Happy 21th Birthday To Me!
Time passed so fast & in the twinkling of an eye, I am 21 years old. Nothing much happened this year other than the decision I have taken to become a full time blogger.
LiewCF’s post back in 2005 which he mentioned he quit his job to become a full time blogger has inspired me a lot. Of course, not everyone can become a full time blogger, but I sincerely believe that one can achieve their dream by working harder & don’t take things for granted.
I don’t just put up a few posts & call myself a full time blogger. I followed Liew’s advice: Do part time blogging before jumping on the bandwagon of make money online. 2 years have passed & I am ready to take the challenge. By quitting my studies and focus solely on my blog, traffic have started to increase every month.
Of course, this decision aint easy to make. You have to take a lot of things into consideration: Money, family, social life, etc. By choosing this path you are all on your own; From content creation to monetizing, everything has to be done by yourself. Prepare to expect the unexpected.
I wont call myself “problogger“. I aint pro, I still have lot to learn. Darren Rowse, LiewCF, etc are those people that deserved to be called pro. They are the pioneers of making money online.
Highlight of the year:
Million thanks to Mr Lee for giving me the opportunity to contribute guest articles for Sin Chew Jit Poh! The series will be going on from early November till January, so please buy a copy of Sin Chew every Wednesday to show your support!

Bought myself a Macbook Pro 
- Gotta love the slick interface & faster processing of documents & web pages. I run Windows on my Mac as well, both of them are great OS, I do occasionally use Windows to make sure I wont forget how Windows looks like 
If there’s anyone who’s reading this post, perhaps the best birthday gift you can give me is to become a loyal reader of EdwardKhoo.com or add me as a friend on . Thank you so much for supporting & I will do my best to write more useful articles in the future
Wow… You did great. With 10K daily visitors, you won’t need to find a 9-5 day job.
Great and Congrates for your decision as a full time blogger.
Hope you share more on how you build such traffic in 2 years time?
–blog for dream–
: You are doing great too. Add more contents & you will be fine
: Yea, gonna write one about that soon. Readers must be curious about that
Happy birthday!!
You’re on your way to become pro…
Hi, first time landing your site here.
Congratz for your crucial decision to make full time blogger a carrier. There are many bloggers in Malaysia but not many can really make it full time. I can see that you are passion and persistence of what you are doing. You deserve for it. It is my dream too.
Btw, can i know how many blog are you managing for you to become a full time blogger?
: Thx
: I have 1 more niche site & preparing to open one more within months, still planning
Hello there, so… Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday.. Nice to know your blog… Hope to learn more from you
With such traffic, it is worthwhile to make yourself a full time blogger.
Maybe you can pursue your degree in part time.
It will definitely helps for your blogging career as well.
& Shually & Marco : Thanks for the wishes
That’s awesome! Happy birthday
Hey,.. I am a frequent follower of your blog. Just didnt notice ur only 21. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Wish you all d best and keep up the good WORK
I’d call you a problogger:) Over 10k visitors a day. That’s a major achievement and you’ve given up your old job too. Happy birthday to you!
Thx all, will work harder from now on
Wow… Congrats… I hope one day I can have that amount of visitors too!
great to heard that another successor with blogging.
may be u can still consider to continue study… study with not focusing on result is kinda fun. All your class mate will be admire on you. Most student are hardwork because of the result, force them self to get higher mark to get better life, while you can just easily study, as long can pass without worry much on your future
: Thanks
: Haha you know what once I went full time blogging traffic has tripled the time when I was doing part time blogging, ROI is wayyyy better than continue study
Good luck to your chosen path. I suggest you take online courses related to web development. More power to you and your blogging career!
: Yea thanks for the advice
this is madness, with 10k views a day, you are almost the next problogger!
: Still have a long way to go though, btw thanks for the compliment
wow.. 10k visitors are huge, but u need to keep it consistant.
remember, visitors X CTR = $$
all the best to u!
: Thanks for the support

Happy birthday and congratulations in your success. How i wish i was like you! How much time do you spend on blogging per day bro?
: Around 1-2hours per day, most of the time I have been reading other blogs
Nice to see your stats. I am not getting traffic what you are getting in one day. Sill my first month of blogging over. I hope i will see steep rise in traffic every month. My target for this month is to triple my original traffic from SE.
Congratulation… good luck
: You can do it, put more effort & you will see the result in no time
: Thanks
Brother, can you visit my website and give some comments on how i can improve it? ^^ Thanks ya!
: Just left a comment on your blog
Happy belated birthday Edward! 21k daily traffic is a huge number. Between, how many posts do you have right now and any marketing or traffic building strategies that you would like to share?
I’m new to your blog, this is my first time here. I’m a Malaysian blogger as well, 22 years old, but yet a full time blogger, perhaps in future. As what CFLiew said, be part time blogger before jumping into full time blogger. I’ve been blogging for about 1.5 years and I love blogging. Currently doing part time degree course in Quantity Surveyor, and full time working as a Quantity Surveyor, I don’t think I won’t be full time blogger shortly, perhaps after my studies.
Anyway, Edward you’ve done a great job! Keep in touch…
Cheers,
Lee
: Guest posting & try to build a community, find blogs in your niche & try to submit quality posts.
Since your blog is related to making money online, perhaps Johnchow.com might be a good place to kick start your guest posting career
Sounds great, I’ve seen your guest post in quite a few place, Adesblog, LiewCf and etc, all these are popular and well known blog. So I believe that you’ve done a great job with your blog too, or else you won’t be able to get 10k UV in daily basis.
I got to see what I can do with their blog, I’ve done a few guest post in the past, received few traffic but not much.
Thanks for the tips Edward.
Cheers,
Lee
Got to know you through LiewCF. Congratulations and Happy belated Birthday!
: Glad you found those tips useful
Classifieds: Thanks & welcome
All the best, and mac is the way to go
: It’s my honor to have another successful problogger commenting on my blog, hope to see you in the future
Great information for start up and pro bloggers. I don’t know how you do it but I always find something new to take away for my own blog.
Keep up the good work. We’re all learning a lot from someone who’s actually making it work.
Best,
Webwordslinger
: Glad you found it useful
hi Edward, know your blog through Sin Chew, wish you could be the 2nd LiewCF .
cheers
James
I stumble to this great story from Liew CF. I do respect your daring decision. Hopefully in 2010 you will be more successful. After all, CONTENT IS THE KING ! (because I like HongKiat.Com, full of FREE info). With great content, you don’t have to worry about SEO anymore. And great content is a long-term SEO strategy.
I will buzz around your blog soon. Good Luck Edward.
& Safuan: Thanks
