Today is the glorious day of ShineMat.com and also for me too. It’s our birthday friends. Yes, you are hearing right. Today is birthday of mine and my most beloved blog ShineMat.
ShineMat.com has just crossed 8 years. Huge time, isn’t it?
This post is totally off topic and dedicated for those peoples who are really serious for blogging and have patient enough for blogging. Here I am going to share my blogging history from starting till now.
Well, the story will be boring little bit. Can you effort to read dear?
By profession, I am an Advocate certified by the Bangladesh Bar Council.
I started my blogging journey way back in 2009 using free blogspot and the URL was shinemark.blogspot.com
That time I was 18 years old.
I was sharing stories, poems, short text messages, songs download links etc. More interesting fact was, my wordpress blog was full of widgets. Such as: flags, visitor counter, live counter, recent, random and popular posts and what not. Ha Ha Ha.
Later than, I focused to design my blog via HTML and CSS codes. Sometimes whole night I passed in front of desktop PC in my father’s shop.
Oh! That time I had no personal computer. I can still remember, I was a sleepless boy for 2 nights just for understanding some simple CSS codes. Actually I did not pass my times to make any contents because I had no idea the power of web contents. Maximum time I was playing with web codes.
During those days I got a work offer from Canada to re-design their official webpage and logo. I grabbed this without thinking anything not only for making money since that was my first proposal. The value of the work was $400. After completing their work, they paid me through AlertPay, which was later known as Payza. A few years later, this Payza platform also shut down for legal issues.
Without spending a single time I bought my personal laptop by this money.
FREE TRAFFIC TIPS:
I admitted to Asian University of Bangladesh to complete my BBA program and started living at mess in Dhaka city. (Around 120+ km distance from my home) Then I didn't have any worries, because I had a laptop to work.
During learning SEO through online, I realized that only SEO is primary method to drive traffic. I started writing my blogging experiences and ideas in my ShineMat.com tech blog along with some more topics. The journey was going on…
I was aware of the importance of custom domain. That’s why, on 26/02/2012 I bought “www.shinemat.com” domain and installed it to my blogger blog on 04/03/2012.
The 4th March is my birthday date and ShineMat’s too. Isn’t it Interesting?
I was a Happy trainer on Advanced SEO at:
At the end of 2013, I successfully completed my BBA Graduation degree on HRM. I came back to my sweet home.
As followed this routine two years has been passed.
* I got my MBA degree.
* Some new products and services added to my business.
* Bought hosting for my blog.
* I am planning to start another business.
* Lost a favorite person.
* Met some new peoples who really inspired me to success in business career.
I never dreamed that this LLB degree would change my life. Allah is truly a good planner ever.
Again, the biggest credit behind my Advocateship goes to my two friends.
1. Tonmoy Islam
2. Shofiq Islam
With every kind of sadness and happiness I want to be good in my every single step…
The business and blogging are going on its way with me…
As for your love and good prayer, I am good enough overall, Alhamdulillah.

Then these two friends of mine inspired me to study on law. After earning MBA degree, it was really a new challenge to start study again. However, I bravely got admitted to Brahmanbaria Law College. I completed my law studies and earned LLB degree.I never dreamed that this LLB degree would change my life. Allah is truly a good planner ever.
My Advocate Certification : 2026
After completing LLB, its now a bigger challenge has come in front of me, and that is to get certified as an Advocate by the Bangladesh Bar Council. Which is a BIG competitive public examination. I studied a lot. With the prayers of my MOM and the grace of Allah, I passed 3 difficult steps of exams on the first chance and got certified as an Advocate in Bangladesh.
