Back To From Where It Started

To be precise; it been Six years, Two months, and Six days since I planted a seed to write about blogging. The journey started from a free blogspot blog. In its early stage, I do remember, once somebody left a comment sarcastically that why dont you take benefits of it then in response of my post regarding benefits of having custom domains. I didn't have the money then, and also wanted to grow my site on its own without even investing a cent from my pocket. So, I replied, wait and watch we are in progress.

And things started getting into place. I received link placement offer for $10 in one of already published post. This helped in taking one more step ahead by giving an identity to this blog of domain ProBloggersTrick.com. And then journey kept going on for couple more years, including rebranding to Bloggeristan.com, and helping strangers for nothing in return, as I didn't monetize it again and never sold any kind of links again. As I was doing good on my other sites so I didn't felt any need to squeeze money from something of which I was emotionally attached.

It felt so awesome seeing couple hundred people visiting blog each day, hoping they are getting benefited. And then seeing people complimenting, subscribing, interacting, or asking queries were the most immense pleasures I got from here.

Later I got very much busy and stopped posting other than random 2-3 posts a year. But, kept responding to people and solving problem in person free of cost even when they offered or asked for it.

Its been a month now, I have failed to protect the identity of this blogspot blog which it has earned. In short, for some reason I didn't focus online since couple months or half year or even way more. Especially in most recent couple months. I saw an email notification of Bloggeristan.com domain expiring, but didn't acted immediately and then forgot about it. Exactly after 30 days when I was checking emails I saw it, and then contacted my registrar. But he said it has been deleted and is now in process of going towards its new owner as someone has backordered it during expiration time period.

Later found out that it has been taken by someone with whom I have been in contact via Bloggeristan facebook fan page. So I sent him a message enquiring, but he refused. Below I'm attaching my conversation with him.



Still now, this guy has nothing to be blamed. The mistake was mine, I didn't take care of the seed I planted. And it is once again standing where it started its journey. It has lost its identity, I lost a domain with whom I was attached emotionally. Haha, who knows my emotional connections with my domains better than Junaid Akbar, a gentlemen, one of earliest subscriber, and a very good friend I got as a gift from this same blog.

I'm not sure either to come up with new domain name or just make this blogspot great again.

But hopefully, in coming days I will come up with a plan to make it active and helpful again. Btw as a hint, along blogging, I'm planning to share my other experience of making money online and as being an investor and trader in stock exchange. Will also share updates on my coming and under progress online and offline projects as well. Insha'Allah
