I guest blog at Real Tech News and it’s been generally fun even though I don’t get paid. But I definetely got a shock today as my name was posted on the Front page of the website. It’s cool to be noticed and I’m starting on my journey to be a Problogger like Liewcf. Back in March 2005, I did not even know how to add in posts to blogs and my first blog was at Blogger.com. I’ve since moved on to more complex blog platforms like Movabletype over here in PPS and Wordpress. With many sleepless nights in my shift oriented job at a big Oil and Gas company and endless tinkering of my blogs, I’m starting to get a sense of achievement. One last note. My Gadget Blog even hit No.1 on BlogsofTheDay.com this morning together with my personal blog (ThesmsGuide) at No.16 for the Top Sites Section. Thanks to all my visitors…. Ok. That’s it for my self praise blog. I hope I don’t get rotten eggs thrown at me. Make the force be with all Malaysian bloggers. Malaysia boleh ! [...] [...] I wrote this post on PPS Blog earlier.

I just started my first "pro-blog" the other day (an mp3 blog). I've had fairly good traffic so far, but not a lot of revenue. I'm okay with that though, because I plan on doing a couple other blogs, and supplementing with freelance design. I also realize that more traffic will come from more promotion. My main decision in doing it is that I'm a single dad raising my daughter on my own, and it's nice to spend some real time with her. Like you, I don't plan on getting rich from it, but the value I'm getting from the time with my girl is worth far more than what any full-time job could bring. I’m working on the same idea myself.

Currently, the advertisement is the main source. My defination of "problogger" is someone who earn his/her living via blogging, this include reviewing products and services. Currently I do not charge for reviewing products and services, but I get the reviewed product for free. How much can I earn? Well, more than my fulltime job salary. So, I won't have financial problem if I switch to full time blogging(just that less one static income). A problogger can make income by blogging from many revenue sources.

And how much can you really make from blogging day to day news? I don't think the earning per click is that high, right? Could someone who is paid to review products and services and post his/her findings on his/her blog be called a problogger as well? Wouldn't this be a more justifiable description of a "professional" in the sense of the word, that the person actually works to earn his/her keep? As much as I enjoy blogging myself, I doubt that it could be called a profession... especially my unchecked grammar and spelling mistakes are taken into account :) Does a problogger only has to make income through adsense and/or other forms of advertising?
