Is There A Ghost In My House?

I mentioned previously in this blog that I haven't been writing as much original content lately. With this blog I've been sharing various things that I've discovered and that I have been thinking about. I've also been reading about how to promote a blog, how to get followers, and how to make money blogging. While I don't really mind if I make money from this blog, it's just a way for me to express myself and hopefully get other people excited about many of the things I enjoy, I would eventually like to get paid for things I've written. I've been posting a lot of links to "self help" and inspirational articles and blogs that I liked, and I've noticed that they seem to generate a lot of traffic. I've struggled with the idea of what sort of commercial blog I might like to write and what might generate some income for me. I read that the most popular commercial blogs offer their readers the opportunity to learn something, and that you need to have lively, and original content. I didn't think for a while that I had anything like that to offer, or that I would be able to write something like that and stay excited about it. After posting those links it kinda came to me. I could create an inspirational or self-help type blog!

I've spent many years going to therapy, and I've read a whole shit ton of of self help and inspirational books. Not only have I done those things I've also improvised and created numerous strategies, both on my own and with assistance, for navigating life and I believe that I could successfully share those strategies in a manner that I could get excited about while hopefully creating an audience and generate a small income. My girlfriend suggested that I could specifically write about when to know to seek help for depression and other mental issues. I'm pretty excited about the potential of this idea. I really doubt that I could make enough money off of this potential blog to support myself, but I think it's something I could really make interesting, fun, and informative.

On a similar note, I've also been working hard at promoting my blogs online using social media, and I've joined and begun participating in several blog promotion sites. I realized that while this is fun, and hopefully is a good way to get involved, I also know that I need to narrow my focus to a small handful of these sites, and get back to the task of writing. I'm also contemplating a name change for the blog, and I'm open to suggestions from anyone who reads my stuff. If you have a good idea please email me or comment on the blog and share it with me!
