How Indiblogger Impacted my Life

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.

This blog post is inspired by the blogging marathon hosted on IndiBlogger for the launch of the #Fantastico Zica from Tata Motors. You can apply for a test drive of the hatchback Zica today.
