It’s that time of the year when you say ‘goodbye’ to the old and bring forth the new theme. If you have been a regular reader to this blog, you can see that I have taken the next step to bring this blog to another level with a brand new design. Oh, I’m so excited about it.

It’s a complete makeover from the simple, minimalist design from Speckyboy which I admit I have grown attached to it to a new Grunge-look design from the creative hands of WeFunction.

3 Reasons Why I Choose Premium Theme

1. Building Loyal Readers

This is yet another experimentation of using a premium theme to attract more readers in the hope of turning them into loyal subscribers. I have always subscribed to the idea that if one is serious about blogging, he/she should invest in a custom design or buying a premium theme if the budget is limited. And I opted for the latter.

2. Now It’s Time to Monetize

Apart from my experimentation with Google Adsense and other affiliate programs, I have not seriously look at the possibility of direct advertising. There is a certain benchmark I follow before I think that form of monetizing is justifiable. With more traffic and improved no. of subscribers, I think now it’s time I move forward to another phase of learning curve - Direct Advertising.

Just a little bit of shameless promotion here, there is still 125×125 advertising spots available, if you think this blog is worth a few dollars a month, you know where to contact me, don’t you?

3. First Impression Last

What’s the single most difficult factor of being a new blogger? Drawing from my own experience, I think it should be lack of credibility. People would not want to have a second look at your blog and tend to click away if the first impression of your blog design has that feel of being just another newbie.

That said, with a new premium theme I’m hoping that this blog will be more distinguishable from the clutter in the blogosphere and not appear to be just another ‘cheapskate newbie’.

Be a Top Commentator of the Month

First thing first, I’ll like to express my personal thanks to those people who have been supporting this blog, those who have been loyal subscribers, regular commentators, visitors and to those who just drop by and click away thinking, “Nah, just another newbie“. Without you guys, I won’t be at where I am today. Thank you for your support and critique.

Therefore, from this month onwards, I’ll be reserving one advertising spot for the Top Commentator of the Month. What it means is that if you are the Top Commentator of the month, you will be rewarded with a Free 125×125 banner ads for a period of one month. I guess I don’t need say anything further other than the more you comment, the higher your odds of getting free advertising on this blog. Good luck!
