Co-blogging with daughters

When I encouraged my daughters to blog, I knew it is going to be a big responsibility for me to guide and protect them in using this medium. In just a few weeks, I also felt a new closeness as we gradually build our relationship as peers as the blog gets treated like a joint business venture where both of us have to deliver on our commitments.

Take the case of Fortune Reader, I had a backlog in posting Archeia's prediction while her recent school activities also caused her delays. Gradually, we are catching up.

In the last two weeks, I've been contemplating on how to make Janin's Rockista Craze an exciting adventure for her and be more than just uploading her videos. Last night, my question was answered as she eagerly awaits the opening of Pinoy Big Brother Season 2 and immediately blogged about it. I'm sure this will keep her blog busy soon enough.

I have four more blog projects to work on with teens and kids in the household.

My daughter is a Rockista

One of the things I've decided upon lately is to introduce my children to the concept of blogging and how can they use it as a medium to flaunt their talent and generate income.

The adventure started with my eldest daughter as the primary content provider behind Fortune Reader. That site has the highest clickthrough rate insofar as my Google AdSense stats is concern. The challenge is to keep the blog updated and get more visitors to come in.

My younger daughter has a knack for singing and can play the guitar. As we discussed a possible blog project for her, we decided to capitalize on her singing as the main focus of the blog. As a result, the Rockista Craze Blog is born and she made her first YouTube showing a 1-minute rendition of the song Spolarium.

I don't know how far this project will go but I'd rather help them now and supervise their blogs.
