Hello BlogKori Readers

by Tamal Anwar on March 12, 2018

When I first started BlogKori, it was a collection of blogging and money making tips. I wrote about everything I came across and It helped many beginners.

When I first started my online journey I had an interest in blogging and internet marketing. Then I went into freelance web development. Over the last few years, I failed to keep up with my blogging because of my web development job.

I learned a lot about web development working as a freelancer, I now want to pursue a career in web development. For this reason I would like to write about web development and stuff.

I have been thinking about this blog for the last 6 months, which direction should I take it. For sometimes I thought about writing WordPress blogging related stuff. But nothing was clicking.

I thought about turning blogkori into a web development blog, but the name doesn’t really fits the topic. So I decided to start a new blog to write about web development, WordPress, NodeJS and any relevant technology which I am working at the moment.

I have not fully decided yet, so I have to think a lot of the things through. On my new blog I don’t want to cover newbie tutorials, instead I want to go through intermediate topics and opinions about the things I do.

So what about this BlogKori blog? I haven’t thought about it yet. I may keep this blog for a yearly report of my online journey. Have to think about that too.

For now, just know that I am working on a new blog and if you are a web developer like me, then you can follow my live videos on facebook. -I talk and show web development stuff in my live videos.

Do you have any suggestions or feedback? Please leave them as comments:

by Tamal Anwar on October 27, 2017

10 yearsOct 27, 2017 marks my 10 year anniversary of working online. Ten years from now, on this day I started looking for ways to build a website. I started with no money or knowledge and was able to make a career in this field.

Being a Pro Freelancer

by Tamal Anwar on October 21, 2017

Many freelancers are bound by their marketplaces. If you work in Upwork then your career is limited to that platform only. You go by the rule of the marketplace.

So the next logical step to advance your career is to go independent. Get clients from outside of the marketplaces.

Here’s how to do that: [Continue reading…]

You Should Not Learn C Programming Language if you are just starting out

by Tamal Anwar on October 19, 2017

If you are just getting started in programming, you should never pick C as the first language to learn. It’s too difficult and will make your life miserable. Instead use a beginner friendly lang such as Python, Ruby or JavaScript. This will make your life easier.

C is the mother of all programming languages. It is a general purpose programming lang, you can build anything with it like operating systems, games, software etc.

When a newbie comes into programming, the world looks like a wonderland with so many possibilities. C has a reputation for being the the go-to language of the top folks. [Continue reading…]

Long Blog Posts Suck!

by Tamal Anwar on October 16, 2017

It simply sucks. I don’t personally read blog posts word by word, so how can I expect you to read them too? I know there are people who are kind enough to read a 1,000 word long blog article from start to finish, but I think that’s a minority.

Why waste your time? Let me give you what you need to know in less words.

For the last few years I developed a habit of writing longer blog articles. Guys like Neil Patel shells out 2,000-3,000 word articles in their blogs and advice everyone to do that same, because of the obvious SEO benefits. The entire blog-sphere is shifting towards long blog post formats.

But why write long posts just for the sake of it?

Here’s my take:

Our attention spans are getting shorter and shorter. A long blog post means a long way to scroll down in your mobile phone, which sucks!

I personally don’t read 1,000 word articles anymore. I just scan the headlines and the bullet lists.

If you like long reads, go read a story or a novel.

But for instructional pieces like the ones I share in my blog, short is better.

Do you agree with me?

You Can Use Bitcoin As a Payment Method for Online Business

by Tamal Anwar on September 8, 2017

I can’t stop, most recently I have become interested in Bitcoin and the blockchain technology. If you have been following the news lately, you know that Bitcoin is on the rise. And not just that, there are many other coins like Ethereum, Litecoin, Dash are on the rise as well.

Long story short: there are many new technologies being developed on top of the blockchain platform and the total valuation of the coins combined is more than 150 Trillion US dollars ($150,000,000,000) That’s a lot of money and ambition in this field.

Anyways, when I got interested in Bitcoin, just like the next person I was amazed by the price hike. But as I learned more about it, I realized it could be a solution to a growing pain to many people. [Continue reading…]
