Why Linda Ikeji Would Have Failed If She Started Blogging in 2013 - YungCheda.

Blogging is a nice profession indeed. So many people do things because they see other people doing it and making big cash from it...

Check it, 19 year olds today go into music because of the likes of Davido, Justin Bieber, Wizkid and others, because they see that these people started making money from music at a younger age.

Same applies to blogging. People are creating blogs today because other people are making it through blogging.

However, I am here to talk or rather, write about Linda Ikeji. I believe very well that Linda Ikeji is hardworking, smart and most especially...beautiful!

According to Linda, she said she Started making good money from her blog in the year 2011 although she started Blogging in 2007.

I think some blogs created in the years 2012/2013 are even better than Linda's blog but many of them are still trying to make head ways with their blogs while Linda is raking in big cheques.

However, There are few reasons why I feel Linda would have failed in blogging

1. Linda was an ex model! Yes! She tried her hands in modelling and really did well at it. Her modelling career gave her a lot of exposure as she got to meet lots of people, opportuned to be invited to events and all that. With her modelling career, Linda already had presence in the entertainment industry so...

She said she left the fashion stuff after she figured she was getting old and had to give the 'younger girls chance to try their hands in modelling too

In Linda's words

"I started modeling at age 17 in 1998 and quit in 2005.

I modelled for every designer who was actively involved in the Nigerian fashion industry. I travelled to all parts of Nigeria and some West African countries for shows. I featured in several calendars, billboards and TV Commercials."


2. Linda started Blogging when blogging careers all over the world were just starting out. There was not a lot of competition back then. Right now, its no news that almost everybody is trying his or her hands in blogging and all are delving into the entertainment niche even though they can't even speak good English and are not even entertaining at all. They end up copying posts and pasting them on their blogs unedited which is very unhealthy.

3. Linda doesn't write her posts to be targeted by search engines. What I mean is that I am not sure Linda knows anything about search engine optimization. She writes three lines of a post and it receives heavy comments. But now, you can't just write few sentences and expect to get traffic from search engine. I am very sure Linda doesn't get much of her traffic from search engines.

4. She has lots of friends in the entertainment industry and so, she is able to get exclusives there by getting back links from other sites which in turn also makes her seem like an authority in the entertainment niche.

By the way, these are not excuses why you shouldn't be a king or queen in your niche even though it were to be the entertainment niche. You can apply some of the things mentioned above and use it for your own improvement.

Linda, I respect you a lot by the way! I respect you for your hard-work. Keep up the good works in your blogging profession! Just saying my mind
