I didnt know that you had to be ” white, male,middle class and heterosexual” to be a Tech Blogger. Since I am a African American male I guess I need to look for another career. Your article was well written until you added these comments that is not only incorrect and ignorant but does not add any substance to the subject of this article.

This post really inspired me. I have recently started school after a taking a year or so off and want to major in journalism to become a tech blogger/journalist, and found this really helpful and quite inspiring, I plan on starting my blog tomorrow and getting my voice out there. Do you have any advice for a student wanting to get in the same field?

Thanks Mashall. Your story really encourage me very much. Bloging is not a short competition but a long run business. Instead of worry about the income, we should completelty focus on generating new and useful contents and one day soon the money will come.

This is great advice! I think one thing people fail to see about jobs is this: “Jobs are a big part of our social lives.” Yes they are. In fact I’ve seen some stuff about how people who work from home are starting to gather together in various places to do their work (sometimes in each others’ homes) in order to fill this social need.

While I’ve never been the “writing type”, I have started a blog, and am very dedicated to making it a success. I really plan on using this blog as leverage however, for other products, and hopefully, I’ll be able to work from home doing something I actually enjoy.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Marshall: Fantastic post. As much as I like your tech intel, I love your personal posts. It’s as if you are telling a story aloud around a campfire so we can learn from the content while simultaneously learning by example.
Thanks,
Kristin
