My life as a blogger.
Stephen chanced upon the opportunity to be part of the CoRe Programme, and this has inspired him to pursue his blogging passion with much more consistency and dedication. He has also gained insights into how to deal with volunteers and individuals in the international organization in which he works. He shares his story:
My name is Stephen Agbemasiku, from Assin South in the Central region. I have completed my national service and am now scouting for a job. I am excited to have been a member of the Blogging Group of the CoRe programme. In 2018, I developed the interest in blogging after visiting a friend’s website for news. I asked him to develop one for me, which he did. I then began my journey to creating my personal media house known as Stephen Media Gh. I engaged in blogging for about seven months but was never consistent. I then lost interest and left my site dormant.
In September 2020, I learnt about the e-mentoring aspect of the Core Programme on television and decided to join. After several mentoring sessions, I came to the realization of how to become a successful blogger. I now understand how things work and the need to be consistent, passionate, and dedicated to my blog. I have learnt about how to name a blog, the kind of information to churn out to the public, how to avoid fake traffic and, above all, how to monetize my blog, generate additional income from the biggest search engine in the world and other technicalities.
I am confident and ready to bounce back to my blogging. I will not just be an ordinary blogger but one with a difference, especially with my new website I am about to launch.
Through CoRe, I have been able to gain new insights and extensive exposure to several fields through presentations and discussions led by our mentor, Madam Leticia Baidoo. I have received guidance on how to choose a career and to cope with work I am the Secretary-General of an international voluntary organization currently operating in eighteen (18) countries across the globe. We are into youth mentorship and development. I have gained more insights into how to deal with volunteers and individuals I give mentorship to in these countries through WhatsApp, Google Meet, email, and other social media platforms.
I’m very grateful to the CoRe mentoring programme for coming to my aid. Thank you
