Blogging is famous these days. Everyone who have access to internet have their own blog. They run for various purposes, some of them run for the sake of letting their people know about them, some are doing just to share some of their inner feelings in the world wide web. Today, we are going to meet with one of the blogger who started his blogging career in a very different way. He is Anil Prasad Ghimire who is better known as “Aakar” in online medium. His blogs: “aakarpost” is famous mostly in Nepal. According to recent data published in web his blog is among the 150 other blogs which is visited daily. He has a visitor of almost 25 hundred daily.
When asked about his the beginning of his blogging he said he began blogging to share his assignments online. It has not been that long that he got started with. He says 4 years is not a very long time. According to him, blogging is place where you can write your point of view without going through any form of gate keeping. He is a undergraduate student in computer engineering, and still thinks anyone can be a blogger. It just needs a continuous posting and updates. Anyone with general access and knowledge of internet and website can be a good blogger.
Money is not the primary factor in blogging says 25 year old Anil when asked about money being the factor of problem in blogging or not ? Blogging is for free and it can be done with in a minute if anyone has a keen interest in it. If you are going to host yourself and want to take blogging in a professional way then small amount of money would be preferable.
When talked about his readers, he confesses that it all started with just 4 reader a day and it has been 4 years and now he has almost arounf 25 hundred visitors all around Nepal and outside as well. Social media like facebook, twitter and now Goolge plus helps his articles to get publicized. After he finishes posting in his website he share its link using this platform. He says these kind of new media help in promoting my blogs and I feel lucky to have one.
When we asked him “What did you get after blogging for so long time?” he comes up with a simple answer like “Identity”. It is though simple but has a heavy meaning. People from various fields know him around the globe. Along with that he get to know people so much. Every day he comes across new faces and new reader to tackle. Many times he has fought with his readers online as he could not make clear his point of view.
He is very positive about his site and blogging because he says it’s the way how people will get informed in later days.
Mainstream media have a lot of ethical issues and gatekeeping which a blog completely gives freedom of. So citizen journalism is what is he talking about with less point of editing your thoughts and more of giving what we feel from inside. Aakar is now famous world wide and he wants people to get engaged in something like that. To end his thought he said anything you do, put your hundred percent effort in it otherwise you will not get what you dreamed about. Blogging is a very unique yet strong field you need to think wise, write well and post it daily. Then blogs can also be your way to earn money.
