Being a blogger is nothing weird this day in fact it may become strange when people ask you whether you blog and you say "no". I wrote this as in response to the entry by Brother Hasrul Hassan. You may read the said entry here.
Bro HH wrote as follow:
And he later he said everything must start from scratch. You may not be able to have your own domain and/or hosting if you didn't start with the most basic thing and I'm totally agree with that. Just to make some addition to HH's view, I am of the opinion until this day that is no clear definition of "serious blogger". Does it mean that your capability to make a lot of money via your blog is a serious blogger? I oppose this because there are bloggers who cheat in order to gain traffic and make money. By cheating doesn't give you a serious blogger title.
But the frequency of your entries may reflect that you're serious bloggers provided the entry is not merely copy and paste. Your capability to share information and in the same time sharing yours views could be some factors that you're serious bloggers. Therefore I disagree with those who say having paid domain or own hosting are key factors to indicate who's serious blogger.

Ada kawan HH berkata, setakat buat blog guna hosting percuma ..... itu bukan blogger, itu cuma penulis diari biasa .... macam tulis status kat FB atau MySpace je ...cuma tulisan dan luahan boleh berjela-jela...itu je.
Kata merekalah. Iyelah, siapa tak tahu akan kehebatan blog yang guna platform wordpress, memang terkenal dengan penangan SEO (Search Engine Optimization), sekali posting akan dapat ratusan trafik jika kena gaya.

agreed. the real blogger is when the blogger able to share base on his opinion without copy paste.
ReplyDeleteDon't get trapped in the "if you are not on self hosted WordPress, you're not serious" thing. They usually want to sell you something -hosting, theme, plugin etc...and they are serious about that :)
ReplyDeleteHmm, I personally tak pernah consider myself as a serious blogger, good blogger or whatever tittle sekalipun. But I totally agree that a good blogger is the one that create good entries in his/her blog plus good information, share their experience with their readers and share his/her opinions about certain topics.
ReplyDeleteTapi kalau nak cakap blogger yang bagus mesti mempunyai domain sendiri hmmm tak kot. Sebab most of good bloggers nowdays, they start from free domain macam blogspot and wordpress. Then bila diorang dah ada nama yang kukuh barulah they start with their own branding. Besides that, ada ramai lagi blogger yang bagus tapi still lagi stick dengan blogspot and wordpress. Tapi mungkin betul jugak apa yang brother HH tu cakap, you must start from stratch barulah kita boleh tahu.
Sekarang memang susah nak definasikan secara tepat Serious Blogger or even tittle apa sekalipun. Semua orang ada minat masing-masing. Nice entry :)
