Road to Success

As I got close to 50,000 hits I couldn’t help remember the good and not so good times. In this post I will reflect on all dates and people that helped me through the way.

The Story

Pre-blog

I made my penguin in Novemember of 2006 on a dare by my good friend Soccerbama.

Why I chose the name:

At the time I had the Character  Yogi Bear on my mind. I fused the two together and got Yogipen.

Getting the blog.

I created my blog just randomly. After a day I got sick of it. I never logged on for 4 months.

My Return:

After a few months I returned in October. I was becoming an expert and was helping children in my school and mostly my neighborhood. I felt that because everyone liked my help I could help others. On October 27th I returned. My first post was on all the candy being found during the Halloween Party.

A Mentor:

Blogging was a new thing for me. I didn’t know about views or how to get them. Shortly after I started I was introduced to a guy name Mastermrz. He became a mentor and a friend. I learned how to post with “pizazz” and learned what info to display.

False Fame:

As I was blogging I quickly got famous. Well in my mind. At my school a lot of people viewed my site. I felt “well everyone must know my site!” I was wrong. It took me 3 months (since October) to get 1,000 hits.

BPE HERE I COME!:

In early December I was asked to join the BPE (best penguins ever). I thought that was cool. Turns out that little invite changed how I blogged. At the time I thought I was top dog still, turns out I just thought I was better.

The site turned into more of a Fight between me and the other members instead of Club Penguin. The site went into a downward spiral. It is no longer around. The downward spiral taught me to focus on CP and nothing else.

Here is a picture that I took when I joined:

New Year, New Changes:

With the New Year changes were made. The BPE headed in a downward spiral. I jumped ship again to another Blogger website. That website got me fired because of my False Fame. After being fired I realized my mistakes. I went on vacation (in real life) and returned better than new. I was different now.

Chances of a life time:

As I grew people noticed. My friend (to be) Jakzarhad started up a new site called Mammoth Event. It was a chance for me to finally learn in a different way then just MRZ. Sadly though he quit a week later. But this event made me realize I was on the verge of fame, the verge of being noticed.

Starting all over:

As I continued to grow I began helping others. I joined many sites but no more needed my help that Xstermnater7’s I really enjoyed working on his site. We (and BetaXs) were becoming popular and his site helped me grow into a helper that is loyal to sites more than my own.

Living the Lie:

As I grew I wanted to stir things up. I told people I was a beta as a joke. To many people found out. Eventually I couldn’t handle it. I told people I wasn’t a beta just was very good at editting.

Heart Break:

In June everything crumbled (well in my opinion). Yes my site was popular and all but still something bad happened. MRZ has “gone on vacation”. I learned a week later on a game called Runescapehe had actually quit. I was heart broken. Later that month Jakzar quit. Everything fell apart. I was very sad.

A blessing in Disguise.

With the “death” of MRZ and Jakzar I had to learn to fend for myself. I soon posted better then ever. I learned I could do anything on my own. I had started to become a blogging genius. Getting on the Fastest Growing blog list and such. I was becoming my mentors.

Becoming a Mentor:

At the time I didn’t know it but my good friend Xs7 had become my apprentice. According to him (Lyonx now) I was what made him the way he is. I am very happy to have helped him and have him respect me the way he does but I must add that I wasn’t trying to be a mentor. I was trying to keep a job .

Domination:

As I grew I got better at blogging. I soon began to dominate passing friends and mentors before me. I would get 200 hits a day. Since October 20th I haven’t had any views under 175! I was becoming a master at blogging some said. Helping others, becoming friends, and even making what people now call guest apperances at parties.

I really hope you enjoyed this story. I have many more to tell (and some for you to find out).
