Amidst the hesitations and confusions I managed to have this blog.

I have a theory though, that is, I can start out a passive income system through blogging. 

Personally, it's stupid (pardon my word). But at least I have a starting point, I reasoned out to myself.

Pat O'Bryan once said a few years back, "homeless marketing" is not that bad. I mean, it's like I suddenly found myself nowhere with no money, no phones, no friends nor acquaintances, or no nothing and yet could survive, and live to the fullest of my dreams.

It struck me... That was huge, man!

All I gotta do is "wake up" first and foremost. Then set out to prove whether the bearded guy was telling the truth. Of course I gotta have a blog. Just to get started. The whole point is in the action.

Oh, by the way, my name is Ferdinand Fernandez just in case somebody might want to know.

So, there it is. I hope I stated the reason why I wanted to blog to find if I could actually acquire skills, find myself again, and EARN money!



Now, let me get to where I began, okay?

I started searching out from deep within. A place where no one usually go. I do not say I have come so far, I mean maybe you help me out along the way. I don't even want to sound like spiritual or anything as I am not that.

SO, if you could just let me rant for the time being I will give you the floor later.

Technically, I began my journey to the blogging world by looking at many diverse blogs. I browsed almost a thousand of blogs. I won't go over the full details on this yet. Of course, I will in the next post or something. I observed to my heart's out. I read and read - A lot.

Well, not that much.

Just imagine Me sitting in front of my notebook, doing nothing but reading, browsing, read again and go on browsing. If only my stool could speak, it would have complained against me already.

But it's worth the while and the effort.

Because I unconsciously started looking at the things I enjoy doing in my spare time. GUess what I found?

NOthing! lol

Actually, I found something. I just wanna be Me. That's it. I want to be. I found I wanted to be myself and at the same time while earning money so I could be more of myself.

Isn't it crazy?

But being Me is not easy, though. Like I told you...

Me.?!

@#$%^

Looking back on screen, there they are the bloggers, sharing their stories - almost all got happy endings. Well... at least to my eyes.

With their new shiny blogs, attractive lay-outs, amazing contents, I couldn't believe my eyes they are reaping the fruits of their labor. They have flashy checks highlighted in red the amount they have just earned.

Me and myself were very happy on what we see. But we had differences in opinions.

For one I believed I could not actually do what they do because I don't have any skills in html, or anything about the internet.

Me is on the other side of the table. He believes "if others can do it I can do it, too." He pointed out I could read...

Yes, I could read but that cannot even guarantee that I can create a blog, let alone succeed in the online business. And he went quiet.

The blogging world looks beautiful. It looks stunning and attractive. THen we both agreed on one thing.

We both can see the path to this world is dark. Heck, it may even be circuitous. Worse is the danger lurking out there.

We both don't know. So we agreed on that.

I feel afraid and intimidated by the dark, winding road to the Blogging World.

That's the truth.

I have Me, my alter-ego to push me up from time to time. But he's much trouble most of the time.

Or you could join me up in here. I could use a company in my journey to the unknown world.

This is our little adventure.

And if you guys out there would like to join, I guess I would glad to leave Me in the house locked up.

I mean I would go out to find out the truth to "earn money through blogging and fire your boss" or something like that and I will post it here.
