Note: This is the one year anniversary post I wrote in the year 2009. I did a minor proofing for this post in 2020.

Some context: Before blogkori, I started with another blog in the blogpost platform called blog-success.blogspot.com and got my start in blogging. Back in the day, I used to post a few articles every day. I started blogkori.com halfway in 2008. Enjoy the trip down memory lane!

Finally, it’s a whole year since I launched blog-success.blogspot.com. In this entire period, I learned lots of things, made lots of mistakes, 90% of plans were failed and the other 10% was a big hit! My greatest memories of 2008 were fantastic. Here is the quick list what I learned in my first year of blogging,

  1. Be serious about blogging -no matter you want to make it as a profession or a hobby.
  2. Put your eggs in many baskets.
  3. Daily writing is good!.
  4. Don’t try to appear on every social platform you can.
  5. Don’t add people randomly: The mistake I did on Facebook, adding friends without even knowing. Now there are at least 200 people in my friend list I don’t even know them.
  6. Build profile one by one: Chose a site, use it and build a great profile. Once you did it, go and use another network. In the end, you will have power user status on many networks.
  7. Reveal yourself as the author: Because people will like to know who is behind the blog.
  8. My first Page Rank: Yes, it’s history. Got PR 3 for blog-success.blogspot.com in March; the credit goes to regular articles.
  9. Networking with your readers and friends really works.
  10. I made money online (If I can make money online, anyone can).
  11. I can blog on blogging (Started BlogKori.com).
  12. Blog on your own domain: Currently all of my blogs are on their own domain.
  13. Help as many people as you can -it costs nothing!
  14. Adsense is not the only way to earn money: Now I have 8+ streams of income source and still trying new sources.
  15. You have to give value before you can bring out something: Learned from Darren Rowse -ProBlogger.net
  16. Readers are better than visitors.
  17. I learned how to make a sticky blog.
  18. Made lots of talented friends and found great blogs.
  19. Don’t just bookmark your own pages (I learned from Stumble Upon).
  20. Building a helpful personal image (Almost).
  21. I started to blog on WordPress (The new BlogKori).

Wrote 500+ text posts, read 1000’s of emails, commented at least 500 times; received 1000’s of comments, personal emails, requests, messages, chat, and tweets.

And finally, Thank you for being with me all the time. If it wasn’t for you, then Tamal Anwar wouldn’t even existed on the internet.

Happy new year!
