Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I am extremely happy while announcing that I am a full time blogger now. Blogging is my passion and it flows inside my nerves from the last 7 months from when I attended Wordcamp and met those incredible bloggers like Amit Agrawal, Om Malik and top bloggers from India and the maker of Wordpress Matt Mullenweg and experienced the power of blogging. That day I decided that I will become a professional blogger one day. And now I am a professional blogger.

A small introduction: Hi friends I am Himanshu Yadav, a B.Tech graduate and a full time professional blogger from New Delhi, India. I love to write on latest technology, Web 2.0, internet tips and tricks, new ventures, internet happenings, blogging, blogging tips and how to make money online. Apart from my full time blogging I am a freelance writer also.

My Journey

I started Blogging in the month of February 2009 and learn lots of things about Wordpress, blogging, technology, social networking, Web2.0, web designing and how to make money online. The decision of coming into professional blogging field was very tough for me and it took almost 6 months to decide myself to resign from my day job (I was working in a telecom company). Though I was always firmed of leaving my job because:

1) The job I was doing was not belongs to my interest.

2) I was doing a kick ass hard work for blogging after my day job (I never concentrate on both the works).

3) Health related issues

But there were certain words from my friends and family that stopped me always to become a full time blogger.

I want to thank all my friends especially Honey Singh, Harsh Agrawal, Vivek Yadav, Pawan, Ashish for always guiding and helping me whenever I need them and also I want to give a special thanks to my senior Gaurav Mishra whose words inspired and motivated me to leave my job to achieve my dreams. Right now I am working on my two projects Blogtechnika and Helloicy. Blogtechnika is a two months old and Helloicy is completely a new and growing venture. The source of money from my blogs is very low though I earn some decent amount of money by my Freelance writing service.

Note It was always advisable by friends and family that not to leave a job until you should earn the money as comparable to your job. I am happy that I achieved that much level of income from my service and left my job.

It is advisable to all of you that never give up your job before you’ll get a sufficient amount of money back up so that you could survive of your own. Blogging teaches new goals to achieve. Try to “make money online” your first goal.

My Aims of blogging

I want to make Blogtechnika a brand name so that anyone could recognize me from my brand name. Also I want to earn lots of money and online reputation such that I can fulfil the dreams of my parents and friends. I want to give quality articles to my reader so that they can easily distinguish my blog in the crowd of blogosphere. I want to make a community of more than 1000 people on which I can rely upon ever.

I want to spread blogging awareness all over India through certain programs in school and colleges so that everyone could know the benefit of blogging, it advantages and making money online.

At last I want to tell you that you need to go for my article before leaving your work for blogging because blogging doesn’t always brighten your dreams. It requires ultimate hard work, dedication, some sort of compromise from social life, health issues. So think twice before heading yourself for professional blogging.

I need wishes

Yes, I need wishes from my entire fellow bloggers and my friend so that I can achieve targets I set up for myself. I promise all my readers that I will deliver quality content to all the readers of my blog.
