Well I’m not a professional blogger, meaning, I don’t blog for a living, but I have a create a blog in order to promote a small business. Still I don’t intend to work only in my geographical aera, I have planned to look around and see what the world is doing and inspired myself to adapt things to my work, skills and goals.

I have found this interesting article Top 5 Tips for Professional Bloggers by Susan Gunelius in About.com Guide with this attractive subtitle The Keys to Achieving Success as a Professional Blogger. As usual, when I read such an article, I try to put it in my reality and ask myself the questions about the real points meaning the five tips. And that what I did.

Did I specialize myself ? yes I do, it clear by the title of the blog and the menu navigation, and also I’m still worlking on the website in order to harmonize my professional proposal.

Do I have Diversity Income Sources? well, I can answer yes. I’m curious and I always read differents paper, blogs, national, international, in order to cross the informations and sources. It’s a work that never stops.

Do I Provide Original Content ? Well yes, not all the blog is original, since I propose quotes and videos, but most of the content is original.

Did I Plan Ahead ? Yes I do, that the reason why, I’m still working on my website, in order to gain time after when the business will really start. If everything is done good now, then I’ll be able to be available and working quietly for the clients and also take some time off when necessary.

Do I Undervalue myself ? Absolutely not. it’s one of the reason why, I take my time to have a professional website, it’s more conveniente to be pay adequately as a professional when you act like one. I know my value and I intend to be for it and to have a win/win contract.

Well, thanks to the Susan Gunelius article, I ask myself questions about what to do and what I’ve done already. You should really read it too, just follow the link.
