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.
