Call Center Blogs Earn Too

It's time to get a little personal and pay a little tribute to my humble blogs that have done great things for me and my family.

Unknown to many, I have left the call center world for several months now and I have been a full time professional blogger ever since. For several months, my family has been living of the income I earn through my blogs. I still recall and account over $2000 I've earned through blogging since I started and all of it was literally spent for my family's daily needs. Count the rent, utilities, food and everything. I was even able to spend a little for my son's baptismal. And I was the only one working during those times because my better half couldn't. To some it all up, my blogs really got us through rough times in our lives.
That's why I really think blogging can be a real career! For a person who literally knew nothing about blogging 1 year ago, it has been a real investment of time and effort to be where I am right now. Earning through blogging is not as easy as just writing stuff or writing on an online journal but with a little effort and studying (just like any other work) it can really take people to places and realize income that most Filipinos don't even realize they can do.

These days when people ask me what do I do for a living, I'm proud to say that I'm a blogger! A few people I've told got really interested and have asked me more about how I do it. This really makes me happy because in the Philippines, we are a rare breed and I love the idea of doing things not many people are able to do. Yet most people who do ask me what I do for a living get a real confused look on their faces. Most of them don't understand and their minds are just stuck on the stereotypical/traditional way of earning money, working for a company on a 9-5 job or a nightshift call center job for that matter. :D

That's why more than I would want to encourage people to work in call centers or BPO, I would definitely encourage our call center kind to start blogging as a hobby. Then later on, as one improves on blogging, it can definitely earn you some extra money to supplement one's income. Then maybe later on, if one so decides to make a career move, he or she can go at it full time like myself.
I've never been happier and more satisfied in doing what I do than now. I love the freedom and convenience blogging provides me. I'm my own boss. I can work and earn money anytime I want to. I target making at least $20-30 a day through blogging which is achievable for me. I hope someday, more call center people will "put their thoughts to work", blog about the things they love and earn money through blogging as well!
