Hey there ,Imran here.Its been exactly two years I entered into Blogosphere ,so just thought to share my journey with you people.In this post I will be sharing more about myself than blogging ,so just bare with me..
If you don't know I am an Engineering Student and a part time Blogger.Currently I am studying 4th year of my Engineering which gonna finish soon ,Yeah :D !
Though I am a Mechanical Engineering Student I got attracted towards computers,that doesn't mean that I am not interested in Mechanical field.I always try to learn new things and I love Technology no matter whether its related to Mechanics, Biology, Chemistry what not...I always like to learn things which practically work.That means things that can be implemented in the real world.
Till my Intermediate(+2) I used to focus more on my academics and aggregate.I used to do good with them and was always in the Top list in my academics.But I was not at all satisfied with that.I see many people of my age inventing some new things,discovering something new who are no more than me(us) in any way.I mean people at very small age accomplish some great things.I always wanted to do something new like that.
Then I started thinking what could be the difference between them and me?
Before I got into blogging I was very much attracted towards literature and would have made it as my career if I was not into Blogging/Internet Marketing.
This is just the beginning still a lot more to accomplish.If you want to ask anything do let me know in your comments.

Then I found that the only difference is that the people who do something extraordinary and us is that they believe in themselves. They really don't care what the society, family and friends gonna think of them.They know what they are going to accomplish.Most of us afraid to take action.Honestly most of us don't have guts to try out something new though we have a vision that we can do it.And this is the kind of attitude which I tried to implement in myself later on.

How it all Started?
When I stepped up into my Engineering I was not with the same mindset which I used to be before .That means I was not aiming for a good aggregate in my academics.The motto with which I entered into Engineering is to accomplish something that can satisfy me.
Then I started doing intense research on Mechanical related stuff.To do some advanced research I used to take help of Internet for which I had to go to Internet Cafe as I didn't have a PC at my home.Then I realized the potential of computers and internet.Internet is such a great thing ,you can solve most of your issues and find a good answer to almost all your questions.This thing has drawn my attention completely.
At the end of my Engineering first year my mom bought me a Personal Computer.Then,it all started.It started with doing research on things related to academics.I was very shy kind of person and always wanted to get out of it.I thought that being socially awkward can harm my growth in many aspects.So I started developing some unique skills like Magic ,Mind Reading to get more connected with people and try to get rid of social barriers.This helped me to get connected with people more and more.Now I feel very very comfortable to communicate with strangers and socialise with people easily.
You don't believe me but wherever I go today I initiate the conversation and always ready to speak out at any event.That level of extrovert I am today. Haha :)
To learn all these the main resource was the Internet.Then I was addicted to hacking,programming,web designing.I joined few Facebook groups and started helping various people over there and solve their problem related to computers/Internet.I got lots of appreciation from various people for helping them solving their issues online.
Then, I thought that I can make use of my computer knowledge to make money online and solve all my financial issues.That's how I got started with Blogging.

Why I choose Blogging?
Whenever I try something new I will look into 3 aspects.
- Knowledge/Skill
- Fame
- Money.
Blogging is all about learning new things and testing out what works.In this process you will be exposed to various aspects and you can develop a lot of skills.I also need some fame for the work I do ,so I thought I can get some fame via blogging.Money is always a by-product.Though we need to earn money to keep the business up I never did anything just for the sake of money.But yes money is always a primary factor which motivates to come up with some new things.
How much time did it take to make money online?
I started a blog with hacking/cracking and illegal download related stuff which stopped me from making money online as these blogs are very difficult to monetize.
Then after realising my mistake I removed all the illegal content from my blog and moved to a custom domain .After that I started making some money online.It almost took 6 months to earn something from the blog.
My first earning was from mginger which was Rs 300/-($6 approx) check.Then Infolinks sent me a check of $50(Around Rs 2500/-). Then a lot of direct advertisers attracted towards my blog and I started earning some decent money by the end of 1 year.
How much money do I make online now?
Now I make a four figure income online ($XXXX/month).Cannot reveal the exact figure for now but will reveal it soon.With blogging I was able to buy a new car and a brand new flat.
How many Blogs do I manage?
Now I manage over 20+ blogs on different niche.I go on creating new blogs for niche blogging and affiliate marketing.On average I create 1-2 blogs per week.
What are the primary sources of my income?
My primary sources of income are my clients and direct advertisers.I offer SEO services to my clients from which I generate most of the income.
>What it takes to make money online?
Its not that easy to make money online and at the same time not impossible as well.All it takes is some time,patience and practise with proper skill set.
My future Plans:
I am planning to start a firm of my own related to SEO services and Internet Marketing.I am also planning something for newbie bloggers who are interested to get started with blogging.Will get back to you with more details soon.
Advice to new Bloggers:
- Keep on improving your skills day by day.Don't just stick at one thing.Master Affiliate Marketing ,Niche Blogging ,SEO ,Programming ,Web Designing etc.
- Take proper guidance if you are not clear at something.
- Respect copyrights and produce fresh content.
- Do something new to out stand the competition like making Info graphics,Videos ,Presentations etc.
- When coming to making money don't just stick to Adsense unless and until you become a Premium Adsense Publisher.Once you become a Premium publisher then you can simply ignore everything and live a life with Adsense but before that you should always have alternatives ready with you.
- If you strongly believe that you can do something then just go ahead .There are many people out there to discourage you.But one day when you succeed the same people will start asking how you did it..Time is going to tell the truth.
This is just the beginning still a lot more to accomplish.If you want to ask anything do let me know in your comments.
