The Art of Professional Blogging Series:
- Mentally Blogging Like A Pro
- Technically Blogging Like A Pro
First, let me get the credentials out of the way so you understand where I am coming from.
I am James Mowery, and I was formally a contributing writer and social media analyst for Mashable.com—it is currently the #1 ranked social media blog on the internet today. I left Mashable last year to pursue my own technology blog appropriately named Tech In Demand. It covers topics including technology, gadgets, web 2.0, and games. It is where I often express my insights and provide analysis about tech industry.
Before getting into blogging I worked as a proprietary financial trader. I primarily traded stocks and futures. It is during this time when I really got a sense for managing risk, as having millions of dollars under my control (without even having that much money to lose) could shake even the most mentally stable men and women on this planet.
After that, I took some time to join a gamer site called Total Gamer Zone. It was there where I finally understood what I wanted to do with my life. My ability to write amazing articles that people appreciated motivated me to write, and write I did.
I wrote articles that probably would have taken the average person days to write, and I did it in a matter of a few hours. The words simply came to me, and having fast fingers helped as well.
All that was my into Mashable, which solidified my status as an authority on the topics I am so determined to write about. I hope this article proves useful and inspirational to all aspiring professional bloggers everywhere.
