ABOUT YOUR BLOG
1. How, When and Why did you get into blogging industry?
It was 2008 when my sister introduced to me the word blog. At first, I don’t have idea about blogging until I found out that she’s earning thru blogging. And that keeps me blogging until now.

I consider family as my inspiration in blogging. Most of us live apart from each other; one sister and I are here in England, 2 sisters in Riyadh, 1 in Hawaii and the rest of the family is in Davao. They have their own blogs too, so we are able to exchange topics about life overseas.

Find a new and interesting topic and have a personality in blogging. Always make a post everyday if possible. Make friends with bloggers and don’t hesitate to ask questions because they too started from scratch and learned from other bloggers too.
