Why am I my blogging?
In one my earlier post, I discussed about questions that I receive and try to answer each one of them with sincere efforts. I have discussed questions related to my time management. In today’s post, I will discuss about questions related to “Why I am blogging?” I have attempted to group them as much as possible.
What’s your interest in sharing all these information? I am asking because I want to know whether you will also ask for subscription after sometime.
As the slogan of my blog goes; it is my journey to build and sustain an income portfolio. I am using online blog method to document my journey. In the process, I hope (a) to continue my learning process; (b) to continue to monitor my progress; (c) to make friends who are interested in learning about long term investing; (d) to share our winners; and (e) to share our losing strategies so that we do not make similar mistakes.
I am in no way an expert in investing. However, I do believe that I am patience, analytical, and capable of taking my own investing decisions. I am willing to accept my mistakes. I am willing to learn from others.
We see that you have closed your “my portfolio” section. It is now password protection. Does this mean you are planning for subscription based service?
I had temporarily closed. It is now open. I have modified it to reduce exposure to my personal details. I do not have plans for subscriptions. It is free for readers of this blog.
Would you like to write for our financial portal on stock analysis? We are willing to pay small token amount. The benefit for you is more exposure for your work.
We would like to buy all your stock analysis for a fixed paid price paid upfront? The only condition is then you cannot publish on your blog. You may publish a small summary but no charts and no data.
Would you like to work for us part time analyzing stocks? Our requirement is analyzing five stocks a week.
At this point in time, I do not have any plans or I do not intend to sell my stock analysis. I do not want folks to buy from me and sell at higher cost, taking commission for doing nothing. In addition, all the stock analysis that I discuss on this blog is oriented to my investment objectives and my risk profile. They may not be applicable to every type of investor. Certainly they are not suitable for short-to-medium investing horizon and trading strategies. They will always be available here for everybody’s reference.
Everything that I write or discuss on this blog is my copyrighted material. You are free to use it for your personal or educational purpose. However, any public use requires my prior approval. Any unauthorized public display of any stock analysis will be reported to Google as duplicate material. If you want to post it on your site, you may do it (after my permission) only if you are willing to write a first line that attributes it to this blog. Please contact me, and I will give you permission and example of how to attribute it to this blog.
Your investment philosophy is about long term investing. Why do you participate on MoneyVidya stock picking site. It is for stock pickers and traders. Why do you associate yourself as core blogger with MoneyVidya.com site.
I must admit this question was a bummer to me. So far, I have received a total of three questions on this subject. I have requested all three folks to hold on. I will write a post on this topic. At this point, I only have a high level objective. I will explain my rationale so that it is not misinterpreted.
What would be your suggestion for a new person who wants to start blogging? Can you share your experience on blogging?
Very simple answer is, just start blogging. Google’s blogger platform is the simples and easiest way to start a blog. But I guess, folks who asked these questions were not looking for the technical aspect of how start a blog. They are probably looking for topic selection, idea generations, writing, frequency, how to get traffic, etc. Each of these issues is blog topic in itself. Blogging is an evolution; it is a process, which starts from an introductory post. It is never ending; it is limited by your hard work and imagination. I will wait and see it there is more interest on this topic. If there is interest, then I will write some focused set of short posts on my experience. Continue to leave messages, or email me so that I know there is interest.
In one of the future post, I will discuss the third set of questions which relation to my stock holding and my portfolio management. Meanwhile, keep your questions, suggestions, and recommendations flowing. They are all interesting and I enjoy reading them.

I wold like to know, how much effort and time it takes to write and maintain a blog. one motivation for me would be earn few extra money on side. everybody tells me it is very easy
i recently came across your blog. i find it very imformative. i would like to add my vote of blogging information. my interest is in learning about, realistic issues, one need to be aware when starting to blog. i start but then gave up due to no visitors. my experience has been, all the website that claim blogging is easy, is purely misguided, and make false claim. It is not easy to get traffic.
I would like to know your prespective about setting realistic expectation, and what goes into getting traffic. I do not mean the standard cliche about SEO, social media, going and commenting on other blogs, etc. Those do not work.
Thanks in advance for your any upcoming article on this subject.

Hello,
I have started writing little bit about blogging. See my first post at http://www.millionclues.com/guest-posts/beginners-guide-before-starting-a-blog
Best Wishes,
Interesting!. I loved the way you kept the flow of ideas. There’s a very good writer in you. All the best with the blogging.
Would be looking for informative posts from your side…
Hello Rohit.
Thanks for your comment. What would you mean my informative post? what topics?
Best Wishes,
I read your post on blogging at million clues, and then came here. You have a very interesting perspective on value and dividends. I do not use that method as I believe you need to keep rotating your money to increase. if buy and hold than it can become negative at any time.
Hello Investor Shakuni,
If the company is good and continues to generate cash, profits, and grows it, then becoming negative is a great opportunity. If you think rotating gives positive results consistently over time, then nothing wrong in it. The issues is ability to do it right again and again and again, plus you need to give more time.
Best Wishes,
