What Are Your Interests?

Blog Your Interests

Do you have an interest in anything you want to share with others? Are you learning something new that you want to document? Are you excited about this new interest and want to keep the thrill alive?

This year I got interested in coin collecting? How? Well I had promised someone for two years I would learn more about coin collecting so I could help her sell her coins. I knew that she could just take them to a dealer but I also knew that it helps if you know a little before you go. Why? Because not all dealers are the same. I did not want her to take a rare coin to a shop and have someone devalue it.

Well, to make a long story short,  I started reading books on  coin collecting. Then I found a dealer who actually  started to teach me about coin collecting. ( I have spoken to several dealers but he has been the best and most patient.) This baby boomer is  hooked. I am more hooked on error coins.For me the idea of finding one is better than the lottery.

Now, what did I do? You guessed it. I started a blog on coin collecting. Now, I did not position myself as an expert but someone who is learning about coin collecting and wanted to  share with others as I learn.You can view a post I just made tonight on error coins on this site called Baby Boomer Pocket Change.

So what does this mean for you? You can start now to reflect on an interest that you have. What are you reading? What are you learning?What are your learning goals?

Tip#1 If you are reading books on your topics you can share information about those books as an affiliate link in your blog!

Tip#2  If you want to create an ebook or special report you can after several posts by clearing defining your categories and create a pdf document from your posts.

Tip #3 If you are in any social network you can join groups related to your blog interest and send traffic to your site.

So after you read this please reflect on your interests.  Remember the more you are learning about that area of interest the more blogging you will do that will reinforce what you learn. Who knows, you just might become an expert.

Blogging Directories-Pt.8-Blogged.com

Blogged is a directory that will allow you to submit your blog in less than 3 minutes. Thats right I submitted two blogs in under 5 minutes without signing up. Now, of course you can sign up, which I will do later and become a member. But if you just want to get your site listed you can submit your blog right away.

Now, I strongly suggest that you register so you can take advantage of other features of this easy to use directory. Also, study the extensive listing of categories. When you submit your blog url you can list it in two catergories.

Hope to see you there.
