Reasons Why Writing a Blog can Boost your Career

I write a blog called TranscriptionHQ.blogspot.com which is “Transcription Blog on Transcription Business, Transcription Jobs and Outsourcing Transcription“. It’s a little over two months old and now has over 45 posts already.

It was my transcription blog.

It allows me to write about my experiences, thoughts, insights on the transcription industry.
As you can see from the posts below, I wanted to help transcribers, transcription business owners and also transcription customers.

I basically want to contribute to the transcription industry. Or, at least that is the idea.

The Un-making of a Copywriter?

Just like some bloggers, I have had this dream of becoming a copywriter. I wanted to become a copywriter mainly for two things - improve my writing and have a more creative career.

My career right now in the transcription industry is good to be fair, but it's not the most creative job for me.

So a few weeks ago, I went for an interview at a content management company hoping to become a copywriter.

However, it was more like the un-making of a copywriter!

Needless to say, I was rejected. I was rejected as I was no graduate.

The funny thing is that I got through all their tests fine.

The only reason I was not given a job was that I had no degree. [Side question to all: Do you need a degree to be able to write?]

Anyway, this episode does not in any way make me give up the dream.

I am now working towards a degree in English.

And, am going to write more often to improve my writing on this and other blogs.

I still believe I am on the right track to becoming a writer.

What do you think?  Is a degree absolutely necessary to become a copywriter/writer?

Why blog when you are a daddy?

Can you believe I have 30+ blogs on Blogger.com and 3 self-hosted WordPress blogs right now!
To be perfectly honest, only 4 are active.

And, I'm a dad to two little girls, aged 4.5 and 1.5 years.

On top of that, I work fulltime as a transcriptionist!

Why blog at all?

Well, I wanted to give the best to my family and myself.

Working for someone else or a company, is not the best in terms of the money you make.  I want to supplement my income with the Adsense money.

Also, blogging improves my writing.  Writing is something I neglected during my school days.  So I want to see how far I can go with it with blogging.

As you might suspect I also blog about transcription hoping someday I could go freelance or even build a business out of it!

I also believe in NOT putting all your eggs in one basket.  I don't want to depend too much on my job.  It is too unstable and unreliable.  These days with global economic downturn and the politics of outsourcing it is only prudent to be ready for anything untoward.

Finally, blogging is fun!  What can I say.  Connecting with other bloggers and readers is something special for me.  Maybe, it's because I am not too good with people face to face!  Having said that blogging helps shed my shyness to a large extent and am now more vocal with my thoughts.  In fact, last night a gave a speech during a house fellowship at home.  And, I was rad, if I should say so myself!


So, that's way.


So, whats your take on being a blogger and a daddy?  Is it a no-no for you?
