This is my angry response to the Indi Blogger Forum’s Discussion Topic “Is Blogging a Waste of Time?”
The author of the Thread Mr.Balasubramanyam from Ahmedabad thinks that Blogging is a Waste of Time. So Here is my response to him.
Dear Sir,
I am a Personal Finance, Business, Entrepreneurship & Great Business Ideas Blogger. I m from Ahmedabad, Gujarat & I run a Finance Blog 'MY Journey To Billionaire Club'.
http://www.myjourneytobillionaireclub.blogspot.com/
I am totally disagree with you.
Let me tell you that, I have launched this Blog to give people Financial Education. I don't believe in throwing money towards poors. It will not solve their poverty. Throwing a fish towards hungry won't solve the problem but instead we should teach them how to fish.
I spend 6-8 hours daily behind my blog to educate people about Money & How it works.
You told that, Internet penetration in India is just 2%. Let me tell you that right now there are 45 Million Internet Users in India and by the end of year 2010, it will become 100 Millions (10 Crores). The Internet penetration will increase year by year and with the help of Blog it will be easy to spread the message to literally millions of people.
You gave the Example of Gandhiji. But let me tell you that, If Blogging was at that time, than Gandhiji's work would be very easy. Anyway forget that topic.......
Let me give u my example. Let me tell you that why I have started the blog 'MY Journey To Billionaire Club' in the Middle of the Recession (March 2008). I have not started my blog during the middle of the recession to earn few bugs or to do wastage of my time.
But I have started this Blog to take the world economy out of the Recession. Do you know that how can we take our world out of Recession? Not according to your way..... Means throwing food to those roadside children.
But We can take this world out of recession by creating more jobs in the Economy. And Do you know that How can we create jobs in the Economy? Do you know that who can create jobs in the Economy?
Well, Entrepreneurs can take our world out of the Recession by developing Businesses & Creating jobs in the Economy.
And I have started my Blog to create Entrepreneurs in the Economy. Than and only the problems you are discussing about (Poverty & Hungry Children) will be solved. But Creating Entrepreneurs is not about doing a physical work. But its about changing the mind set of people.
You won't believe that but within 1 year, I have created 3 dozen Entrepreneurs in the Indian Economy. By reading the inspirational reading of 'MY Journey To Billionaire Club', 40 people have chosen to start their own part time Businesses.
And today they have provided employment to hundreds of people in their Companies. If I had thought like you (Blogging is wastage of Time) than Today our Economy would have 40 less Entrepreneurs & hundreds of jobs.
But Today I am feeling satisfied & Successful. I am earning just few dollars per month from my blog from which I can buy hardly a SubWay Sandwich. But I am satisfied because I have created the Entrepreneurs in the Economy via my Blog which otherwise would not have created in any way.......
And you are talking about Poverty? Do you think that Creating Entrepreneurs is wastage of time?
Ok Than I give you an Open Challenge.........
Create 40 Entrepreneurs like me in 1 year of span without wasting your Time (Blogging). Create hundreds of jobs by motivating people.
And now please for god's sake, Don't tell me that Creating Jobs in the Economy is wastage of Time. Ask those Entrepreneurs who have inspired by my blog to start Businesses & create jobs in the economy. If they say that, I was wasting my time than I will right away stop blogging.........
Here is a Response from Mr.Balasubramanyam
“I will not take up your challenge to create 40 entrepreneurs in one year like you, instead I will agree with your post that say that you are doing great work with your blog.
My only comment is that 40 entrepreneurs in a one billion population is rather a drop in the ocean, even though every drop does count.
And my quarrel is not with people like you who create 40 entrepreuners a year with their blogs, but with those bloggers who don't do this or produce an equivalent output for their efforts.”
