September 9th, 2008 is the 3rd anniversary of my full-time blogging since 2005.

Wow! 3 years have passed! I still remember the last day of my previous job. Coincidentally, I just met my ex-manager 2 days ago! And, an ex colleague’s boyfriend added me as friend on Flickr.

In the past year, LiewCF.com has the 1st 3,000th feed subscriber, published the 3,000th blog post, and accepted in 9rules Network.

For myself, nothing much have changed since the 2nd anniversary, I am still single and available, and have not bought a car nor a house.

Oh! I gave my first public talk at the Webmaster Malaysia Gathering.

Frankly speaking, I am not a very ambitions guy who has big dreams. I am very much satisfied with my current life (that I forgot to make a birthday wish) and income.

But we need to prepare the worst, therefore I must have a Plan B. I am thinking how I can be more helpful to other people and what I can do about it using my skills. What do you think?

After being quiet for a very…very… long time on my blog, I quietly attended the 3rd Webmaster Malaysia Gathering held at The Apartment,The Curve. It was fully sponsored by Exabytes.

I attended the same gathering last year. This time, I was invited to give a talk. My 1st public talk. (Thank you, Lim CS)

My presentation is about myself, a pro-blogger. How did I get started as a fulltime blogger and shared some blogging tips. It was a short talk that took around 15 mins only.

Here is the slides I used in my presentation (created by Google Docs):

I am a fulltime blogger but I was away for a long time and didn’t update my blog at all. Did it affect my online revenue? Not really. In fact, I am still getting the same amount of money while I am doing nothing. Dream job, right?

The above is part of the line chart of my AdSense earning for the days while I was away(6th - 27th Feb). The total earning for each day might look vary a lot, but the average earning is same as the normal days.

How about the site traffic? Just like the AdSense earning, there is not much different on site traffic while I was away. The site is still getting same amount of pageviews even I was not blogging.

The above graph is generated by Google Analytics for LiewCF.com during the away period. As you see, It is a stable straight line throughout the days.

No update, but still getting the same traffic and money. Isn’t it great?

This is my 2nd anniversary of full-time blogging blog post series which I share with you about the insights of a Malaysian full-time blogger:

• Second anniversary of full-time blogging (this post)
• Blogging workspace of LiewCF
• Workspaces of LiewCF’s Readers

Yesterday, 9 September 2007, marked my second year of full-time blogging since 2005. Oh yes, I am still surviving! My life has not much changes since my 1st year of full-time blogging. Instead of blogging, let’s talk about something personal.

I got a little tummy. I am 180cm tall and weight 86KG. A little overweight. 80KG should be ideal. I am looking for a strong reason to push me. “Why should I lose weight, as long as I am healthy?”

I am still single and looking for another half to complete my life. Two of my ex-girlfriends already married this year. *gosh* I have forgot how many years I have been single since last break up. More and more friends are getting married soon. I wonder when is my turn? Where is “she”?

I have more money. Thanks for the increasing revenues, my bank books have very beautiful transactions records. Even the bank manager recognizes me, “This guy make money online!”. My monthly expenses is a little. I put the rest of money in bank and mutual funds. Soon, I will invest in stock market.

September 9th, 2006 was my first full-time blogging anniversary. It has been a year since I left my last job and become a full-time blogger (a.k.a problogger).

I am the first Malaysian full-time blogger. I am glad that I could survive for a year by blogging alone. It was not easy but I did it!

Now, I think I made the right decision to resign. I am earning few times more than my previous job and, at the same time, I have more free time for my family. The latter is more important.

What’s next?

I am trying to duplicate my success. It is not easy to create a successful website, and it is harder to duplicate the success to other websites. Also, I try to help my friends earn money from blogging, or even become another full-time blogger.

If I succeed in both, maybe I can give some talks to the public?

Currently, I don’t accept any request to teach “how to make money online” because I don’t think I am qualified yet (Hopefully, very soon).
