Gordie – thanks for sharing your tips!! I am working remotely from Thailand now, but have a very big interest in China. What part are you in? I taught a university level class in Bangkok, and recently started teaching English at a local high school in Krabi. Personally, with running a business, I prefer doing the university gigs… but if you do that part time here, they won’t give you a work permit. Maybe China would be a good option to do both? I’ll be in touch and am checking out your site now! Thanks!
Cheers,
Brooke

Regarding the blogging, I know it can be hard. I messed around for a good 8 months before I had an understanding of blogging and how things worked and it’s only really been the last 5 months that I’ve worked hard on my blog. It can indeed be difficult gaining readers. One thing I suggest is guest posting, 2-4 a month for big blogs.

Leaving comments helps, but its not really worth the effort. Only do it if you really enjoy the posts.
I am only writing 2 posts a week on my blog, and 2-4 guest posts a month, and that gets mee 150-250 new readers a month which I’m happy with

Good luck on your journey and thanks for sharing
Cheers

I also highly recommend teaching English as a safe way to explore the world. Thanks for the comment.

I also feel that new blogger struggle. It takes time and work like everything worthwhile I guess.

As a fellow China expat I can to relate to much of what he has said, especially the great (fire) wall, it’s a hassle speaking freely when I know that everything I do and say is being censored (is it spooky that my VPN’d firefox just crashed as I finished writing that sentence…?!) As a journalist of an English magazine in Harbin I know that with every step I do so with the fear of broken egg shells & deportation. It’s a fact of life but change is happening and the country is evolving, ever so slowly!

One of the greatest things you can do is experience this highly-misunderstood country first hand. Teaching English is a fantastic way to do that, especially as your students will offer insights not offered anywhere else. I congratulate Gordie on his achievements both with his blog and his time in China, it’s a contradictory country that can push you to your extreme and heal you simultaneously.
