Is Blogging Dead?

By

I started my success online when I was in my second year in college. Thanks to my teacher who did not just teach me the subjects that he is required to. He also taught me how to start a blog, and start earning from it. 





I remember writing anything before. I wrote book review, movie reviews, poems, songs and even my research (as an education student) was published in there. No one was really interested with my musings, until I saw my teacher using his tricks to get viewers. 

There was once a website before that you can join and belong to a community of bloggers, where you can visit a maximum of 300 blogs per day and in return, they will also visit your site. Well, at least they will click the widget installed on your site, even if they are not actually interested with your writings. Still, this is a good source of visitors before. Google spiders loves websites that has a good number of visitors per day and they will rank your blog posts higher on their search engine, a good way of increasing your traffic. 

Website traffic is also important for sponsors or advertisers. Yeah, as my blog continue to have a lot of visitors per day, even in a non-organic way. I am now able to show off my blog to sponsorships and advertisers who would allow me to post their ads or post a review of their products on my blog for a commission. 

I remember the excitement when I wrote my first ever sponsored review in my blog. It was about a baby stroller. It took me three days to finally finish the article and lots of research as if I am submitting a thesis. I really took it very seriously and that was my first paid blog post. It was $8 for a 300-word article. Those where the early days! 

Fast forward today, we now have Tiktok, Youtube, Facebook, and the likes who allow monetization on your videos. Videos are far more interesting, engaging, and educational compared to blog posts. Well, blog posts have their purpose but I think the world is fast moving towards more engaging contents. You can also earn substantially today being a content creator (as they would say). 

I am not saying that you don't need to have a blog today but it would be more rewarding and effective if you have videos, clips, shorts, or whatever they call it. Even this article will be more interesting if I made a Youtube video about it and show my face, a blog, and some B rolls. 

I don't think Blogging is dead but if you are a writer, you should start moving on and go with the tides of the new media.

Remington Model 700 CDL SF Review and Test

By
Like most firearm companies, Remington burns a lot of midnight oil coming up with ways to convince hunters and shooters they need to buy more than just one of a particular model. Among the enticements are styling changes and limited editions produced only during a specified period of time, a year being typical. It has to be that way in order for most firearms to survive. A Model 700 BDL built in 1962, its first year of production, is still one of my favorite rifles, but had the Model 700 stayed exactly the same and had never been offered in other variations, it might not be with us today. Instead, the same basic rife has been available in about three zillion different styles, variants and calibers, and for that reason, along with the fact it was a good design to begin with, it remains the most successful sporting rife of American design. The Model 700 Classic wearing a stock of true American classical styling appeared during the 1970s and is an example of a subtle change in market...

Weihrauch HW 60 J Thumbhole Review and Tests

By
Specializing in high-quality air rifles, this German maker is less well known for its line of small-game rimfire and centerfire rifles. The latest addition to the range, the HW 60J has a thumbhole stock and is a work of art in walnut and steel.  Weihrauch enjoys a worldwide reputation for accuracy and air rifle quality that’s been carried over to its cartridge rifles. The HW 66 is available in two models, the Production that has an American classic style stock and Jagd-Match with heavy match barrel and especially developed match target stock with high Monte-Carlo buttstock and ventilated fore-end, a model well suited to Olympic Competition. The Jagd Match is available in the same calibers as the HW 66 with the sole exception of the .22 WMR. The HW 60 J is a light, well-designed, nicely balanced small-game rifle featuring a Continental-style walnut stock with hogsback comb, cheekpiece and slender schnabel-tipped fore-end. The barrel is equipped with a folding rear sig...

Weihrauch HW100 KT Laminate Adjustable Review and Test

By
I’ve said it before, and I’ll be saying it again, but Weihrauch always sits back and considers its options, rather than blazing trails and kicking open new doors. Mind you, this world-renowned German company has already changed the entire air-gun game with the launch of the Rekord trigger unit way back in the 1950s, so it could be said that its established stance of ‘evolution not revolution’ came about after it had already done the ‘revolution’ bit. There’s another fact about Weihrauch of which I’ve become personally aware, and that’s the company’s extreme reluctance to reveal any sort of prototype, but I’ve managed to extract one for this test, albeit one that is definitely 95% the finished item. What we have here, is the latest, and I’ll already declare it the greatest, incarnation of the HW100 side lever, multi-shot, pre-charged pneumatic, the HW100KT LA. The full name of this rifle is the HW100 Karbine Thumbhole Laminate Adjustable, and it’s the best part of that name ...
