Blogging with Purpose: Building Your Digital Footprint

People always ask;

Mary, how did you get on the first page of Google search when someone searches for “Mary Job”?

I always tell them the same thing I will tell you today. The journey to the first page of Google search started with “keeping a blog“. See; maryjob.WordPress.com

How? You may wonder! Think about these questions for a few minutes…

• Where have you been all these while?
• What have you been doing?
• Why have you not been talking or documenting your journey from the very first adult stage of your life? And by that I mean, from high school if possible, or college at most.
• How have you been selling yourself, your craft, your handiwork?
• Where have you been talking about your handiworks and expertise? Everyone is great at something, what are you great at?

I know writing can be a chore, but hey we now have vlogs (video logs), and podcasts (audio logs), you have no excuse. YOU CANNOT GET FAR WITHOUT DOCUMENTATION!

A friend from the streets of Twitter once said; attend school, get what it offers, but develop yourself more into what you desire to be. – Uchechukwu A.

How do you develop yourself more into what you desire to be?

This is one thing I always wanted to achieve while I was growing up. I completed this at age 26 I think. How did I do it?

By blogging! Not just any blogging though, ‘personal blogging’.

If you have read any of my stories on why I started blogging, you would know this.
