As Vanessa said people are incredibly generous
in the areas where they have passion. It is so true…Since I like music and
violin, I decided to explore online violinist communities and share information
and knowledge from those communities. I visited the violinist community at
Google+ first, but it was very disappointing because it was static and rarely
updated. However, I found two active violinist communities: a subreddit
r/violinist and violinist.com website. In these communities, violinists from
professional musicians to novice students had gathered and helped each other.
Well, in most cases, novices got help from professional musicians and teachers.
But, those experts were so willing to answer any questions from beginners. The
online forums were full of useful knowledge and information. Though I could
look up any topics using the keyword search, I thought it would be great if I
rearranged some useful knowledge and information using curation technique from
multiple sources. That was why I developed a new blog for beginner violinists
like me. For every post, I chose one topic and included any relevant things
from multiple sources. I started with my own experience and added some experts’
opinions. Then, I listed relevant links to the posts in online forums. I
promoted my blog on multiple social media channels: Twitter, Facebook, and
Instagram. It was amazing to see people from all over the world visited my
blog! Currently, my blog is locked for unknown reasons by Google Blogger…I
really don’t know why and got mad…Anyway, I will find another good blog service
and upgrade my knowledge sharing project with better curation.
