Because Of Curiosity I Became A Blogger

Yes, this is true. Out of my curiosity in blogging because I saw some of my colleagues creating a blog because of these sponsor ads or link buying which is very popular at that time. So because of this curiosity, I created my first blog and I named it Mixture of all kinds which is a general topic. After 3 months I earned from this blog and from earning I purchased my first domain and hosting which spent around 1,000 pesos a year. This is around 2007 where I created a different niche from this first domain I purchased. Some of the niches I created from this URL are, Showbiz and celebrities, Games, Science, Electronics, Sports, Travel, and many more, all of this niche are sub-domain. I continued creating money from these niches in a couple of years until I focus on one (1) niche and this is travel.

We have also the same mentality when it comes to travel, we loved to travel first around the Philippines. With this monthly travel, I decided to purchase this domain “Travel Ta Bai” which means travel with a buddy. Together, we visited around 60 provinces already out of 81 provinces in the Philippines. We also visited 5 countries as a couple of bloggers.
