Secara ringkas seseorang yang mengaku dirinya sebagai seorang fulltimer blogger akan mendedikasikan waktu kerjanya untuk ngeblog; dengan kata lain pekerjaan orang itu ialah ngeblog. Kelihatannya sih mudah, apalagi kalau dia seseorang yang memiliki bakat menulis. Tapi tunggu dulu pekerjaan ini kelihatannya saja mudah namun kenyataannya tidak kalah repot dengan pegawai kantoran lainnya. Lho kok bisa?
Coba bayangkan, selain menulis, dia juga harus promosi agar blognya terkenal. Nah, tulisan tersebut tidak boleh asal-asalan. Ingat pembaca adalah raja. Jika mereka menemukan tulisan di sebuah blog yang kelihatan asal dibuat maka bisa dipastikan orang tersebut enggan kembali lagi. Sebaliknya kalau informasi yang ada sangat bernilai dan tulisannya enak dibaca maka ia dengan sukarela akan kembali lagi. Nah, untuk membuat tulisan yang bernilai tentu saja memerlukan suatu riset. Sedangkan untuk menghasilkan tulisan yang enak dibaca diperlukan latihan yang terus menerus; selain tentunya belajar untuk menulis.
Tantangan berikutnya yang harus ditaklukkan oleh seorang blogger adalah ide. Ide tersebut bukanlah sembarang ide, melainkan haruslah sesuatu yang unik dan kemungkinan banyak orang yang mencarinya. Mencari ide seperti ini akan lebih mudah bila blog yang dimiliki memiliki tema khusus yang dikuasai oleh blogger. Namun sebaliknya bila blog yang dikelola memiliki tema yang umum maka sudah dipastikan sang blogger akan lebih pusing dalam menemukan ide :) Ide tersebut diusahakan merupakan informasi sesuatu yang dicari oleh masyarakat dan jarang ada yang membahasnya. Nah, disitulah letak kesulitan menemukan ide.
Jika tulisan sudah di posting maka blogger juga dituntut untuk mempromosikan blognya. Hal ini bisa dilakukan dengan memasukkan ke situs jejaring sosial, jalan-jalan ke blog orang lain, atau yang paling brutal ialah dengan spam di forum, milis, atau blog orang lain. Nah, hal ini juga perlu kerja keras, kecuali bila menggunakan teknik cara-cara hitam SEO :)
Kesemuanya itu tidak mungkin dapat terlaksana bila seorang blogger tidak membuat perencanaa yang matang mengenai hal-hal apa saja yang akan dikerjakan hari ini. Hanya duduk di depan komputer justru akan membuat seorang blogger lebih banyak 'bermain' tanpa menghasilkan apa-apa. Sebaliknya sebuah perencanaan akan mampu menjadi 'peta' bagi seorang blogger ketika dia berada di depan komputer.
Jadi bagi Anda yang mendedikasikan hidupnya untuk nge-blog, yuk kita buat dulu perencanaan yang matang agar hasilnya memuaskan :)

Kembali Hadir dengan Catatan Seorang Fulltimer Blogger
Setelah saya diamkan cukup lama akhirnya blog ini pun kembali saya gunakan dengan mengusu tema catatan perjalanan saya sebagai seorang fulltimer blogger. Semoga saya bisa berbagi apa saja yang saya alami, dapatkan, dan rasakan ketika (berusaha) menjadi seorang fulltimer blogger.
Saya sendiri sebenarnya masih berusaha untuk meraih gelar fulltimer blogger. Kenapa? Karena selama ini saya memang lebih fokus ke bidang pembuatan website daripada ngeblog. Ngeblog hanya saya lakukan ketika ada waktu luang walaupun itu juga salah satu pekerjaan saya selama ini.
Alasan utama kenapa saya mau meraih gelar tersebut ialah karena dulu saya senang menulis. Namun, hobby tersebut lenyap seorang dengan kegiatan saya sebagai pengrajin website. Saya berganti haluan dari menulis artikel menjadi penulis kode pemrograman hehe. Nah, sekarang saya ingin kembali menajamkan kemampuan menulis saya dengan ngeblog.
Semoga gelar ini bisa saya raih dan bermanfaat bagi saya dan keluarga :)

Check No Follow Attribute on Comment System Blog
Give comment on blog that doesn't have nofollow attribute can give backlink that will be indexed by Google. A lot of backlink is one factor to increase page rank. Are there any way to know that comment system on the blog have nofollow or not?
The easiest way is by seeing the source code and find if there is rel="nofollow" or rel="external nofollow the code. But this is not practical way because you must view source code on each site and find nofollow attribute.
The other way by visiting dofollow directory. Allmost all blogs on the directory have erased nofollow attribute. But some blog will active again the attribute.
There is another practical way. This way using with firefox browsing with SearchStatus extention.
After install, restart your browser and you will see @ icon on the status bar. Right click on the icon and click "Highlight Nofollow Links" like on the picture below.

After that you can see that all link with nofollow attribute will be highlighted.
This way is simple, just type blog address, wait for loading and you can see link with nofollow attribute. Except that you can also check page rank or alexa rank of the blog or site that you access.
Have a nice try!
