Welcome to my blog series that looks at video game blogging. Whilst this is a little ‘Inception-like’, it is something I have experience with as I have tried and tested various methods, techniques and supposed short-cuts to success. Where I have failed, I have learned and all that lovely knowledge is ready to be shared with you.
Why Blog
First off, let’s start on planet realism and work our way up.
Blogging will not make you a millionaire, it will not make you a star and it does not make you a journalist. Blogging is sticking a flag in your own little corner of the internet and saying ‘this is me, my love, my passion, my stress and my life’. Blogging is a fantastic outlet for voicing your thoughts, opinions and stress. A place where you can share your passions, creations and hobbies and after some time, effort, money, promotional, blood, sweat and tears you might find yourself with a following, an audience or even customer base.
In this series, I am sharing with you a myriad of hints, tips and stories about my blogging exploits, in order to give you the insights that I wish I had back when I was starting out.
