My Blogging Experience!

Note : In any part of this post if you find it boring you can leave! :D

I am a blogger. I have a blog about books named "eBooks".. Honestly speaking , my  intention was to earn some money with a little effort. I was planning about it six months before I started.. I researched a lot, which topic should I choose, how to get traffic, in which country people are totally dependent on internet,how adsense could be added to blog, which people will click more on my page and my ads, where should I share my posts, which platform should I use Google, wordpress, weebly or anyother (I remember, I made a list of 16 different websites).
Then I choosed "Books" . I thought it could be the best source of income for me because  a huge number of people are still interested in books and looking for more and more books on internet. So I thought my blog would have a good traffic. But as I do not consider myself worthy to write reviews on books. So I started hiring writers. I searched on internet the most famous novels and books and then made a list and then I gave them one by one to write reviews. But the traffic response was not good. 
Because these were those books about which millions of peoples have written million times and now new people are not interested in those old famous novels. Then I got a lesson, I have to share something new..!
Then I started posting book news , meanwhile I joined different communities and websites of book reader and writers. Then I started posting me links on those site , but still the same response : no response. Then suddenly I posted : "I am a blogger and looking for authors who want me to share about their books" . And the response of the people was this: "Oh Thanks God! This is the post we were looking for." I happily accepted their material and posted the same line on other forums and websites. 
With in three to four days I had a long list of the content from writers which I have to post but don't have time. That was the condition when I was thinking "why I posted on all(3 to 4) websites in two days" . Then I started writing emails to the authors of books "Sorry for the inconvenience you are in queue, I will post about your book soon. "
But I was happy, very happy not because I started making money(I don't have earned a single dollar yet :D ).  I was happy because people actually started liking my blog , my posts. Awesome feedback from writers , they started recommending my blog to their friends,  they shared it on their blogs and everywhere. They sent me kind wishes for my blog and I felt that I am flying in the air. And my blog traffic boosted to 170 views per day with no effort . With no effort I mean , without sharing it on social media websites like facebook,twitter,stumbleupon and etc... And it all happened in one and half week. The age of my blog is one month and seven days :D . I spent, I am still spending my days and nights on my blog.
I unintentionally started to work for others , Now I can feel the joy of working for others. Yes, I remember that I am working for money but most of the time I forgot to add adsenses to my posts :D
Now I have many guest posts, book reviews, book news, Authors bio, author interviews and many other things. And still welcoming many new authors.
I am determined, I am sure that my blog is going to rock! 
I welcome those people to my blog ,who have red this whole article :D                                                           Ebooks
