and I wish a very good luck to myself.

So what are you plans this year? If you have one please share it here.

Tumblr, another way to share thought

Hurm, how i suppose to start this. Actually, today I'm registered with tumblr after i read a posting at Johncow blog. He gave a very nice tips about how to drive traffic to your blog without depend on Google's traffic and using tumblr is one of his tips.

If blog is like a journal then tumblr is like scrapbook that you can create a fast post to share your thought, images, and audio. Unlike Twitter, Tumblr is more robust because it offer sharing picture, videos, links, quotes, short snippets of text and others. It is so easy to setup and use. But what I hate is, when I found out that it spelled my Capital with wrong letter. It should be Kuala Lumpur not Kuala Lumpar (Hehe).

I just give it a try and why dont you also give it a try and my thumblr id is besballbat.tumblr.com.

My first blogging tips for beginner

This is my first blogging tips after about 2 weeks I become a fresh blogger. Although I think I’m not worthy enough to tell everyone how to blog but I really wanted to share what I’ve already doing in journey to become a real blogger (someday). Anyway, this is not really my blogging tips. What I want to share here is actually the tips that according to what I’ve already applied from other top bloggers.

One of my favorite top blogger is Yaro Starak with his very famous "Roadmap to become a blogger" book. I already read his free "Roadmap to become a blogger for beginner" (but still not finish yet) and personally I think his ideas are interesting and really inspire me. So what he tell in his book and what I’ve already followed? He made a simple but effective milestones for beginner blogger that I think everyone who want to be a blogger must follow his milestones. Below are his milestones and what I already doing:

Milestone 1: Discover your passion

To become a blogger, firstly we must know what we like to write. Before I’m reading Yaro's guide, I’m struggling to find an idea to post on my blog. After I answer a few of question about what I’m passion with and now I knew what I really wanted to post and share. Below is among of the questions:

• First question that you must ask yourself is what does people say that you’re naturally good at? 
  

And my answer for this question is computer, internet and football.

• Second question is what things, when you do them, you totally lose track of time, and before you know it, a few hours have gone past without you even realizing it? 
  

And my answers are surfing internet, playing computer game, playing football, hacking, and earning money.

• Third question is what kind of topics does you like researching or finding out about more, without being forced to do it? 
  

And my answers are about computers, new technology, internet (Google, Firefox), and others IT stuff.

• Fourth question is what topics can you talk to someone else about for hours on end without getting tired or bored of it? 
  

And my answers are must be computers, internet, technology, football, and others IT thing.

There are actually a lot more question that we must ask our self but this is enough to find what we really love. Average of my answers is about computers and internet. Yup, it’s really what I’m passion with.


Milestone 2: Discover the need

This milestone maybe will be hard for most people because it involves with others. After obtain a deep understanding of Yaro’s information, we certainly need to figure out where we can provide the most value in our area of interest. Is it our interest really able to provide the highest level of value by solving other people’s needs, wants, problems and frustrations?

If yes then you will success. So how we can find the people’s needs, wants, problems and frustrations? In this digital world now this question is easy to be answered. All we need is to enter the forum that related to our interest. So, how can we find the forum according our interest? The answer is, ask google (example: computer forum).

So what I’ve discovered is people want a solution for removing a virus, computer’s tip and tricks, speeding the internet surfing, tweaking windows xp, programming, new and best software, earning money and lot more.


Milestone 3: Test the market

After you find what the people’s needs, wants, problems, and frustrations and now you need to find the answer for it. You must write a good article and should solve the people’s need. After that reply in forum and tell them that you have a solution in your blog for what they need. If this successful, you now can move forward to milestone 4 (focus your effort) and 5 (start making money). I still in testing market process and it am too early for me to go to next milestones. If you not success in testing the market with what you discovered in milestones 2 you must go back to milestone 2 and find what people really need.


If you want to have full Yaro’s guidebook just go to this link. If you don't want to go through sticky step, here is direct link. I also here to suggest you to buy his premium guidebook (even I don’t have one yet).
