John Raul dot Com » Blogging http://www.johnraul.com I am a multifaceted geek: a web developer, a web designer, and an overall website specialist.

Since then, we got in touch and shared thoughts about blogging, traffic building, computers, and lifestyle differences between our countries. It’s always cool to have some new friends from different cultures and learning from them. Just today, Brad invited me for a YouTube interview I never had yet ever since — so he made a new record for me.

Note: Sometimes I don’t hear his questions well on my cheap headphone so I end up giving him a wrong answer. It felt like I am dumb because I didn’t follow some of his questions.

Brad is a technology enthusiast like me and a blogger. He broadcasts himself on his Justin dot TV’s channel, he does videos, and he works on his WordPress blog which is currently having a PageRank of 4.  So, I found it easy to get along with him since we have same simple, cool geeky minds (I’m sure Brad would say “Not really.”). Also, I like his English accent! Be sure to check out his blog on WordPress. :D  

If you are reading this and you want to chat with me as well, go on and add me in your instant messengers. Trust me, I love meeting people from different places and with that, I let myself easy to be reached online.

First, you’ll start learning how to write articles properly, then you’ll begin to appreciate doing research that you never really liked when you were still at school. You’ll learn how to promote your blog to various social networks, and then finally decide to monetize it at the same time. The difficult part is, when you immerse into blogging, you can hardly stop.

One thing about blogging is that is it very time-consuming but very satisfying when your published articles are able to make good traffic to your sites and clicks on your affiliate advertisements. Blogging is very addicting indeed. The bonus is that you also get to know with new people from anywhere in the world and befriend them simply because of a popular blog post you submitted on Digg or get stumbled in Stumbled Upon by other users.

Today, to celebrate the Fool’s Day, I’m going to show you the first craziest video I ever did in my whole life that was uploaded in YouTube. I did not make it for nothing, it is for this blog and for other bloggers. The video actually tells bloggers to take a while and get a break from writing or doing tasks related to blogging. And if you want to know what bloggers should do during breaks — well, just do the locomotion!

If you are a blogger and you want to join the “locomotion” phenomena, then just download that song, get your webcam to record a video, and use that dance step. Send it to me after and I’ll weave all our videos to become a global blogger locomotion. :D
