I got it: My Reflection On Blog Writing Training by Somali Public Agenda -SPA

In 2020, Abdifatah Ali Mohamud a friend of mine, and I sat together to prepare a new year’s resolution and blog writing was one of the goals that we were sat, a month ago. Abditahah shared with me the Application link for SPA’s Blog Writing Training via Whatsapp. I wrote an application letter. It was a requirement for the training. Fortunately, I was selected to be part of the training. And from there on, I continued to attend the training which was taking place two days a week for four weeks. The Blog writing training was revolving around well-crafted tips and tricks on blog writing; followed by assignments. In the training, the facilitators used a combination of assignment reviews, suggestions, as well as a mentorship session that compliments the insightful content we were shared by the instructors. The training was not only about writing. It was also learning how to engage your audience and create an impact.

When I joined this training by SPA, my expectation was to get technical guidance on how to write a blog. Today, four weeks later since I joined this training, I can safely say, the program has not only met but also exceeded my expectations. I got a deeper understanding of how to write and decimate blog posts. I also learned how to create attractive content and draw traffic to the blog. Currently, I feel more confident in writing a successful and spotless blog from a scratch.

During the training, every Thursday, we had the opportunity to meet with a professional blogger who would share with us his blog journey and life experiences., The mentors would share with us useful tools, techniques, and resources that are essential to our future blog writing endeavors. As a matter of fact, I appreciated the training facilitators, Mr. Mahad Wasuge and Hassan Guled (Sadik Anod), the Executive Director and Director, SPA Center for Learning and Development, for their tireless support and commitment to delivering this fruitful training. They displaced to us undivided effort to help us get the better of this experience.

I am fully dedicated to continuing my personal development and book blog writing not just for myself, but for my country as well. Honestly, guiding people to have many readers is my greatest ambition.
