Finally write again for Reva . I'm sure nobody has missed you. This blog takes too long, it's not taken care of, and I leave it alone. Like water, he looks for his own way. At most, it will become a pit.
Yup Im Back.
But I returned with one big question. What exactly is the culmination of a blogger's career ?. Maybe there are those who judge, I feel resigned. Is Reva as bad as that until the cynical question arises. Yes, yes or no. Depends on how you look at it.
So, here it is. Since Reva I made (still in the form of blogspot) 4 years 284 days ago. Precisely February 22, 2014 ago. 346 postings have been created. 347 with what you are reading right now.
Throughout the Reva trip there was a time I was really down. Not able to write and do much. Besides the costs that keep coming out. For coffee and wifi in cafes. Up to paying the domain every year. If counted the amount is indeed not much. But keep pressing the bag.
There are also times when I'm very happy. When someone came and commented then we discussed at length. I feel needed. What I write benefits. At least it becomes the material for people's discourse.
In total, there are 917 comments that I posted on this blog. Many also I ended up throwing away in spam. An average of 2,000 pageviews are created per day. With total all time Pageviews based on reports on the dashboard 4,506,495 times. Remember, this is today's position.
When you peek at Google Analytics reports, the number of page views over time is not much different. But users or visitors who have stopped at Reva reached 1,981,885 people. With an average duration they read the posts for 1 minute 49 seconds. The bounce rate did not disappoint very much, entrenched at 68.77%.
The data can lie. But lying is not useful. Because if you have to compare with other blogs, Reva achievements are still lacking. Still in the beginner blog category.
But if asked, am I proud. Of course you are proud. But not necessarily I'm satisfied. If you look carefully at the data above, it will be very visible if 2017 is the year of Reva . Suppose that success is judged by traffic, then that year was brilliant. Because indeed I hang out.
2018 is like suspended animation. Because committing that turned out to be really difficult. Maybe that also makes a lot of people continue to sing.
Actually, I always want to go back here. Write a lot. Sharing experiences. Sharing knowledge. Give direction and as-so. In fact, soFull time blogger is not easy. As a result I have to take a job elsewhere.
Spending time in the world of work and blogging is difficult difficult. Although in fact the job that I took also still has something to do with the internet. But what often keeps me from writing here is the hijackers. They continue to roam around and have no mercy. They are like chewing gum that once sticks to the hair with a hard loss.
But so be it. Itung-itung alms of knowledge to them. Even if finally the article taken from here is more popular it is good for him. My message is only one, don't forget to give alms.
Besides the hijackers who were no less bothering me, it was a matter of income. I'm not like most bloggers who can easily raise blogs. First had time to try. Apparently difficult. Making works is not easy. For this one post I spent more than an hour.
Maybe receiving lots of ads is the solution. Indeed the offer came from many regions. With a tantalizing offer. But the content they submitted didn't please me. Many are strange. A magnifying site whatever, to a money machine that is said to be able to enrich in a minute.
Dude It's not easy to make money.
I have been blogging since 2005 and haven't been rich until now. I do not know how many money machines are said to be able to enrich in a short time. In fact, that's just gibberish. If you don't work hard and are smart, high mountains won't climb.
For this reason, it was inspired that I wrote this. Questioning, the culmination of a career as a blogger. Is money can be a measure of the success of a blogger. Or there is another form of career peak.
Why I ask that, because the average popular posts on Reva always have to do with money. I thought for a long time, justify this blog is just a field to make money. It's no longer to share knowledge or experience.
Or it is already that bad our minds when building a blog. What was created was how to make money. Not how to create work that educates and helps solve many people's problems.
Because if so, I will be more difficult to answer the peak question of a blogger's career. The edges must be income, but experience should be prioritized. If many bloggers end up being great writers, speakers here and there or even become experts in their fields, that is truly extraordinary.
But for me all those questions are still lacking. Where will Reva go?
I once wrote about the potential of blogs that we created 10 years later. That was last 2016. At that time I considered it an investment in the future. It could be very high value when the time comes. But everything in the future is still a mystery.
I might change a lot about content on this blog. Don't let go of the old face about blogging. But a little experimenting with other content. About anything. 2019 will come soon. We met at that time.
Back to the original question, I'm sure everyone has their own answers. There is no definite career path for bloggers. But of course achievements can vary. If you want to hear my advice, "bloggers are not shortcuts, just live if you see goodness there." So.
