I am a member of Indiblogger
from last 2 years. These two years have totally changed me as a person.
As I have interest in cooking, one day I just thought of
starting a blog, where I will be able to share my recipes to the world. Also
being from a technical background I wanted to experience how this blogging
works. So after starting my blog, I just searched on google the websites where
I can publicize my blog to get more traffic. And then I came across
Indiblogger.
Initially I was not aware what Indiblogger is. I just thought
it as a community where people share their blogs which helps them in getting
traffic for their blog. So I too applied for the blog to get added and after
few days I got a confirmation that my blog is approved.
I have never been I writer all my life. Actually I never
thought that I could even write any article or share my thoughts and that too
to entire world. But then I came across various contest running on indiblogger
as a part of promotional programs. Few of them had an assured prize for every
article. So in the view of getting a prize I started writing articles. I will
not say that I wrote very good articles but they were not that bad also. I
received the flipkart vouchers for few of them. As I started participating more
and more, I started gaining confidence that yes I too can write, share my views
and be creative. Indiblogger gave birth to a writer hidden within me.
Blogging has made a huge impact on my life. I have become
very expressive, am able to share my thoughts very easily. There are so many
things about which I cannot speak to people, but am able to vent it out on a
blank word document. This impact has changed me as a person too.
Earlier I use to think that people blog only for money. But
after being part of Indiblogger family and getting to know so many fellow
bloggers, I understood that blogging is completely a different experience.
Blogging not only impacts the life of the person who is sharing his thought,
but it also impacts the readers who are reading it. The thoughts shared by the
blogger motivates the readers and help them to relate to the situations. I feel
very good when I get positive comments on my recipes, or the thoughts that I
have shared on my blog.
And then came the Indi Marathon. I never thought I could
participate in something like this. But then I thought of at least giving a
try. This marathon has truly made a huge impact on my writing and thinking
skills. First time in my life I am proud to have written such good articles in
short amount of time which are also being appreciated by my readers.
Truly Indiblogger, you have made a huge impact on my life.
It is only because of you, that I was able to discover a completely new person
hidden within me.
