Link Fishing

Fishing for links is not just an ordinary kind of task. It,may sound so easy but it’s not.

It was a great day for link-building when my manager told me about my new task. It was about a site for fishing that we need to link-build. She told me to look for sites that needs to have a good page rank, offer them $25 and request to link from it.

You may say that it’s just easy because we’re offering money in exchange of a link, but it’s not. At first I also thought that it was just a simple task but I was wrong.

I was not able to find any site that will accept my offer. I sent out almost 50 requests and out of 50, I got zero positive reply. I was so pissed off and hopeless.

I continued looking for sites and saw this article about fishing.I read the article and I was extremely lucky to learn this lesson that helped me, not only in my link-building task, but also in becoming a strong person. I’ve learned to persevere. Just like in fishermen, link-builders also needs to have perseverance in order for them to acquire links.

Fishing for links is not just an ordenary kind of task. It,may sound so easy but it’s not.Yes, you may have the skills in linkbuilding but you must have the perseverance or else you’ll end up empty.

This week was a busy day for designing creative stuff, sketching and doing Photoshop works. I was instructed by Hyz to create a design for VAT’s desktop wallpapers and IM avatars. I was so excited that right after she told me about the task I immediately sit in from of my computer and look for some artistic designs in the net.I was looking for a spark to start this art task of mine. And guess what???

I ended up spark-less!!!

Then while browsing the net I stumbled up this blog about creativity and I saw this line saying:  “Creativity is a response to something, not a sleight-of-hand that pulls something out of the air.” After that I felt something weird. It seems like I was possessed by an “Artistic God”. Like a magic act,  5 designs came out of nowhere.

I never thought I’ll ended up having this designs. I’m so happy with the result so I told my self, I’m not an artist alright but I’ve got talents. LOL 🙂
